[Verse]
F C
There was a popup revival on the edge of town
G Am
People came from miles to see what was going down
F C
They said the Holy Ghost would knock you to the ground
G
And I wanted to feel God reaching out
F C
So when it came my turn the preacher took me by the shoulder
G Am
Put his hand on my chest, tried to knock me over
F C
And I swear I believed but I didn't lock my knees
G
Was the only one left standing wondering what was wrong with me
[Chorus]
F C G
Yeah I've always been a little cynical
F C G
They say I've got a skeptical nature
F C G
Doesn't mean I'm not hopeful
F C G
Just means that I'm a cautious believer
Am F C
And it's the craziest thing, after all I've seen
G Am F
Well I still want to believe
F C E Am
Yeah that Holy Ghost keeps haunting me
F C G C
That Holy Ghost keeps haunting me
[Verse]
F C
Well it's another headline, it's another disaster
G Am
Another fall from grace from some mega pastor
F C
The person who taught you about your Savior
G
Breaking down sooner or later
F C
And maybe that's just divine irony
G Am
As you try to see the forest for the trees
F C
That through crooked teeth the gospels preached
G
And maybe there's hope for someone like me
[Chorus]
F C G
Yeah I've always been a little cynical
F C G
They say I've got a skeptical nature
F C G
Doesn't mean I'm not hopeful
F C G
Just means that I'm a cautious believer
Am F C
And it's the craziest thing, after all I've seen
G Am F
Well I still want to believe
F C E Am
Yeah that Holy Ghost keeps haunting me
F C G C
That Holy Ghost keeps haunting me
