[D] [G]
[D] [G]
[D] In the gas station bathroom [G] by the condom machine, [D] I heard the word of the [Em] Lord.
[A]
He [D] said, take off your shoes, [G] this is holy ground too.
[A] You know I came for the sick and the [D] bored.
Beneath the selling of beers and [G] the welling up of tears, out [D] beyond the beam of the remote
[A] control, [D] there's a whispering voice that [G] the humble ear hears that [D] says, I am [G] still waiting
for [A] you to ask just to be made [G] whole.
[D]
[G] And the bush it was burning on [D] the mountaintop, [G] and though the leaves never blackened, [A] the
fire didn't stop.
[G] [D] That's the way that [G] it works [Bm] in this old life [E] of sin.
You [D] gotta [G] let the [E] fire [G] burn you just to get clean with it.
[D] [G] I'm
[D] so often [G] deterred from my actual intent [D] by distractions in a [A] cellophane wrap, [D] and
by a cruel voice that taunts me [G] when I open them up.
By [A] just one more box full [D] of crap.
I swear you're mocked while you abstain, and then [G] cursed when you [D] give in.
It's all a game that's impossible [A] to beat.
But [D] there's a peaceful refrain God [G] will sing in your brain when you put the [A] nails to your
[G] hands and your feet.
And the smell of our [D] sacrifices still fills up [E] my head.
[A]
[G] Just a few left at the [D] altar, Lord, all the rest of them [E] fled.
[A]
[G] We've cried and we've tried and [D] we've sweat and we've bled, [E] but we don't just need atonement,
[A] we need to be raised from the dead.
[Em]
[A] [G] When they took down the cross from that [D] dark hillside, [G] the blood on their [Em] hands was the
blood [A] from his side.
[D] That's the way that it [G] works, [Bm] that's the way it must [E] be.
You [D] gotta let his [E] blood stain [Em] you if you [G] wanna get free.
[D]
And [G] when they took down the cross from [D] that dark hillside, [G] the blood on their hands [A] was
the blood from his side.
[D] That's the way that [G] it works, [Bm] that's the way it must [E] be.
You
[G] [D] gotta let his [Bm] blood stain you [A] if you wanna get [G] free.
[D] If you wanna [G] get free, [D] don't you wanna [G] get free?
[D] I think you wanna [G] be free.
