• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Verse 1:

Bm                A                Em
    You swear, he comes with every evening
    D                   Em
But it's the first I've seen him
             D            F#
He keeps his morals on a key ring
                      Bm
His intentions up his nose
             A             Em
You've done everything to please him
       D                 Em
You've centered all your leanings
         D                   F#
Still it feels like no one's listening
                                   Bm
You can hear it in their undertones

Pre-Chorus:

   D              Em
I wish we could depart
         D              Em
Under mysterious circumstances
           D            F#
Put your lipstick on my tongue
                     Bm   F#   Bm   G   Bm   A   G
Girl, you'll be fine

Chorus:

              Bm A               E
But there are no atheists in the foxholes
              Bm A                 E
And there are no ways to carve the same tree
         Bm   A
And I am sure
            E
But this is gospel
         Bm
And I am sure
    A             E
The choir's gonna kill me

Guitar Solo:

Bm  A  E (x4)

Verse 2:

Bm               A              Em
    I swear I've eaten all my egg whites
    D                 Em
But still you give me stage fright
            D                    F#
You know it feels like there's a guidebook
                           Bm
That everyone can read but I
                            Em
'Cause when you say "Come closer"
     D                 Em
You really mean "It's over"
          D                   F#
With your room-temperature mimosa
                     Bm
You forgot to chug tonight

Pre-Chorus:

  D                Em
I wonder if it's fun
       D           Em
To be emotionally bankrupt
     D                F#
You take it as it comes
                    Bm   F#   Bm   G   Bm   A   G
God, you'll be fine

Chorus:

              Bm A               E
But there are no atheists in the foxholes
              Bm A                 E
And there are no ways to carve the same tree
         Bm   A
And I am sure
            E
But this is gospel
         Bm
And I am sure
    A             E
The choir's gonna kill me

Oh

Outro:

     Bm
He's gotta get away
    A
You aim, you fire
    E
You wait, you lineup
                          Bm
You pray, he's gonna kill me
               A
All guns for a hire
                  E
Don't pay for the liar
                                   Bm
My killer, my killer is gonna kill me
             A
My God, your God
              E
Is gonna kill me

My God, your God
              Bm
Is gonna kill me
           A
My God, my God
              E
Is gonna kill me

Oh, you could riot
