Using My Name

       E        Asus2   E
You're using My Name in vain
         G#m       Asus2          
For your power and for your 
   E   Emaj7
personal gain
           G#m               Asus2
For your advantage, for your 
               E   Emaj7
wealth and for your fame
       Asus2    Bsus4   E
You're using My Name in vain


[Verse 1]
    Asus2                      
The wealthy got their place of 
Bsus4
prominence at your feasts
        G#m                   
On your committees and on your 
             A
boards of directors
              A                  
How can you defend your cultural 
Bsus4
dominance
But not the least of these in your 
G#m                       A
cities and in your public sectors?


[Chorus]
       A        Bsus4  B
You're using My Name
       Asus2    Bsus4   E
You're using My Name in vain

[Verse 2]
            G#m                   
Your public prayers I abhor in My 
Asus2
ears
            Bsus4        B
They have become a strain
              G#m                  
Because you ignore the poor in 
  Asus2
their fears
               Bsus4        B
And thе exiled in their pain
             G#m                   
Bеcause you adore and you defend 
           Asus2
the lustful, pride
The bribes and the lies of the 
Bsus4
arrogant
B                             G#m
You've joined that tribe and aligned
 your brand
           Asus2                 
With the unkind in the land, it's 
    Bsus4            B
not Me you represent


[Chorus]
        Asus2    Bsus4   E
You are using My Name in vain


[Verse 3]
         Asus2                     
For your rights and privilege, you 
      Bsus4
trade prophetic witness
     G#m                           
For economy and prosperity, you 
    A
have betrayed me with your kisses
     A                             
When justice is in famine, and when
 Bsus4
 righteousness is starved
               G#m                 
You bow to the alters of mammon and
     A
 the monuments of mars
   A                               
My eyes are filled with fire, in my
 Bsus4
 hand I hold seven stars
             G#m                   
You pledge allegiance to this land,
            A
 but not My country from afar
              A                    
You pound new nails into My hands, 
               Bsus4
you're ripping open up My scars
             C#m7             
With My Name plastered on your 
                    G#m/D#
billboards and the bumpers of your 
cars
        A                       
On your bios, city halls, and on 
      Bsus4
your paper currency
               G#m
But you really trust in bombs and 
barriers
         A
For your comfort and security


[Chorus]
        A        Bsus4  B
You are using My Name
       A        Bsus4  B
You're using My Name
       A        Bsus4   A   E/G# 
You're using My Name in vain
 F#m  E
