Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F]
[C][C][F]

[Verse 1]
Well [C]I see him on the TV
[F]Preaching about the promised lands
He [C]tells me "believe in Jesus"
Steals the [F]money from my hands
[C]Some say he was a good man
[C]Lord I think he [F]sinned

[Verse 2]
Yeah yeah
[C]Twenty two years of mental tears
Cries a [F]suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a [C]losing war on a foreign shore
To find his [F]country didn't want him back
Their [C]bullet took his best friend in Saigon
Our lawyers took his [F]wife n kids, no regrets
In a [C]time I don't remember
In a [F]war he can't forget
He cried for[C]give me for what I [Dm]done there
Cause I [Em]never meant the things I [F]did

[Chorus 1]
And give me something to be[C]lieve in
If there's a [F]lord above
And give me something to be[C]lieve in
Oh, [F]Lord arise

[Verse 3]
My [C]best friend died a lonely man
In some [F]Palm Springs hotel room
I [C]got the call last Christmas Eve
And [F]they told me the news
I [C]tried all night not to break down n' cry
As the [F]tears rolled down my face
I [C]felt so cold and empty
Like a [F]lost soul out of place
And the [C]mirror, mirror [Dm]on the wall
Sees my [Em]smile it fades a[F]gain

[Chorus 2]
Uh give me something to be[C]lieve in
If there's a [F]Lord above
Uh give me something to be[C]lieve in
Oh. [F]Lord arise
Sometimes I [C]wish to God I [Dm]didn't know now
[Em]Things I did know [F]then

[Solo 1]
Road you gotta take me home
[G][F][G][F]
[C][F][C][F]
[C][Wh[Dm]ammy [Em]bar][F]

[Verse 4]
I drive by the [C]homeless
sleepin' on a cold dark street
Like [F]bodies in an open grave
[C]Underneath the broken old neon sign
[F]Used to read "Jesus saves"
A [C]mile away live the rich folk
And I [F]see how they're livin' it up
But while the [C]poor they eat
from hand to mouth
The rich are [F]drinkin' from the golden cup
And [C]it just makes me [Dm]wonder
Why so many [Em]lose and so few [F]win

[Chorus 3]
Ha! Give me something to be[C]lieve in
(uh, give me something to be[F]lieve in)
Give me something to be[C]lieve in
If there's a [F]Lord above
Give me something to be[C]lieve in
Oh, [F]Lord arise
Give me something to be[C]lieve in
Oh, [F]Lord arise
Oh, give me something to be[C]lieve in
Oh, [F]Lord arise
Give me something to be[C]lieve in
Oh, [F]Lord arise

[Outro 1]
Yeah, some[C]times I wish I [Dm]didn't know now
[Em]Things I didn't know [F]then
[C][Dm][C][F]
And give me something to be[C]lieve in
