Verse:
   G+G
It's cold for early June, but the sun is rising fast
     A minorAm
There's a dew up on the quiet hill where he lays in the grass
FF                              G+G
Staring up at heaven's gates to see if he can see in Jesus' eyes

Verse:
G+G
The woman that he thinks of is still lying fast asleep
   A minorAm
As he asks for resolution and prays his soul to keep
 FF                              G+G
A augmentedA man of god in love, can't touch a man of god, temptation, sunrise

Chorus:
              D MajorD                 G+G
But it doesn't mean I don't love you, it doesn't mean I don't care
              D MajorD                  G+G
It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to run my fingers through your hair
              D MajorD             G+G
It doesn't mean I wouldn't make sweet love to you so right
  FF      C majorC      G+G
It just means, not in this life

Verse:
G+G
This has always been the path for him since the age of nine or ten
    A minorAm
And if only he remembered now the things he knew back then
  FF                          G+G
It seemed god had a plan for him, a clear and decisive role

Verse:
G+G
But he never would have seen her if she hadn't come to pray
    A minorAm
If she didn't need forgiveness, he'd be a holy man today
    FF                              G+G
If she wasn't so damn beautiful, if her eyes didn't bleed into his soul

Chorus:
              D MajorD                 G+G
But it doesn't mean I don't love you, it doesn't mean I don't care
              D MajorD                  G+G
It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to run my fingers through your hair
              D MajorD             G+G
It doesn't mean I wouldn't make sweet love to you so right
  FF      C majorC      G+G
It just means, not in this life

Bridge:
FF       C majorC      G+G
Dear god, I am sorry for my sins
   FF            C majorC       G+G
Dear god, I am sorry for the situation I'm in

Verse:
G+G
He'll analyse the burning, the tremble in his chest
A minorAm
Falls behind on duties and he's sleeping less and less
      FF                                 G+G
He doesn't pay attention in church, he doesn't answer to his name when people call

Verse:
G+G
He's got himself this apple and it's looking so damn good
  A minorAm
But just because he can bite it, it doesn't mean he should
  FF                             G+G
He lets her know his feelings, Eden is burning and he doesn't care at all

Chorus:
              D MajorD                 G+G
But it doesn't mean I don't love you, it doesn't mean I don't care
              D MajorD                  G+G
It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to run my fingers through your hair
              D MajorD             G+G
It doesn't mean I wouldn't make sweet love to you so right
