The Forgiven

C/G C/G Am G C/G C/G

[Verse 1]
C/G             Fm      C/G     
They love me for being honest 
    Am           G    C/G
they love me for being myself
C/G               Fm      C/G   
But the minute I mention Jesus 
    Am         G      F
they want me to go to hell
C/G              Fm        C/G  
And its hard to find the balance
      Am        G        C/G
 when I don't believe in one
C/G           Fm        C/G
When you mix art with business 
               Am           G     F
you're just shooting an empty gun

[Chorus]
Am                        F      
You're just a songwriter you 
     C
ain't a preacher
F           C         G
we came to mourn you not to look in 
the mirror
Am                           F   
Sing about those hard times sing 
              C
about those women

[Verse 2]
C/G                  Fm   C/G   
And these songs will only take 
     Am         G           C/G
me as far as the people will go
C/G        Fm        C/G        
If I can't make them happy well 
     Am         G          F
then they won't come to my shows
C/G   Fm         C/G            
Maybe thats what killed all the 
Am           G      C/G
great voices in the world
C/G                 Fm    C/G   
Always bleeding for every line 
              Am       G  F
but no one was bleeding in return oh

[Chorus]
Am                        F      
You're just a songwriter you 
     C
ain't a preacher
F           C         G
we came to mourn you not to look in 
the mirror
Am                           F   
Sing about those hard times sing 
              C
about those women
F            C      G
We love the broken not the forgiven
