[Intro]
(Spoken)
N.C
When I return, I will simply write a short story for my revenge
N.C
About this town, these people, these gamblers
[Verse 1]
D F#m
The first song I learned spoke of Bethlehem
Bm G
So is that prophecy or is that brainwashing?
D F#m
Cause no one ever pitched the Greek gods
Bm
And I don't know why not
G
I think that Athena'd understand me
D A
When my chips have fallen
Bm G
My messiah came calling
D F#m
But what if he'd not?
Bm G
Would my soul just rot?
[Chorus]
D F#m
Oh what I'd give for just an inch of your peace
Bm Gmaj7 G
Cause I wanna fall but I've got bruises on my knees
D F#m
Oh what I'd give for just an inch of your peace
Bm
Cause I wanna fall
G
I wanna be someone that you'd call
[Verse 2]
D A
My dad's never cursed in his life
Bm G
I asked if he smoked, he said 'Twice'
D F#m
Well, by that standard I'm a goddamn failure
Bm G
I passed blunts the day I married my wife
D F#m
But I'm a child of God, just in case you forgot
Bm G
And you cast me out every single chance that you got
D
And that's your loss, not mine
F#m
I'll be better than fine
Bm G
You just missed your shot to meet the unholy divine
[Verse 3]
D
I'm saying 'Fuck a saviour'
F#m
And if she can't take it then she's small
Bm
I'm gonna ask a lot of questions
G
Because I'm giving this my all
D
You know the people preach now
F#m
Well they'd be putting us through shit
Bm G
And if you don't sanction that then why are you rewarding it?
[Verse 4]
D
You know the mission trips are scams
F#m
They do more harm than good
Bm
We got fame hungry pastors
G
Making bank in Hollywood
D
I'm more confused than I've been
F#m
And I don't think this will pass
Bm
And I'm saying your name
G
When I think the plane will crash
[Chorus]
D F#m
What I'd give (for just an inch of your peace)
Bm Gmaj7 G
Cause I wanna fall but I've got bruises on my knees
D F#m
Oh what I'd give for just an inch of your peace
Bm
Cause I wanna fall
G
I wanna be someone that you'd call
D F#m
What I'd give (for just an inch of your peace)
Bm Gmaj7 G
Cause I wanna fall but I've got bruises on my knees
D F#m
What I'd give for just an inch of your peace
Bm
Cause I wanna fall
G
I wanna be someone that you'd call

when i return, i will simply write a short story for my revenge
about this town, these people, these gamblers
the first song i learned spoke of bethlehem
so is that prophecy or is that brainwashing?
cause no one ever pitched the greek gods
and i don’t know why not
i think that athena’d understand me
when my chips have fallen
my messiah came calling
but what if he’d not?
would my soul just rot?
oh what i’d give for just an inch of your peace
cause i wanna fall but i’ve got bruises on my knees
oh what i’d give for just an inch of your peace
cause i wanna fall
i wanna be someone that you’d call
my dad’s never cursed in his life
i asked if he smoked, he said ‘twice’
well, by that standard i’m a godd+mn failure
i passed blunts the day i married my wife
but i’m a child of god, just in case you forgot
and you cast me out every single chance that you got
and that’s your loss, not mine
i’ll be better than fine
you just missed your shot to meet the unholy divine
i’m saying ‘f+ck a saviour’
and if she can’t take it then she’s small
i’m gonna ask a lot of questions
because i’m giving this my all
you know the people preach now
well they’d be putting us through sh+t
