Fora while I walked           in the ways of Jesus 
          Eb Ebsus4 Eb             Bb Bbsus2 Ab 
Served me well          enough it seems 
           Eb    Eb7            Ab Ab/Bb Abm/B 
Come to find    Jesus doesnt need us 
      Eb   Ab       Eb       Bb    Eb Ebsus4 Eb 
To be any more than we need him to be

I've heard talk           like they knew about heaven 
          Eb Ebsus4 Eb                Bb Bbsus2 Ab 
I can't help            but seed the seams 
              Eb                  Eb7                Ab Ab/Bb Abm/B 
And we could pull that thread and make two cloths to clean us 
        Eb     Ab     Eb       Bb       Eb Ebsus4 Eb 
So all that I know is all Ill tell to thee

           Eb Ebsus4 Eb                   Eb Ebsus4 Eb 
I was at war            with that wild religion 
          Eb Ebsus4 Eb               Bb Bbsus2 Ab 
And it revealed            itself to me 
                    Eb            Eb7              Ab Ab/Bb Abm/B 
And it slapped me sore enough to make some good decisions 
        Eb       Ab       Eb       Bb       Eb Ebsus4 Eb 
Give me ears to hear and eyes by which to see 



                     Eb Ebsus4 Eb 
Oh, and I had heard talk (I heard talk) 
                Eb Ebsus4 Eb 
'Bout a hell beneath us (Hell beneath us) 
       Eb Ebsus4 Eb 
Fires burn (Fires burn) 
          Bb Bbsus2 Ab 
For eternity (Eternity) 
           Eb                  Eb7           Ab    Ab/Bb Abm/B 
But were all just dust for those around to see us 
        Eb     Ab      Eb     Bb     Eb Ebsus4 Eb 
So all that I know is all I tell to be
