Am               D7                             C

C               D                    D7                          C

C                     D                                  D7
      But all the people that you made in your image,
         D                 D              C
See them starving on their feet,
            Bb                  E7
'Cause they don't get enough to eat,
     Am         Fmaj7  Am
From   ...God---------------,
  D7               Am      Fmaj7  Am  D7

C              D                       D7                    C

C                  D                              D7
      And all the people that you made in your image,
         D               D
See them fighting in the street,
            Bb                  E7
'Cause they can't make opinions meet...
         Am        Fmaj7  Am
...About   ...God---------------,

[Verse 3]
Am              Fmaj7
      Dear God, don't know if you've noticed, but...
Am                     D7                            C
   ...Your name ...is on a lot of quotes in this ...book,
C             D              D7                               C

      And all the people that you made in your image,

I can't believe in...

I don't believe in...
 
[Verse 4]
  Dm
I won't believe in heaven and hell,
   Bb
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well,
   Dm
No pearly gates, no thorny crown,
       Bb
You're always letting us humans down,
    G7
The wars you bring, the babes you drown,
      Bb
Those lost at sea and never found!
 
[Verse 5]
    Dm
And it's the same the whole world 'round,
    Bb
The hurt I see helps to compound...
        G7
...That Father, Son, and Holy Ghost...
      Bb
...Is just somebody's unholy hoax,
     Dm
And, if you're up there, you'd perceive...
        Bb
...That my heart's here upon my sleeve,
   G7                                     A7
If there's one thing I don't believe in...
