Rick Springfield – Religion Of The Heart (Guitar)

             C            G
His hair was bible black, face like a priest,

    F                                C           G
his fingers clutched the precious box and silent as a dream,

   F                              C                G
He hid behind his dark sunglasses. You caught your breath.

    F                       C                     G
You thought he was beautiful. You didn't hear his silent scream,

F
As he spread the dead man's ashes.

G                     C
Your always trying to find your worth

                       F
in the eyes of someone new.

G           Am                     Bb                F
You may not think you need this baby but I think you do

                         C   G    F             C
You need religion of the heart, religion of the heart

              C      G F
(deep in your system)

                             C    G
You're just searching in the dark

      Bb          C
For a reason to believe

    G      F
You need religion of the heart

    C                     G
You raise your glass, you drink their wine,

    F
But you're still thirsty all the time,

C       G          F
No miracles tonite, and you'll skip the midnight masses.

C         G        F
It'll be OK in the cool clear, bright light of the day,

C            G
But you just seem so scattered,

F
as though nothing mattered baby.

G                       C                               F
You're always trying to heal yourself in someone else's skin

G                    Am                Bb          F
Turn the thieves out of the temple baby and let it in

                         C   G    F             C
You need religion of the heart, religion of the heart

              C      G F
(deep in your system)

                             C    G
You're just searching in the dark

      Bb          C
For a reason to believe

    G      F
You need religion of the heart

Bb             C              Bb                           C
You think that I am only joking, that it all comes down to nothing,

Bb                                 Am
Yeah, and I'm just talking to your fear but I 'm not,

        G                         F
No, I'm not, and you stand in the field of fire

                         C   G    F             C
You need religion of the heart, religion of the heart
