Ritt Momney – If The Book Doesnt Sell chords

[Intro]
G                 G                Bm     More so than me, She knows my name
              F                     CAnd more so than me, Understands this pain
             G                    BmI'm either too lost, Or not lost enough
            F                          CI think I'm too smart, For this type of love
              G                        BmI wasn't sent off, But straight to the ground
              F                     C  n.c.And I know God best, Is one with no crown


[Verse 1]
                   GDon't know why the past affects me in this way
                      BmDon't know where I'll go if I leave here today
              FBut I know my limits and you're not the type
               CTo be fooling around in this way
                                  GNo reason you're here but there's reasons to stay
                            BmNot as easy to know as it's easy to say
                           F'Cause to my family and my friends I can't think of one thing
      CThat I gain


[Bridge]
             GBut more for me
         BmAnd more for me
   FMore
       CFor me


[Verse 2]
GAge 14 at midnight I hear voices from the kitchen
  BmI let my feet follow the sound as I let my ears listen
  FI walk upstairs and at the kitchen table I can see
            CThat God is sitting with the Devil, sharing drinks and old stories
               GThe floorboard creaks a red embarrassment floods all throughout God's face
               BmHe swears that it's not what it looks like, then he swears he can explain
          FThe Devil speaks, "Your God and I put all our differences to rest
            CNow man's actions are his own, but man will blame us nonetheless"
          GThe Devil stands, he grabs his keys and straightens out a rusted crown
            BmHe tells me, "Hell is frozen over, Heaven burned down to the ground
             FAnd you have only got one life, so do with it what you would like
         CWe solemnly apologize but we won't be there when you die"


[Chorus]
            GAnd I stand cold and alone, in a body that won't move
F#mWatching the eyes of these gods that I once knew
FOne pair looks down in a half-hearted lie while the
COther looks straight into mine with a whole truth
GLacking the fear I've been told that God deserves
F#mI say, "What good is a prayer that goes unheard"
FHe says, "What hope could they find in a book
       CIf the book doesn't sell and the pages stay unturned"


[Instrumental]
G   Bm


[Verse 3]
    FAnd with a wink, the Devil turns and exits the back door
           CAnd God is standing there in silence with his eyes glued to the floor
            GBut then he speaks "I am no savior but I give them what they need
              BmAnd there has never been a dreamer who prefers reality
            FThe war for truth is raging on but it's not one you have to fight
          CAnd if it is the truth you want, then it is hope you'll sacrifice
              GIt's yours to choose,
            BmAnd you can choose
FThis is not the way I am, this is just how I was raised
    CSo let me make up my own mind, let me map out my own way
    GAnd to the parents of the kids with tongues down in their throats
           BmBecause of tears that you will cry if they don't stick to what they know
                FI'm sure you're giving it your best, and I am sure it takes a toll
            CBut whether God given or not, our lives are not to be controlled
            GJust let us choose
