Not In This Life

     G
It's cold for early June, but the 
sun is rising fast
          Am
There's a dew up on the quiet hill 
where he lays in the grass
F                                 
Staring up at heaven's gates to 
                          G
see if he can see in Jesus' eyes

[Verse]
G
The woman that he thinks of is still
 lying fast asleep
      Am
As he asks for resolution and prays 
his soul to keep
  F                                
A man of god in love, can't touch a
                            G
 man of god, temptation, sunrise

[Chorus]
                            D   
But it doesn't mean I don't love 
                              G
you, it doesn't mean I don't care
                           D       
It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to 
                            G
run my fingers through your hair
                           D   
It doesn't mean I wouldn't make 
                      G
sweet love to you so right
   F           C           G
It just means, not in this life

[Verse]
G
This has always been the path for 
him since the age of nine or ten
       Am
And if only he remembered now the 
things he knew back then
   F                               
It seemed god had a plan for him, a
                    G
 clear and decisive role

[Verse]
G
But he never would have seen her if 
she hadn't come to pray
       Am
If she didn't need forgiveness, he'd
 be a holy man today
       F                           
If she wasn't so damn beautiful, if
                                G
 her eyes didn't bleed into his soul

[Chorus]
                            D   
But it doesn't mean I don't love 
                              G
you, it doesn't mean I don't care
                           D       
It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to 
                            G
run my fingers through your hair
                           D   
It doesn't mean I wouldn't make 
                      G
sweet love to you so right
   F           C           G
It just means, not in this life

[Bridge]
F              C            G
Dear god, I am sorry for my sins
     F                      
Dear god, I am sorry for the 
 C             G
situation I'm in

[Verse]
G
He'll analyse the burning, the 
tremble in his chest
Am
Falls behind on duties and he's 
sleeping less and less
           F                       
He doesn't pay attention in church,
 he doesn't answer to his name when 
       G
people call

[Verse]
G
He's got himself this apple and it's
 looking so damn good
    Am
But just because he can bite it, it 
doesn't mean he should
   F                               
He lets her know his feelings, Eden
                           G
 is burning and he doesn't care at 
all

[Chorus]
                            D   
But it doesn't mean I don't love 
                              G
you, it doesn't mean I don't care
                           D       
It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to 
                            G
run my fingers through your hair
                           D   
It doesn't mean I wouldn't make 
                      G
sweet love to you so right
   F           C           G
It just means, not in this life

G

[Chorus]
                            D   
But it doesn't mean I don't love 
                              G
you, it doesn't mean I don't care
                           D       
It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to 
                            G
run my fingers through your hair
                           D   
It doesn't mean I wouldn't make 
                      G
sweet love to you so right
   F           C
It just means, not in this
F           C
Just means, not in this
   F           C           G
It just means, not in this life
