Chords for Bethlehem

_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ When I [G#] retire, I will simply write a short [D] story for my revenge
about this town, [F#m] _ East [Bm] Danvers.
The _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D]
first song I learned [F#m] spoke of Bethlehem
[Bm] So is that prophecy?
[D] Or is that brainwashing?
[F#]
Cause no [D] one ever pitched [F#m] the great gods
And I don't know why not
I think that [G] Athena'd understand [D] me
But my [A] chips have fallen
_ [Bm] _
My [G] messiah came calling
[F#m]
But what if he'd not?
_ _ [Bm] Would my soul just [G] rot?
_ Oh, [D] but I'd give for
Just an inch of [F#m] your _ _ peace
Cause [Bm] I wanna fall
But I got bruises on [G] my _ _ knees
_ Oh, [A] but [D] I'd give for
Just an inch of [F#m] your _ _ peace
Cause _ [B] I wanna fall
I wanna be [G] someone that you'd call
My _ _ [F#]
[D] dad's never cursed in [A] his life
I _ [B]
asked if he smoked, [G] he said twice
_ [D]
Well, by that standard, [F#m] I'm a goddamn failure
[B] I passed blunts the day I married [G] my wife
_ [E] But I'm [D] a child of God, [F#m] just in case you forgot
[B] And you cast me out every [G] single chance that you got
[D] And that's your loss, not mine
[F#m] I'll be better than fine
[B] You just missed your shot to meet [G] the unholy divine
I'm [D] saying, fuck a savior
[F#m] And if she can't take it, then she's small
[B] I'm gonna ask a lot of questions
[G] Because I'm giving this my all
You [D] know the people preaching now
[F#m] Well, they've been putting us through shit
[B] And if you don't sanction that
Then [G] why are you rewarding it?
You [D] know the mission trips are scams
[F#m] They do more harm than good
[B] We got fame-hungry pastors
[G] Making bank in Hollywood
[D] I'm more confused than I've been
[F#m] And I don't think this will pass
[Bm] And I'm saying your name
[G] When I think the plane will crash
[D] What I'd give
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] I wanna fall
[B] But I got [Bm] bruises on [G]
my _ knees
_ What [D] I'd give for just an inch of [F#m] your _ _ peace
_ _ [B] I wanna fall
[Bm] _ I wanna be [G] someone that you'd call
What _ [D] I'd give for just an inch of [F#m] your _ _ [F#] peace
_ _ [B] I wanna fall
But I got [Bm] bruises on [G] my _ _ knees
_ _ [E] What [D] I'd give for just an inch of [F#m]
your _ peace
_ _ [Bm] I wanna fall
I wanna be someone that [G] you'd call
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
