Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x2

  Jesus, Jesus, could you tell me what the problem is

  With the world and all the people in it?

  Because I’ve been hearing stories about the end of the world

  But I’m in love with a girl and I don’t wanna leave her

  And the television screams such hideous things

  They’re talking about the war on the radio

  They say the whole thing’s gonna blow

  And we will all be left alone

  No we’ll be dead and we won’t know what hit us

Jesus, Jesus, if you’re up there won’t you hear me

‘Cause I’ve been wondering if you’re listening for quite a while

And Jesus, Jesus, it’s such a pretty place we live in

And I know we f*cked it up, please be kind

Don’t let us go out like the dinosaurs

Or blown to bits in a third world war

There are a hundred different things I’d still like to do

I’d like to climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower

Look up from the ground at a meteor shower

And maybe even raise a family

Jesus, Jesus, there are those that say they love you

But they have treated me so damn mean

And I know you said ‘forgive them for they know not what they do’

But sometimes I think they do

And I think about you

If all the heathens burn in hell, do all their children burn as well?

What about the Muslims and the gays and the unwed mothers?

What about me and all my friends?

Are we all sinners if we sin?

Does it even matter in the end if we’re unhappy?

  Jesus, Jesus, I’m still looking for answers

  Though I know that I won’t find them here tonight

  But Jesus, Jesus, could you call me if you have the time?

  And maybe we could meet for coffee and work it out

  And maybe then I’ll understand what it’s all about
