[Verse]
     G
It's cold for early June, but the sun is rising fast

          Am
There's a dew up on the quiet hill where he lays in the grass

F                                                           G
Staring up at heaven's gates to see if he can see in Jesus' eyes
[Verse]
G
The woman that he thinks of is still lying fast asleep

      Am
As he asks for resolution and prays his soul to keep

  F                                                            G
A man of god in love, can't touch a man of god, temptation, sunrise
[Chorus]
                            D                                 G
But it doesn't mean I don't love you, it doesn't mean I don't care

                           D                                   G
It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to run my fingers through your hair

                           D                         G
It doesn't mean I wouldn't make sweet love to you so right

   F           C           G
It just means, not in this life
[Verse]
G
This has always been the path for him since the age of nine or ten

       Am
And if only he remembered now the things he knew back then

   F                                                   G
It seemed god had a plan for him, a clear and decisive role
[Verse]
G
But he never would have seen her if she hadn't come to pray

       Am
If she didn't need forgiveness, he'd be a holy man today

       F                                                           G
If she wasn't so damn beautiful, if her eyes didn't bleed into his soul
[Chorus]
                            D                                 G
But it doesn't mean I don't love you, it doesn't mean I don't care

                           D                                   G
It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to run my fingers through your hair

                           D                         G
It doesn't mean I wouldn't make sweet love to you so right

   F           C           G
It just means, not in this life
[Bridge]
F              C            G
Dear god, I am sorry for my sins

     F                       C             G
Dear god, I am sorry for the situation I'm in
[Verse]
G
He'll analyse the burning, the tremble in his chest

Am
Falls behind on duties and he's sleeping less and less

           F                                                                  G
He doesn't pay attention in church, he doesn't answer to his name when people call
[Verse]
G
He's got himself this apple and it's looking so damn good

    Am
But just because he can bite it, it doesn't mean he should

   F                                                          G
He lets her know his feelings, Eden is burning and he doesn't care at all
[Chorus]
                            D                                 G
But it doesn't mean I don't love you, it doesn't mean I don't care

                           D                                   G
It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to run my fingers through your hair

                           D                         G
It doesn't mean I wouldn't make sweet love to you so right

   F           C           G
It just means, not in this life
[Bridge]

                            D                                 G
But it doesn't mean I don't love you, it doesn't mean I don't care

                           D                                   G
It doesn't mean I wouldn't love to run my fingers through your hair

                           D                         G
It doesn't mean I wouldn't make sweet love to you so right

   F           C
It just means, not in this

F           C
Just means, not in this

   F           C           G
It just means, not in this life
[Outro]
