Am G  Dm C  Dm C  E7
 
Verse:
Am                   G                           Dm
   You swear, he comes with every evening
      C                    Dm
But itʼs the first Iʼve seen him
                 C               E7
Keeps his morals on a key ring
                              Am
His intentions up his nose
          G                   Dm
Done everything to meet him
      C                       Dm
You centered all your leanings
          C                       E7
Still it feels like no oneʼs listening
                                                 Am
You can hear it in their undertones
 
Pre-chorus:
  C                      Dm
I wish we could depart
            C               Dm
Under mysterious circumstances
             C                  E7
Put the lipstick on my tongue, girl
                  Am E7 Am F  Am G  F
Youʼll be fine
 
Chorus:
                    Am
And there are no
G                      D
Atheists in the foxholes
                 Am
And that I know!
   G                            D
We used to carve the same tree
              Am   G
And I Am sure!
               D
But this is gospel
              Am
And I Am sure!
        C                  Dm
The choirʼs gonna kill me!

Am G D x4
 
Verse:
Am                G                Dm        C
  I swear Iʼve eaten all my egg whites
                              Dm
And still you give me stage fright
                   C                         E7
You know it feels like thereʼs a guidebook
                                       Am
That everyone can read but I
                                          Dm
ʼCause when you say "Come closer"
        C                       Dm
You really mean "Itʼs over"
               C                            E7
With your room-temperature mimosa
                              Dm
You forgot to chug tonight
 
Pre-chorus:
     C                Dm
I wonder if itʼs fun
           C               Dm
To be emotionally bankrupt
         C             E7
You take it as it comes, god
                  Am E7 Am F  Am G  F
Youʼll be fine
 
Chorus:
                    Am
And there are no
G                      D
Atheists in the foxholes
                 Am
And that I know!
   G                            D
We used to carve the same tree
              Am   G
And I Am sure!
               D
But this is gospel
              Am
And I Am sure!
        C                  Dm
The choirʼs gonna kill me!
Oh
 
Outro:
  Am         G
Gotta get away, away
              D
The fire, away
Put the light out, and pray
                 Am
Itʼs gonna kill me!
                  G                       D
A ghost for hire, to pray for a liar
A killer, a killer
                     Am
Is gonna kill me.
                        G
My God, your God
                     D
Is gonna kill me
My God, your God
                  Am
Is gonna kill me
                      G
My God, your God
                  D
Is gonna kill me
Oh, you could riot
