Biography:
The band started in spring of 2006 when Tim and Andrew were on opposite sides of the country talking about potentially working together. Andrew ended up moving from California to Charlottesville, Virginia while Tim was finishing up school at UVA. By then, Luan and Tim were already playing music together and Tim had written and recorded a few solo tracks. So the trio began as "Tim Be Told."
The band has released two LPs (Getting By in 2007 and Humanity in 2011) and an EP (From the Inside in 2009).

[Verse 1]
G C G
Under the steeple we were all God's people
D Em C G
If we loved one another, sisters and brothers
G C G
But then the preacher told me, God loves the straight man only
D Em C G
Straight is the same as holy so saith the Lord
[Chorus]
G C G
Father could you ever love a person like me?
D Em C G
Or did you seal the gates above and throw out the keys
Em C G
You say we are your children if we trust and believe
D Em C G
So God please don't forget about the children like me
[Verse 2]
G C G
While the world was sleeping I'd stay up weeping
D Em C G
Wondering who was the liar, my God or my desire
G C G
If straight means holy then I -- I guess I don't mind lonely
D Em C G
But what if we have this life only, what if I was wrong?
[Verse 3]
G C G
They say I'm ruined, but I'm only human
D Em C G
They say, it could be Satan, but God I'm your creation
G C G
What is and isn't sin, I'll let it go and let you in
D Em C G
All this time I was praying, all this time you were saying...
G C G D
Come lay your burdens down on me
G C G
Come lay your burdens down on me
G C G D
Come lay your burdens down on me
G C G
Come lay your burdens down on me
G C G
Under the steeple we were all God's people
D Em C G
If we loved one another, sisters and brothers
