Something To Believe In

     D                   G
Well I see him on the TV preaching 
'bout the promised land
   D                           
He tells me to believe in Jesus 
            G
steals the money from my hand
D                     G    D    
Some say he was a good man lord 
           G
I think he sinned
D                              
Twenty two years of mental tears 
          G
cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
             D                     
Who fought a losing war on a 
                    G
foriegn shore to find his country 
didn't want him back
      D                            
Their bullets took his best friend 
                               G
in Saigon our lawyers took his wife 
and kids no regrets
     D                          G
In a time I don't remember in a war 
he can't forget
          D                        
He cried "Forgive me for what I've 
G                  D
done there cause I never meant the
         G
things I did

[Chorus]
(no chord)                   D
And give me something to believe in
             G
If there's a lord above
                         D
Give me something to believe in

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

[Chorus]
(no chord)                   D
And give me something to believe in
             G
If there's a lord above
                         D
Give me something to believe in
   G
Oh lord arise

[Bridge]
            D             G       
        D
G
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't 
know now things I didn't know then

(this is where the solo break is. I 
dont' know the solo...sorry)

[Verse 3]
               D                   
I drive by the homeless sleeping on
                           G
 the cold dark street like bodies in
 an open grave
D                                 
Underneath the broken old neon 
       G
sign that used to read "Jesus Saves"
  D                                
A mile away live the rich folks and
   G
 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                      G         
And it just makes me wonder why 
       D               G
so many lose and so few win

[Chorus]
(no chord)                   D
And give me something to believe in
             G
If there's a lord above
                         D
Give me something to believe in
   G
Oh lord arise
            D             G       
        D
G
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't 
know now things I didn't know then
And give me something to believe in
