It's a hell of a time to be thinking about heaven,

didn't you forget the golden rule.

you remind them seek and you shall  find.

Maybe youth will have a time for seeking
E MajorE        D MajorD         E MajorE    E MajorE   E MajorE    E MajorE
after they clean up what you left behind

Chorus:

You were right there when the plate was passed last Sunday,
      E MajorE         D MajorD         C majorC   C majorC   E MajorE   E MajorE
that's the second time you've been to church all  year.
E MajorE        D MajorD        E MajorE     E MajorE
Could you really call yourself a christian
  E MajorE      D MajorD        E MajorE   E MajorE
if charity cost half as much as beer?

You pray a little more as you grow older,
  E MajorE      D MajorD         C majorC   C majorC   E MajorE   E MajorE
you get religion as your hair turns  gray.
  E MajorE         D MajorD        E MajorE     E MajorE
But you don't need to worry about hereafter,
   E MajorE         D MajorD       E MajorE   E MajorE   E MajorE   E MajorE
just worry what you're going to do today.

End-Chorus:
       E MajorE          D MajorD       E MajorE      E MajorE
'Cause it's a hell of a time to be thinking about heaven,
E MajorE       D MajorD       E MajorE      E MajorE
didn't you forget the golden rule.
E MajorE            D MajorD        E MajorE      E MajorE
You've been acting like Jesus owes you a favor,
  E MajorE       D MajorD        E MajorE    E MajorE
but he's a little smart for you to fool.
E MajorE         D MajorD            E MajorE    E MajorE
