[C]
They love me for being honest.
They love me [G] for being [C] myself.
But the minute I mention Jesus,
They want me [G] to go [F] to hell.
[C] And it's hard to find the balance
When I [G] don't believe in [C] one.
When you mix art with business,
You're just shooting [G] an empty [F] gun.
[Am] You're just a songwriter, [C] you ain't a preacher.
[F] We [C] came to mourn you, [G] not to look in the mirror.
[Am] Sing about those hard times, [C] sing about those [F] women.
We [C] love the broken, [G] not the [C] forgiven.
[Am] [G] [C]
And these songs will only take me
As far as [G] the people [C] will go.
If I can't make them happy,
Well then they [G] won't come to [F] my shows.
[C] Maybe that's what killed
All [Am] the great [G] voices in [C] the world.
Always bleeding for every line,
But no one was bleeding [G] in [F] return.
[Am] You're just a [F] songwriter, you [C] ain't a preacher.
[F] We [C] came to mourn [G] you, not to look in the [Am] mirror.
Sing about those hard [F] times, sing [C] about those women.
[F] We [C] love the [G] broken, not the forgiven.

[Am] Sing about hard [F] times, sing [C] about those women.
[F] We [C] love the broken, [G] not the forgiven.
