1st Verse:
A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
I found the Holy Bible on a bench outside the courthouse
A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
and I am scared because I do not think of God, no
A augmentedA E MajorE
The thoughts that cross my mind
BB D MajorD
are neither holy, nor divine,
A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE BB
just simple human longings for the boy who does not believe
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
he once believed in me
A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
So I walked on and stuffed that heavy new book under my arm
A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
and then I got in my car and drove on home
A augmentedA E MajorE
I thought of words he said
BB D MajorD
'bout where we're going once we're dead
A augmentedA E MajorE
but other worries fill my head
BB D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE BB
It's selfish and I know I'm wrong
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
but I'll miss him when he's gone
Chorus:
D MajorD
Yeah I still fear the black
A augmentedA
but there's no looking back
E MajorE
and if I'm dying, I'm just dying for you, dear
D MajorD
Can't tell which way to go
A augmentedA
I doubt we'll ever know
E MajorE D MajorD (pause)
Let's take advantage of the time that we've got here
'Cause time's all we've got here
Interlude:
A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
2nd Verse:
A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
I made it home, unlocked the door, and tossed that book onto the floor
A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
where it sat waiting like I'm waiting for the truth, so
A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
I put it in a box under my bed, with all those silly things I've kept
A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE BB
and I will leave it there unread, so I can get back to
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
figuring out how I'll get through today and tomorrow
Chorus:
D MajorD
Yeah I still fear the black
A augmentedA
but there's no looking back
E MajorE
and if I'm dying, I'm just dying for you, dear
D MajorD
Can't tell which way to go
A augmentedA
I doubt we'll ever know
E MajorE D MajorD
Let's take advantage of the time that we've got here
'Cause time's all we've got here
Interlude:
A augmentedA E MajorE BB D MajorD
Bridge:
D MajorD A augmentedA
And if it's just gonna end, what's the point of it all
E MajorE
Call it quits, cut out early, this is surely your fault
D MajorD A augmentedA
When I fall back to you, I am through, I am through
D MajorD
Oh but I do, I do, I do
Chorus:
D MajorD
Yeah I still fear the black
A augmentedA
but there's no looking back
E MajorE
and if I'm dying, I'm just dying for you, dear
D MajorD
Can't tell which way to go
A augmentedA
I doubt we'll ever know
E MajorE D MajorD (pause)
Let's take advantage of the time that we've got here
A augmentedA (hold)
