[F] [Dm]
[F] [Dm]
[Fm] Nobody [Eb] ever talks [D] about the way it [Eb] used to be
[F] When tears were on the altar [Bb] from sinners [Eb] on their [Bb] knees
The preacher didn't worry about politically correct
[F] It wasn't [Eb] his opinion, [Dm] it was what that [Eb] Bible said
[Ab] We can try to pick and [Bb] choose, but one size still fits all
[C] There is no brand new high-tech [Cm] way to make the [C] heather cold
It's [F] time to tell it like it was, cause that's the way it is
[Bb] If we want it like they had it, [C] they gotta do it like they did
[Eb] Preaching wrong is [Bb] wrong and right is [Db] right
There is no [F] gray dust, black and [G] white
Took the blood back then, well [Ab] it still [Bb] does
We just [Ab] gotta tell it [F] like it was
[Dm]
[Eb] [F] Is there [Eb] any wonder [Bb] that we're in the [Eb] shape we're in?
[F] The church will [Eb] only say it [Bb] if we're sure it [Eb] won't offend
[Ab] John may have baptized Jesus, [Bb] but he isn't watered down
[C] But there's still the power in his word to turn this world around
It's [F] time to tell it like it was, cause that's the way it is
[Bb] If we want it like they had it, [C] they gotta do it like they did
[Eb] Preaching wrong is [Bb] wrong and right is [Db] right
There is no gray [F] dust, black and white
[G] Took the blood back then, well it [Ab] still [Bb] does
We just [Ab] gotta tell it [F] like it was
[Bb] [F] Oh, it's time to tell it like it was, cause that's the way [Ab] it is
[Bb] If we want it like they had it, [C] they gotta do it like they did
[Eb] Preaching wrong is [Bb] wrong and right is right
[Db] There is no gray [F] dust, black and white
[G] Took the blood back then, well it [Ab] still [Bb] does
We just [Ab] gotta tell it, [Gm] we just [Eb] gotta tell it like [F] it was
[Bb]
[Eb] Tell it [F] like it [Eb] was
We [D] just gotta tell it [F] like it was
