A
So I sing a song, To reel ’em in
D
It’s a song I’ve sung before
A
and a song I’m gonna sing again
D
I mean every word
A
I don’t mean a single one of them
E
G
D
A
Oh Lord, make me pure – but not yet
A
Tell a joke, Tell it twice
D
A
If no one else is laughing then why am I
D
A
I split my sides both times and laugh until I cry
E
G
D
A
Oh Lord, please make me pure, but not yet
A
I don’t have to try, I just dialing in
D
A
Never found a job that for me was worth bothering
D
I got a ton of selfish genes
A
and lazy bones beneath this skin
E
G
D
A
Oh Lord, make me pure – but not yet
A
Smoking kills, Sex sells
D
I’ve got one hand in my pocket
A
but the other one looks cool as hell
D
A
I know I’m gonna die so my revenge is living well
E
G
D
A
Oh Lord, make me pure – but not yet
F
C
I stopped praying
Dm
F
So I hope this song will do
G
E
I wrote it all for you
F
C
Dm
F
I’m not perfect but you don’t mind that, do you?
G
E
I know you’re there to pull me through, aren’t you?
A
So I look for love, I like the search
D
And I’ll be standing for election
A
all across the known universe
D
A
Every president get the country she deserves
E
G
D
A
Oh Lord, make me pure – but not yet
A
And I’ve been seeing, Somebody’s wife
D
She said she’d leave him for me
A
and I said that wasn’t wise
D
A
You can’t lie to a liar because of all the lies
E
G
D
A
Oh Lord, please make me pure – but not yet
C
D
E
G
F
Dm
