In Vain

by James and the Shame

343
[Verse 1]
G
There's quite a few things you don’t seem to mind
 G
I'm trying to figure out just where you draw the line
        C
'Cause watching people die seems to be fine
     D                        D7
But god forbid a nipple or a Jesus Christ
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
I sorta understand it took me quite a bit
G
Before I’d let an oh my god exit from my lips
    C
But maybe that commandment about using the Lord's name
D                      D7
Is about a lot more than what you say
 
 
[Chorus 1]
C                G
So much done in Jesus' name
Em                   Am
Seems to me to be a god damn shame
C                G
Are you sure the savior came
Em                          Am
So the righteous would all vote the same
Am                          D             G
Tell me who's the one using his name in vain
 
 
[Verse 3]
G
Nothing rallies the troops like a building campaign
G
Or gathering to worship with a rockstar on the stage
C
Or traveling cross the ocean with life saving supplies
D                                            D7
So brown people will know they worship the devil in disguise
 
 
[Chorus 2]
C                G
So much done in Jesus' name
Em                  Am
Seems to me to be a god damn shame
C                 G
Are you sure the savior came
Em                         Am
To help your team win a football game
Am                          D                  G
Tell me who's the one using his name in vain
 
 
[Chorus 3]
C                 G
So much done in Jesus' name
Em                  Am
Seems to me to be a god damn shame
C                G
Are you sure the savior came
Em                          Am
To pledge allegiance to the USA
Em                            Am
So you could find the perfect parking space
Em                    Am
To help decide that supreme court case
C                           D            G
Tell me who's the one using his name in vain
C                           D            G
Tell me who’s the one using his name in vain
