A E B D

1st Verse:

A           E               B        D 
I found the Holy Bible on a bench outside the courthouse
A        E                B               D 
and I am scared because I do not think of God, no
    A             E
The thoughts that cross my mind
    B             D 
are neither holy, nor divine,
     A            E                B            D   A       E B 
just simple human longings for the boy who does not believe
   D                A  E B D 
he once believed in me

A           E                   B              D 
So I walked on and stuffed that heavy new book under my arm
A                 E          B        D 
and then I got in my car and drove on home
A            E            
I thought of words he said
      B                            D 
'bout where we're going once we're dead
    A             E
but other worries fill my head
     B             D        A     E B 
It's selfish and I know I'm wrong
         D                  A    E B D
but I'll miss him when he's gone

Chorus:

D
Yeah I still fear the black
A
 but there's no looking back
E
 and if I'm dying, I'm just dying for you, dear
D
Can't tell which way to go
A
 I doubt we'll ever know
E                                                    D (pause)
 Let's take advantage of the time that we've got here

'Cause time's all we've got here

Interlude:

A E B D

2nd Verse:

A         E                  B                     D
I made it home, unlocked the door, and tossed that book onto the floor
A            E                B               D
where it sat waiting like I'm waiting for the truth, so
A             E            B                   D
I put it in a box under my bed, with all those silly things I've kept
A          E              B                D        A  E B
and I will leave it there unread, so I can get back to
         D                A E     B           D
figuring out how I'll get through today and tomorrow

Chorus:

D
Yeah I still fear the black
A
 but there's no looking back
E
 and if I'm dying, I'm just dying for you, dear
D
Can't tell which way to go
A
 I doubt we'll ever know
E                                                    D
 Let's take advantage of the time that we've got here

'Cause time's all we've got here

Interlude:

A E B D

Bridge:

                       D                           A
And if it's just gonna end, what's the point of it all
        E
Call it quits, cut out early, this is surely your fault
D                        A
When I fall back to you, I am through, I am through
D
Oh but I do, I do, I do

Chorus:

D
Yeah I still fear the black
A
 but there's no looking back
E
 and if I'm dying, I'm just dying for you, dear
D
Can't tell which way to go
A
 I doubt we'll ever know
E                                                    D (pause)
 Let's take advantage of the time that we've got here
                                 A (hold)
'Cause time's all we've got here
