Plastic Jesus by High Valley
verse 1
E
Bouncin' on the dashboard
A E
Boppin' to the beat
To every bump in the road
B7 E
Every hole in the street
Bought him at the Walmart
A E
Got 'em on sale
The last one sittin'
B7 E
on the dusty shelf
A E
It's just a tiny figurine...
B7 E
But are we missin' what it means...
[Refrão]E
We got crosses on our necks
A E
And Bibles in hand
When the sun comes up
B7 E
We make our own plans
Pull Him out when we need Him
A E
Put Him back when we're done
That ain't no way to
B7 E
treat God's only Son...
If we only wanna hear Him
A E
When His word will please us
Then we might as well be prayin'
B7 E
to a Plastic Jesus
verse 2
E
Ol' Miss Jackson
A E
At the end of the block
She built her life
B7 E
Upon that rock
Everyday of the week
A E
She walks that walk
And when she goes to speak
B7 E
The spirit talks
It do us some good
A E
to heed that warning
It ain't just about
B7 E
Sunday morning
(Chorus)
Bridge
E A
Lord, knows we'd be better off
E B7
If we could just surrender all...
(Chorus)
