I Prefer Your Love
[INTRO]
B F#
I, I prefer your love
A E
To Jesus
B A
Little baby on your knees
G#m F# E
'Cause the world has got you down
[VERSE 1]
F#
Name-tagged tourists, sick at the sight of them
Bbm
Tight-walking the sidewalk in spite of them
G#m D#m C#
As my headache moves from east to west

Mother, won't you open your arms and
Bbm
Forgive me of all these bad thoughts?

I'm blinded to the faces in the fog
[PRE-CHORUS]

But all the good in me is because of you
It's true

[VERSE 2]
F#
King-sized country wearing your worries out
Bbm
Headless heroes heaped by the pylons
G#m D#m C#
As a careless sun sets on the West
F#
Sure as mother licking her finger
Bbm
To wipe the blush and smudge from my cheek
G#m D#m C#
And wonder what will become of your little one
[PRE-CHORUS]
A C# A
But all the good in me is because of you
It's true
[CHORUS]

Repeat as necessary. Instrumental section is the same chords as the verse.
I'm sure this isn't the way Annie would play it but it sounds damn good when I'm strumming
along on my acoustic to have those high Bs and Es ringing out.
I prefer your love to Jesus
Little baby on your knees cause the world has got you down
Name-tagged tourists, sick at the sight of them
Tight-walking the sidewalk in spite of them
As my headache moves from east to west
Mother, won't you open your arms and forgive me of all these
Bad thoughts I'm blinded to the faces in the fog
But all the good in me is because of you
It's true
I prefer your love to Jesus
I prefer your love to Jesus
Little baby on your knees cause the world has got you down
King-sized country wearing your worries out
Headless heroes heaped by the pylons
As a careless sun sets on the West
Sure as mother licking her finger to wipe the blush and
Smudge from my cheek and wonder what will become of
Your little one
But all the good in me is because of you
It's true I prefer your love to Jesus
I prefer your love to Jesus
