The Coming by Jesca Hoop
The Coming
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
E A
Jesus turned in his crown of thorns today
E
And announced to the Earth and the heavens
A
The end of his reign
E
He took a seat next to the Devil and said
A
"I need a new name"
C#m A
And the coming never came
[Verse 1]
E
My whole life
A
I fervently served him and obeyed
E
And I walked through this world full of sinners
A
And I kept them at bay
E
'Cause there's only enough room at his table
A
For the souls that are saved
C#m A
And they're coming to shut the gate
C#m A
You're too little and too late
C#m A
And you can't get in on that name
A
But I don't buy it
B C#m A
I refuse to think that my best friend is going to Hell anymore
B
And condescend to offer her a key to her salvation
C#m A
Like it's something I have and can afford
B
And I won't blame my parents for clinging to the good word
C#m A
In hopes that it makes sense of it all
B
And believing in a story like it was the Bible
C#m A
When it was just a tale made tall
[Bridge]
E
Hey ya
C#m
Hey ya
A
Hey ya
[Verse 2]
E A
Now I wake up to the most spirit-rattling scare
E A
As I'm losing my religion, layer by layer
E
'Cause it's triggering all of the trip lines
A
Of the traps and the snares
C#m A
It's that old device called fear
C#m A
That old device called fear
[Verse 3]
E A
Now it's the long ride through the unknown which I embrace
E
And the cops and the robbers
A
And the cowboys and the Indians have got the same face
E A
We just each of us doing our best to get by day by day
C#m A
And Heaven is yours to take
C#m A
And our choices day by day
C#m A
Bring us closer or further away
[Verse 4]
B
I understood the risk that asking any kind of question
C#m A
Could unravel me with one small fray
B
But I looked in my closet filled with ignorance, intolerance
C#m A
And a fear that was turning to hate
B
But that is not the meaning or intention of the teaching
C#m A
Or the truth from which the message came
B
And I can't turn a blind eye to centuries of conflict
C#m A
And wrongdoing in his name
C#m
In his name
In his name
[Bridge]
E
Hey ya
C#m
Hey ya
A
Hey ya
[Outro]

And announced to the Earth and the heavens
