Something To Believe In

     D                   G/D
Well I see him on the TV preaching 
'bout the promised land
   D                           
He tells me to believe in Jesus 
            G/D
steals the money from my hand
D                     G/D  D    
Some say he was a good man lord 
           G/D
I think he sinned
D                              
Twenty two years of mental tears 
          G/D
cries a suicidal Vietnam vet


[Verse 2]

             D                     
Who fought a losing war on a 
                    G/D
foriegn shore to find his country 
didn't want him back
      D                            
Their bullets took his best friend 
                               G/D
in Saigon our lawyers took his wife 
and kids no regrets
     D                          
In a time I don't remember in a war 
G/D
he can't forget
          D                        
He cried "Forgive me for what I've 
Em                  D/F#
done there cause I never meant the
         G
things I did


[Chorus]

N.C.                      D
And give me something to believe in
             G/D
If there's a lord above
                         D
Give me something to believe in
   G/D
Oh lord arise

[Verse 3]

   D                               
My best friend died a lonley man in
      G/D
 some Palm Springs motel room
  D                              
I got the call last Christmas Eve 
         G/D
and they told me the news
  D                                
I tried all night not to break down
                G/D
 and cry as the tears rolled down my
 face
  D                             
I felt so cold and empty like a lost
G/D
 soul out of place
    D             Em              
And mirror mirror on the wall see 
   D/F#           G
my smile it fades again


[Chorus]

N.C.                      D
And give me something to believe in
             G/D
If there's a lord above
                     D
Give me something to believe in
   G/D
Oh lord arise


[Interlude]

G           D             Em    
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't
          D/F#                 G
 know now things I didn't know then

[Verse 4]

               D                   
I drive by the homeless sleeping on
                           G/D
 the cold dark street like bodies in
 an open grave
D                                 
Underneath the broken old neon 
       G/D
sign that used to read "Jesus Saves"
  D                                
A mile away live the rich folks and
   G/D
 I see how they livin' it up
          D                        
While the poor they eatin' from 
                    D
hand to mouth the rich drinkin' from
 a golden cup
D                    Em          
And it just makes me wonder why 
       D/F#            G
so many lose and so few win
N.C.                   D
And give me something to believe in
             G/D
If there's a lord above
                         D
Give me something to believe in
   G/D
Oh lord arise

know now things I didn't know then
