[Verse 1]
C
He never said he had a type
F
But man does he love them broken
C
Grown by the law
F
Young in the mind
C F
When the bell rang, I wish I stayed in the schoolyard
C F
You leaned across me and pressed down the lock from inside the car
[Chorus]
Am
G
Do you believe
[Verse 2]
C F
A man of the lord wouldn't run from the church
C
Condemned by agnostics
F
So you enlist hurt
C
When the sun set
F
I wish I stayed in confession
C F
Admitting your sins to a sinner who might just pray for intercession
[Chorus]
Am
Evangeline
G
Do you believe
Am
In everything
G
I helped you see
[Bridge]
Am F
I stood for one thing and you stood when I tried to leave
Am F
Claimed you were breaking my chains so how come I never felt free
Am F
I'm no skeptic but you made me doubt all the good I knew
Am F
With your cardboard cross that you lugged around town and displayed as some self
righteous proof
Am F
I'll turn the lock and run out of the basement
C G
So cold and so dark and so deadly adjacent
Am F
To four prison walls that you made me call home
C
And when I get my way
G
They will turn to your own
Am F
Let the wicked you raised
C G
Drag you beneath the gray
Am
Is it fire or ice
F
Send a postcard from Hades
C E
How does it feel to know you could not save
[Chorus]
Am
Evangeline
G
Do you believe
Am
In everything
G
I helped you see
[Verse 3]
C F
I made it out but only by the skin of my teeth
C
So I'll leave you to rot with your corrupted god
F
And your sick sense of identity
C F
When the bell rings I'll watch the lot for your mustang
C
Catch the girls before you can and
F
Redirect them another way
[Chorus]
Am
Evangeline
G
Do you believe
F
I'm asking
Am
Evangeline
