I feel that I should be heard loud and clear We all need a big reduction in amount of tears And all the people that you made in your image See them fighting in the street 'Cause they can't make opinions meet About God,

C D (2nd time thru) <bridge> bypass Am thing and go to C riff Dear God, don't know if you've noticed but... Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book And us crazy humans wrote it you should take a look And all the people that you made in your image Still believing that junk is true Well I know it ain't, and so do you, dear God I can't believe in I don't believe in

  Am/F#
I won't believe in heaven and hell

No saints, no sinners, no devil as well

  Dm
No pearly gates, no thorny crown

You're always letting us humans down

The wars you bring, the babes you drown

  Bb
Those lost at sea and never found

  Dm
And it's the same the whole world 'round

  Bb
The hurt I see helps to compound

  G
That Father, Son and Holy Ghost

  Bb
Is just somebody's unholy hoax

  Dm
And if you're up there you'd perceive

  Bb
That my heart's here upon my sleeve

  G                                     A
