Am Fmaj7
Dear God, hope you got the letter, and...
Am/G D9/F# C
...I pray ...you can make it better down ...here,
C/G# D7sus2 D9/F# C
I don't mean a big re - duction in the price of beer,

But all the people that you made in your image,

See them starving on their feet,
Bb E7
'Cause they don't get enough to eat,

I can't believe in ...you--------------------!

Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but...
Am/G D9/F# C
I feel ...that I should be heard loud and ...clear,
C/G# D7sus2 D9/F# C
We all need a big re - duction in amount of ...tears,
C/G# D7sus2 D9/F#
And all the people that you made in your image,
D D/C
See them fighting in the street,
Bb E7
'Cause they can't make opinions meet...
Am Fmaj7 Am/G
...About ...God---------------,
D9/F# Am Fmaj7 Am/G D9/F#
I can't believe in ...you--------------------!

[Verse 3]
Am Fmaj7
Dear God, don't know if you've noticed, but...
Am/G D9/F# C
...Your name ...is on a lot of quotes in this ...book,
C/G# D7sus2 D9/F# C
And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,
C/G# D7sus2 D9/F#
And all the people that you made in your image,
D D/C
Still be - lieving that junk is true,
Bb E7
Well, I know it ain't, ...so do you,

[Verse 4]
Dm
I won't believe in heaven and hell,
Bb
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well,
Dm
No pearly gates, no thorny crown,
Bb
You're always letting us humans down,
G7
The wars you bring, the babes you drown,
Bb
Those lost at sea and never found!
[Verse 5]
Dm
And it's the same the whole world 'round,
Bb
The hurt I see helps to compound,
G7
That Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Bb
Is just somebody's unholy hoax,
Dm
And, if you're up there, you'd perceive...
Bb
...That my heart's here upon my sleeve,
G7 A7
If there's one thing I don't believe in...
[Coda]
