I woke up thinking: God is real, but against us. Pray for what you don't want. Reverse theology.
A E
I'll pray for freedom, because no matter how much I'll tell you how much I want it,
D A (A)
I'm still getting led around by a cigarette
E D A
or anger or fear. Take your pick, I don't give a shit.
A E D A
And I wish it weren't true, but to get free we have to start with what's true I think.
[Chorus]
A E D A
And if I have to tell you that what's real is terrible, maybe you're in the wrong place.
A E D A
If I have to tell you that what's true is terrible, maybe you're in the wrong place.
A E D A
A E D A
Because I've done horrible things to wonderful people. I've let horrible people stay living.
A E D A
I've looked my family in the eye and told them: "Leave me to die, or I'll make you sorry you didn't."
A E D A
I've stolen from people who didn't deserve. I've not helped people who did.
A E D A
I've turned away when I knew I made a mistake instead of dealing with it.
A E D A
I've wasted good chances I've had in this life that other people won't even get.
A E D A
I put off setting things right with Andy, and now he's dead.
A E D A
A E D A
But if we can stay one inch this side of dying, the most terrible things we can imagine can happen,
A E D A
and our breath will carry us forward when we don't have the strength to carry ourselves.
A E D A
And we'll get another chance at not spreading misery, at least for today.
A E D A
If I have to tell you that we are beautiful, maybe you're in the right place.
[Chorus]
A E D A
If I ever forget that we are beautiful, I hope you're here to remind me.
A E D A
If I have to tell you that we are beautiful, I hope you'll stick around until you can see it.
