Song: Something To Believe In
[Verse 1]
D G/D
Well I see him on the TV preaching 'bout the promised land
D G/D
He tells me to believe in Jesus steals the money from my hand
D G/D D G/D
Some say he was a good man lord I think he sinned
D G/D
Twenty two years of mental tears cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
[Verse 2]
D G/D
Who fought a losing war on a foriegn shore to find his country didn't want him back
D G/D
Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon our lawyers took his wife and kids no regrets
D G/D
In a time I don't remember in a war he can't forget
D Em D/F#
He cried "Forgive me for what I've done there cause I never meant the
G
things I did
[Chorus]
N.C. D
And give me something to believe in
G/D
If there's a lord above
D
Give me something to believe in
G/D
Oh lord arise
[Verse 3]
D G/D
My best friend died a lonley man in some Palm Springs motel room
D G/D
I got the call last Christmas Eve and they told me the news
D G/D
I tried all night not to break down and cry as the tears rolled down my face
D G/D
I felt so cold and empty like a lost soul out of place
D Em D/F# G
And mirror mirror on the wall see my smile it fades again
[Chorus]
N.C. D
And give me something to believe in
G/D
If there's a lord above
D
Give me something to believe in
G/D
Oh lord arise
[Interlude]
G D Em D/F# G
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now things I didn't know then
[Solo]
G D/G
[Verse 4]
D G/D
I drive by the homeless sleeping on the cold dark street like bodies in an open grave
D G/D
Underneath the broken old neon sign that used to read "Jesus Saves"
D G/D
A mile away live the rich folks and I see how they livin' it up
D D
While the poor they eatin' from hand to mouth the rich drinkin' from a golden cup
D Em D/F# G
And it just makes me wonder why so many lose and so few win
N.C. D
And give me something to believe in
G/D
If there's a lord above
D
Give me something to believe in
G/D
Oh lord arise
[Outro]
G Em D/F# G
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now things I didn't know then
D
And give me something to believe in
