Bad Religion Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[E5][D5][G5][D5]

[Verse 1]
As [E5]long as I remember
I was left all by [D5]myself
[E5]When trouble crossed my
way I stood [B]alone[G5]
My [E5]old man hit the bottle
My mom was running [D5]scared
The [E5]old forgotten prayers

[Verse 2]
turned to stone
[E5][G5]
[E5]I'm sear[C5]ching for identity[D5]
I [C5]don't show [E5]who I a[F#m]m
[C5]The [G5]past has cast a shad
[A5]ow over me
[B]

[Verse 3]
Like a [E5]bad r[A5]eligion
[E5]The only[G5] one I know
I [C5]never had no shelter
Never [E5]had [B]a place to go
A bad [D5]reli[E5]gion[A5]
[E5]My l[G5]ife is make- believe
Bad reli[C5]gion
[B]I'm beggin' for relief

[Interlude 1]
[B][E5]
[D5][E5][D5][E5][B][G5]
[A5]

[Verse 4]
I [E5]tried to break the circle
To break the vicious spell
But the past is always heavy
on my [G5]mind
[E5]I'm dancing with the devil
A dangerous romance

[Verse 5]
A daring way to leave it all behind
[E5][G5]
I'm [C5]searching for iden[D5]tity
I [E5]don't know who I [F#m]am[D]
The [C5]past has [G5]cast a [A5]shadow [D5]over [A5]me
[B]

[Verse 6]
Like a bad [E5]religion[A5]
[E5]The only[G5] one I know
I [C5]never had no shelter
never [B]had a place to go
A bad [D5]reli[E5]gion
My [G5]life is make- believe
Bad reli[E5]gion
[C5]

[Interlude 2]
[E5][B][Bb][E5][G5][E5][Em][E5][G5][E5][F#m]
[B][F#m][B][F#m]
[B][F#m][F#][F#m][B][F#][B]

[Verse 7]
I [C#5]need someone to talk to
Someone to understand
I need a friend to lend a helping [B]hand
I'm gonna [C#5]pull myself together
Shed this battered skin
I'm ready for the challenge
This [B]loser's out to win

[Interlude 3]
[A5][F#m][B][F#m][A5][B][F#m][B][F#m][B]

[C5][B]

[Verse 8]
[B]Like a bad [A5]relig[E5]ion[A5]
The [G5]only one I know
I [C5]never had no shelter
Never [B]had a place to go
A bad [G5]reli[E5]gion[A5]
My [G5]life is make- believe
Bad reli[C5]gion
[C]I'm[C5] beggin' [B]for relief,
