[Verse 1]
B
She was the hell
E B
The only hell her mama ever raised
E B
In the heat of the September haze
F#
In the cold suburban sprawl
B
She kissed my eyes
E B
She kissed my eyes awake
E B
She taught me focus and taught me how to praise
F#
Like some holy Adderall
E
I come when she calls
[Verse 2]

B
We were so high
E B
Throwing money in the offering plate
E B
For a second we set the shaking straight
F#
By that fountain at the mall
E
I come when she calls
[Chorus]
B F# E
If Jesus loves me now
B E F#
Can he save my little sermon somehow
G#m E
Because I found a little promised land
B F# E
And I’m reaching out to take her hand and drown
F#m
If Jesus loves me now

B
She used to hang
E B
She used to hang him on a chain around her throat
E B
Like a promissory note
F#
Like a bible in a drawer
B
She would stay closed
E B
So heaven help me to turn her into clay
E B
Make us stay on our knees Jesus help us pray
F#
Make her come when I call
E
Make her come when I call
F#
She always came when you called
[Chorus]

If Jesus loves me now
