Something to believe in

E Well I see him on the tv Asus2 Preachin? ?bout the promised land E He tells me to believe in jesus Asus2 And steals the money from my hand E F#m Some say he was a good man G#m Asus2 But lord I think he sinned, yeah E Twenty-two years of mental tears Asus2 Cries a suicidal vietnam vet E Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore Asus2 To find his country didn?t want him back E Their bullets took his best friend in saigon Asus2 Our lawyers took his wife and kids, no regrets E In a time I don?t remember Asus2 In a war he can?t forget E F#m He cried forgive me for what I?ve done there G#m A Cause I never meant the things I did Chorus: E And give me something to believe in Asus2 If there?s a lord above E And give me something to believe in Asus2 Oh, lord arise E My best friend died a lonely man Asus2 In some palm springs hotel room E I got the call last christmas eve Asus2 And they told me the news E I tried all night not to break down and cry Asus2 As the tears rolled down my face E I felt so cold and empty Asus2 Like a lost soul out of place E F#m And the mirror, mirror on the wall G#m A Sees my smile it fades again {Chorus} E F#m Sometimes I wish to God I didn?t know now G#m A The things I didn?t know then Road you gotta take me home {Solo} E I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street Asus2 Like bodies in an open grave E Underneath the broken old neon sign Asus2 That used to read jesus saves E A mile away live the rich folks Asus2 And I see how they?re living it up E While the poor they eat from hand to mouth Asus2 The rich is drinkin? from a golden cup E And it just makes me wonder F#m G#m A Why so many lose, so few win {Chorus} You take the high road And I?ll take the low road E F#m Yeah Sometimes I wish I didn?t know now G#m A The things I didn?t know then E And give me something to believe in
