Verse 1: D I was twenty-four when all my friends G Gave up on their religions D You know Marx called it an opium Bm G But I just call You Jesus D I was twenty-five when I hit the wall Bm G Broke my wrist playing basketball D You know, they say that pride comes before the fall Bm G And I'm on the ground again
