Chords for Ren - Dear god (Official Lyric Video)

_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] Hello, it's Ren.
_ [Dm] I don't really know how to start this letter.
Fuck it.
[Bb] _
Is this life really what it seems?
[Gm] Cause lately I've been in a place between awake and dreams
I know I [Dm] only reach out to you when I'm feeling blue
I promise I'm not using you, I'm just [G] confused
I've got some questions I would like some [Bb] answers to
Like is there meaning to this state of short existence?
[Gm] My existential thoughts show hope there are cause I'm [Dm] resistant
To thinking that there won't be something better in the distance
And God, is there an afterlife where pain [Bb] is non-existent?
If you're up there God, do you sit [Gm] upon a throne?
Or are you a humble soul wearing sandals and tattered [Dm] clothes?
Do you mingle with the people like an equal then on [D] Sundays?
Just kick back and chill and [Bb] put your feet up
Did I really choose this life that I'm living [Gm] now?
Will my sins be forgiven if I speak [Dm] them out?
I won't lie to you God, if there is a heaven
I really hope I get [Gm] there cause for real it sounds like heaven
[Bb] _ Reading [Gm] past the lines
I [Dm] just look up
_ _ [D] Searching for prophets, my [Bb] faith it is paper thin
So many questions in [Gm] my mind
They replay [Dm] like an echo
_ They [Bb] never stop, my Messiah is porcelain
Dear God, why do people kill each other in your [Gm] name?
Is it really what you want or have we lost [Dm] our way?
Cause it seems like religion can cause division
Or people [A] living in prisons of moral values they're [Bb] given
What is right and what is wrong?
[G] Am I a sinner if I don't comply with everything that Moses said?
Or is [Dm] that dumb?
And why do people disguise hatred in your name?
[Bb] Homophobia, a history of violent wars and causing pain
High priests in the tower stacking [Gm] riches
Women burnt at the stakes called [Dm] witches
In the name of God, Allah, Zeus, Jesus
People [E] claiming lives justified [Bb] by your allegiance
I think it's more complex than good versus evil
[Gm] I think that there's both darkness and light inside [Dm] people
Through different eyes a man called a terrorist
Could be a freedom fighter if he's fighting for the side [Bb] you're with
_ Reading past [Gm] the lines
I [Dm] just let go
_ _ Searching for [Bb] prophets, my faith it is paper thin
So many questions in [Eb] my mind
They replay [Dm] like an echo
_ They [D] never stop, my Messiah is [Bb] porcelain
So is it ignorant to claim that we know what [Gm] you want?
And if I fast for the Sabbath, is that what you [Dm] want?
Or is tradition just superstition?
Religion is human [Bb] vision just crafted out of people's ambition
Listen, I knew a girl that lost a baby before it was [Gm] born
What's the purpose of that God?
What is it [Dm] for?
Why did my best friends die before I hit 25?
Is it cos there's something better in the [Bb] afterlife?
God, I've been feeling suicidal [Gm] lately
Mental health is worsening, it feels like it might [Dm] break me
If you're watching, you know that I've been strong
But God, how much longer do I have to hold [Bb] on?
Please just give me some [Gm] solace
So that I know you've got my back
[Dm] Please just give me some relief
God, is that too much to [Bb] ask? _ _ _ _ _ _
