Capo:no capo

[Intro]
 
C Em Am Fmaj7
 
 
[Verse 1]
        C
I could argue with the best of them about
Em
where we came from
   Am
Convince you over coffee that
Fmaj7
Jesus was God's son
 
 
[Verse 2]
C
Take that empty feeling that
Em
everybody feels
Am
And use it against you 'til
Fmaj7
you were on your heels
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
      G                Am
I was sure as sure can be
      F
I was working for eternity
G                     Am
And there was hell to pay
   F
If you saw it another way
 
 
[Chorus]
             C         G     Am      Em
Now the only thing I'm certain of is that
  F
I ain't certain about much
     C    G     Am         Em
It's easy to be right it's not so
F
easy to choose love
C           G          Am    Em
Sometimes I miss that feeling of
F
having it figured out
        C     G        Am     Em
Have to fight that temptation to know
F
what life's all about
C G Am Em F
Mmm...
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
C Em Am Fmaj
 
 
[Verse 3]
        C
Spent a lot of tim? workin on
Em
my foundation
   Am
Convincing myself that my
Fmaj7
reasons wer? reasoned
 
 
[Verse 4]
C
Trying to sort it out is what
Em
finally did me in
        Am
Guess I threw away the puzzle when
    Fmaj7
the pieces didn't fit
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G         Am
Yes I understand
F
That I'm a broken man
G                      Am
That's why I'm slow to say
F
That I know what God thinks
 
 
[Chorus]
             C         G       Am     Em
Now the only thing I'm certain of is that
  F
I ain't certain about much
     C    G     Am         Em
It's easy to be right it's not so
F
easy to choose love
C           G        Am    Em
Sometimes I miss that feeling of
F
having it figured out
        C     G        Am     Em
Have to fight that temptation to know
F
what life's all about
C G Am Em F
Mmm...
G F
Mmm...
