[Intro]
(Spoken)
N.C
When I return, I will simply write a short story for my revenge
N.C
About this town, these people, these gamblers
[Verse 1]
D F#m
The first song I learned spoke of Bethlehem
Bm G
So is that prophecy or is that brainwashing?
D F#m
Cause no one ever pitched the Greek gods
Bm
And I don’t know why not
G
I think that Athena’d understand me
D A
When my chips have fallen
Bm G
My messiah came calling
D F#m
But what if he’d not?
Bm G
Would my soul just rot?
[Chorus]
D F#m
Oh what I’d give for just an inch of your peace
Bm Gmaj7 G
Cause I wanna fall but I’ve got bruises on my knees
D F#m
Oh what I’d give for just an inch of your peace
Bm
Cause I wanna fall
G
I wanna be someone that you’d call
[Verse 2]
D A
My dad’s never cursed in his life
Bm G
I asked if he smoked, he said ‘Twice’
D F#m
Well, by that standard I’m a goddamn failure
Bm G
I passed blunts the day I married my wife
D F#m
But I’m a child of God, just in case you forgot
Bm G
And you cast me out every single chance that you got
D
And that’s your loss, not mine
F#m
I’ll be better than fine
Bm G
You just missed your shot to meet the unholy divine
[Verse 3]
D
I’m saying ‘Fuck a saviour’
F#m
And if she can’t take it then she’s small
Bm
I’m gonna ask a lot of questions
G
Because I’m giving this my all
D
You know the people preach now
F#m
Well they’d be putting us through shit
Bm G
And if you don’t sanction that then why are you rewarding it?
[Verse 4]
D
You know the mission trips are scams
F#m
They do more harm than good
Bm
We got fame hungry pastors
G
Making bank in Hollywood
D
I’m more confused than I’ve been
F#m
And I don’t think this will pass
Bm
And I’m saying your name
G
When I think the plane will crash
[Chorus]
D F#m
What I’d give (for just an inch of your peace)
Bm Gmaj7 G
Cause I wanna fall but I’ve got bruises on my knees
D F#m
Oh what I’d give for just an inch of your peace
Bm
Cause I wanna fall
G
I wanna be someone that you’d call
D F#m
What I’d give (for just an inch of your peace)
Bm Gmaj7 G
Cause I wanna fall but I’ve got bruises on my knees
D F#m
What I’d give for just an inch of your peace
Bm
Cause I wanna fall
G
I wanna be someone that you’d call
