Tom: G
G
[Verse 1]
G C G
I was on my knees again
Em C G
Begging for my ways to change
C G D Em
But the truth I uncovered, the pressure I'm under
C D
To please you has gone away
[Verse 2]
G C G
You're a temptress, you're to blame
Em C G
For the guilt I can't displace
C G D Em
Though there's winters and summers, and so much has changed
C D
You're the fortress for my shame
[Chorus]
C G D Em
I was born in the shadows of preachers and saints
C G D
I was raised in a house of God
C G D Em
But the blood on my lips and the dirt on my face
C D Em
Is all the religion I've got
C D G
Is all the religion I've got
[Post-Chorus]
C G D
Oh, oh, ohh, oh, oh
C G D
Oh, oh, ohh, oh, oh
C G D Em
Oh, oh, ohh, oh, oh, oh
C D G
Is all the religion I've got
[Verse 3]
G C G
I was lost inside her arms
Em C G
Trying to climb my way back out
C G D Em
But it ain't what you got or the buildings you bought
C D
That'll save you from the sound
[Verse 4]
G C G
She's a needy harlequin
Em C G
Built by greed and selfish men
C G D Em
Though it's easy to love her for all you discover
C D
She's bound to fall again
[Chorus]
C G D Em
I was born in the shadows of preachers and saints
C G D
I was raised in a house of God
C G D Em
But the blood on my lips and the dirt on my face
C D Em
Is all the religion I've got
C D G
Is all the religion I've got
[Post-Chorus]
C G D
Oh, oh, ohh, oh, oh
C G D
Oh, oh, ohh, oh, oh
C G D Em
Oh, oh, ohh, oh, oh, oh
C D G
Is all the religion I've got
