Dear God Chords by Dax

[Ebm] _ _ [Gb] I just want to make this clear.
[Db] _
_ I am a [Ab] believer.
_ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ But sometimes it [Gb] gets hard.
_ _ _ [Db] _
My name's Tavis.
[Ab] _ Thank you God.
[Ebm] _
Dear God, [Gb] there's a lot of questions that I have about the past.
[Db] And I don't want to hear it from a human.
You made it [Ab] so you're the last person that I'm ever gonna ask.
[Ebm] Tell me what's real.
Tell me what's fake.
[Gb] Why is everything about you a debate?
[Db] What's the point of love?
Every time I showed it [Ab] I was broken and it forced me just to only want to hate.
[Ebm] Why is there only one you but multiple religions?
[Gb] Why does every conversation end in a division?
[Db] Why does everybody want to tell us how to live but they [Ab] won't listen to the same damn message that they give us?
[Ebm] Tell me how to feel.
Tell me what's wrong.
[Gb] I tried to call, pick up the phone, [Db] come on my own.
Everybody says you [Ab] coming back to man, why the hell is it taking so long?
[Ebm] Why do I hurt?
Why is there pain?
[Gb] Why does everything good always have to change?
[Db] Why does everybody try to profit off another [Ab] man's work then destroy it just for monetary gain?
[Ebm] Tell me are you black or are you white?
I don't even [Gb] really care.
I just really want to know what's right.
They've [Db] been saying one thing but I've been looking in the book.
[Ab] And it seems like they've been lying for my whole damn life.
[Ebm] Tell me where I'm going.
Where?
Is it heaven or [Gb] hell?
I just hope this message reach you well.
Had [Db] a dream that I was walking with the devil.
Don't remember how [Ab] it feels but I swear that I remember the smell.
Looked [Ebm] me right into my eye and told me everything I wanted could [Gb] be mine if I gave up and decided to sell.
But [Db] I said I'd rather die than get mine.
Now I'm here.
[Ab] No fear, one man with a story to tell.
Dear [Ebm] God, where were you when I needed it?
When I [Gb] fucked up and repeated it?
When they set the bar and I [Db] exceeded it?
My life is like a book that they've been judging by [Ab] a cover but I've never took the time to fucking read the shit.
[Ebm] I remember telling you my goals and my dreams but [Gb] you didn't even answer so I guess you didn't believe in it.
[Db] I remember sitting with a gun to my head trying [Ab] to ask you for some help but I guess you didn't believe in it.
[Ebm] I don't want religion, I need that spirituality.
[Gb] I don't want a church, I need people to call a family.
[Db] I don't want to tell my sins to another sinner just [Ab] because he's got a role when you went to some academy.
[Ebm] I don't want to read it in a book, I want to hear it from [Gb] you.
Don't want to learn it in my school because they hiding the [Db] truth.
Don't want to talk about it to another fucking human [Ab] being and that's the only reason that I even sit in this [Ebm] booth.
Dear God, how [Gb] do I take this darkness and turn it into light?
[Db] How do I believe in a concept where I speak to [Ab] a man I've never seen with my own two eyes?
[Ebm] How do I know that religion wasn't made just to [Gb] separate the world and create a whole disguise just to [Db] keep us in these chains
while the rich get richer and the [Ab] poor pray to you and perpetuate a lie?
[Ebm] How do I know this ain't some big joke?
How [Gb] can I have faith when there is no hope?
How the [Db] hell does one man have a hundred billion dollars and we [Ab] still have people on the street that are broke?
[Ebm] There's a lot of things I want to talk about and get off my [Gb] chest.
I can't sleep because the devil won't let me [Db] rest.
I used to know a fucking pastor in a church and I can still hear the [Abm] screams of the kids he will fucking [Ebm] molest.
Dear God!
_ _ [Gb] _ _ I'm [Db] supposed to fear you but you ain't said shit.
So [Ab] maybe it's you who actually fears me.
[Ebm] I don't know the answer I just want to see it clearly.
[Gb] So many lies and a thousand different theories.
[Db] All I want to know is who really made religion?
Because I [Ab] know it wasn't you but don't nobody believe me.
[Ebm] No more lies, no more death.
[Gb] Bring back King, bring back X.
[Db] Please dear God let their souls protect [Ab] who's left and [Bb] watch their steps.
[Ebm] Dear God!
_ _ [Gb] I have to ask you again.
I just [Db] hope that you know that I'm still a [Ab] believer.
So I'll end this all by [Ebm] saying Amen.
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ It's tax.
