Poison - Something to believe in
E
Well I see him on the tv
Asus2
Preachin' 'bout the promised land
E
He tells me to believe in jesus
Asus2
And steals the money from my hand
E
Some say he was a good man
Asus2
But lord I think he sinned, yeah
E
Twenty-two years of mental tears
Asus2
Cries a suicidal vietnam vet
E
Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
Asus2
To find his country didn't want him back
E
Their bullets took his best friend in saigon
Asus2
Our lawyers took his wife and kids, no regrets
E
In a time I don't remember
Asus2
In a war he can't forget
E F#m
He cried forgive me for what I've done there
G#m A
Cause I never meant the things I did
Chorus:
E
And give me something to believe in
Asus2
If there's a lord above
E
And give me something to believe in
Asus2
Oh, lord arise
E
My best friend died a lonely man
Asus2
In some palm springs hotel room
E
I got the call last Christmas eve
Asus2
And they told me the news
E
I tried all night not to break down and cry
Asus2
As the tears rolled down my face
E
I felt so cold and empty
Asus2
Like a lost soul out of place
E F#m
And the mirror, mirror on the wall
G#m A
Sees my smile it fades again
Chorus:
E
And give me something to believe in
Asus2
If there's a lord above
E
And give me something to believe in
Asus2
Oh, lord arise
E F#m
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
G#m A
The things I didn't know then
Road you gotta take me home
{Solo}
E
I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street
Asus2
Like bodies in an open grave
E
Underneath the broken old neon sign
Asus2
That used to read jesus saves
E
A mile away live the rich folks
Asus2
And I see how they're living it up
E
While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
Asus2
The rich is drinkin' from a golden cup
E F#m
And it just makes me wonder
G#m A
Why so many lose, so few win
Chorus:
E
And give me something to believe in
Asus2
If there's a lord above
E
And give me something to believe in
Asus2
Oh, lord arise
E
You take the high road
Asus2
And I'll take the low road
E F#m
Yeah Sometimes I wish I didn't know now
G#m A
The things I didn't know then
E
And give me something to believe in
