[Verse 1]
Dm F G
My mind is clearer now at last all too well
F G Dm
I can see where we all soon will be
F G
If you strip away the myth from the man
F G Dm
You will see where we all soon will be
Em
Jesus! You've started to believe the things they say of you
F G Dm
You really do believe this talk of God is true
Em
And all the good you've done will soon be swept away
F G Dm
You've begun to matter more than the things you say
Dm Dm Dmaddb9 Dm7 Dm (x4)
[Verse 2]
Dm F F6 F
Listen Jesus I don't like what I see
Dm Dm7 Dm G Gadd4 G
All I ask is that you listen to me
Bb Bbmaj7 Bb C Cadd9 C F A A7sus4
And remember I've been your right hand man all along
Dm Bb Bbmaj7 Bb
You have set them all on fire
F F6 F F6 F
They think they've found the new Messiah
Dm A7sus4 Bbmaj7 Dm7
And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong
[Verse 3]
Dm F F6 F
I remember when this whole thing began
Dm Dm7 Dm G Gadd4 G
No talk of God then, we called you a man
Bb Bbmaj7 Bb C Cadd9 C F A
And believe me my admiration for you hasn't died
A7sus4 Dm Bb Bbmaj7 Bb
But every word you say today
F F6 F F6 F
Gets twisted 'round some other way
Dm A7sus4 Bbmaj7 Dm7
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied
[Bridge] (7/8)
Bb F Gm Dm
Nazareth's most famous son should have stayed a great unknown
Gm Dm A Dm
Like his father carving wood He'd have made good
Bb F Gm Dm
Tables, chairs and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best
Gm Dm A Dm
He'd have caused nobody harm no one alarm
[Verse 4]
Dm Dm7 Dm F F6 F
Listen Jesus, do you care for your race?
Dm Dm7 Dm G Gadd4 G
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
Bb Bbmaj7 Bb C Cadd9 C F A A7sus4
We are occupied have you forgotten how put down we are?
Dm Bb Bbmaj7 Bb
I am frightened by the crowd
F F6 F F6 F
For we are getting much too loud
Dm A7sus4 Bbmaj7
And they'll crush us if we go too far
Dm Bb Dm7
if we go too far
[Bridge instrumental] (7/8)

[Outro]
Dm Dsus2 F Fmaj7
Listen Jesus to the warning I give
Dm Dm7 G Gadd4
Please remember that I want us to live
Bb C F Fsus4 A7sus4 A
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with ev'ry hour
Dm Bb
All your followers are blind
F
Too much heaven on their minds
Dm A7sus4 Bbmaj7
It was beautiful, but now it's sour
Dm Bb Dm7
Yes it's all gone sour
Bb Dm
oh oh oh oh oho, oh oh oh oh oho
Bb Dm
Listen Jesus to the warning I give
Bb Dm
Please remember that I want us to live
Bb Dm Bb
so, c'mon, c'mon he won't listen to me, aaah
Dm Bb
haaa...oh
Dm Bb
come on listen, listen to me
Dm Bb
come on and listen to me, aaah
Dm Bb
haaa...oh-oh-ooh
Dm Bb Dm
come on listen to me, come on listen, listen to me ... (fade out)
