_ _ _ But I always loved about Jesus, _ _ _ what I love about Jesus is _ love.
_ God is love.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ A lot of
God is unknowable, _ ineffable.
_ [Eb] One thing we [Bbm] know is God is not hate. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
This is a song about _ _ _ _
_ people who _ recreate God in their own image.
_ _ Tiny, pathetic, _ _ _ you know the kind of people
I'm talking about. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Osama Bin Laden might be one of those kind of people. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] But you know
I'm [Bbm] kind of one of those kind of people too.
_ _ Honestly, _ _ _ [Ebm]
shrinking [Bbm] God all the time. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So this
is a song written about some religious nuts, political fanatics [Gb] that we grew up around
in [Bbm] Ireland. _
Now you're living with here in the United States, _ _ the fear of. _ _ _ _
_ _ So you never
[Ab] knew love _ _ until [Eb] you crossed [Gb] the line of grace.
[Bbm] _ And you never felt [Ab] wanted _ until someone [Gb] slapped
your face.
[Bbm] _ And you never felt [Ab] alive _ [Eb] until you almost [Gb] wasted away.
[Bbm] You had to win.
You
couldn't just pass [Ebm] the smartest ass [Gb] at the top of the class.
[Bbm] You fly in colors, your
family tree, [Ebm] all your lessons [Gb] in history.
_ [Bbm] Please, _ _ [Ab] _ please, _ [Eb] _ please [Gb] get up [Ab] off your knees [Bbm] now.
_ [Ab] Please,
please, _ [Eb] _ _ please [Gb] leave [Ab] it.
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So you [Ab] never knew what was on the ground [Gb] until you made them crawl.
[Bbm] _ _ You
never [Ab] knew how [Eb] low it stood [Gb] to make that call.
[Bbm] _ So you never knew [Ab]
that the [Eb] heaven you keep, [Gb] you stole.
[Bbm] Your Catholic blues, your convent shoes, [Ebm] your stick-on tattoos, [Gb] never making
news.
[Bbm] Your holy war, [Ab] your Northern [Bbm]
star, [Ebm] your sermon on the mount, [Gb] the boot of your car.
[Bbm] Please, _ _ [Ab] _ _
please, [Eb] _ please [Gb] get up [Ab] off your knees [Bbm] now.
Please, [Ab] _ please, _ [Eb] _ please _ [Gb] leave [Ab] it.
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ September streets [Cm] capsizing, _ [Ab] spilling over [Eb] _ [Bbm] down drain. _
Shards of glass splinters like [Eb] rain.
But you can only feel [Bbm] your own pain.
_ October,
so [Eb] getting nowhere. _
_ [Bbm] November, _ _ [Fm] December. _
[Eb] _ Remember, _ [Bbm] is it starting again?
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Eb] Please, _ _ [Gb] get up off your knees [Bbm] now.
Please, _ [Ab] please, _
_ [Eb] _ please _ [Gb] show me [Ab] the sign.
[Bbm] And love [Ab] is _ bigger [Ebm] _ _ than [Gb] us. _
[Bbm] And love is [Ab] not what [Ebm] you think.
_ _ _ [Gb] _
It's what [Bbm] lovers deal.
It's what [Ab] lovers steal.
You know I found [Eb] it hard to [Gb] receive. _
But [Bbm] you know _ I [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ could [Ebm] never _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ believe. _ _ _
