God Hates Facts by Onsind
God Hates Facts
[Intro]
C G C G
[Verse 1]
C G
It’s not divine, it’s not intelligent design,
Em C G C
it’s not the eucharist or your confession time
G
It’s just the path where we depart the most,
the cop, the kid, the Holy Ghost,
Em C G
another scripture scribbled through with lines.
[Chorus]
D Em D
I don’t blame you for needing something to believe,
C
but give me hands that help instead of lips that pray,
G C G
this isn’t judgement day.
[Verse 2]
C G
Your God is real, insofar as the shame he made you feel
Em
has caused a sadness
C G
that you’re scared to leave behind
C G
Self-loathing in your bones, no hope for rolling back the stone,
Em C G
you found mythology could ease your muddled mind.
[Chorus]
D Em D
I don’t blame you for needing something to believe,
C
but give me hands that help instead of lips that pray,
G C G
this isn’t judgement day.
[Instrumental]
C G Em C G D Em D C G
C G
[Bridge]
G
A phonecall at the break of dawn
A pain you’ve never felt before
Em
Bad news in a soothing voice
G
Another bloody lousy choice
Queue behind an old acquaintance
Pay the price for your impatience
Em
Make eye contact as you leave
G
Wiping tears with your sleeve.
G
It’s sweaty palms on your big day
Forgot the psalm the preacher sang
Em
Lose another awkward fight
G
Then read the book of Job by candlelight
Skimmed over the obituaries
Typos in the prophecy
Em
These vineyards smell like cemeteries
G
But there’s no such thing as booze for free.
Em
Superstition or religion
G
in the church where you were christened
Em
eyeing the collection tin
G
Be sure to put your coppers in
C
Politics and economics
D
The nervous ticks of an alcoholic
C
Waster in his father’s suit
D
The rotting flesh of the forbidden fruit.
Em
Meet me at the reservoir
D
The world got smaller, things got harder
C
Say a toast to an absent friend
Then tell yourself you’ll make amends
Em
Then lie again and say you’re fine
D
Your breath smells like Communion wine
C
There’s nothing left round here for you
So do what you’re supposed to do.
Em
And meet meat the reservoir
D C
Your plans were scuppered from the very start
Em
The world got smaller, things got harder
D C
A fading light; another broken heart
G
So come and meet me at the reservoir.
[Outro]
D Em D
I don’t blame you for needing something to believe,
C
in fact we all put faith in things we can’t explain
Em D C
The way a funeral seems more poignant in the rain
Em D C
But give me hands that help instead of lips that pray,
G
this isn’t judgment day.
