Dm F G
My mind is clearer now at last all too well
F G Dm
I can see where we all soon will be
Dm F G
If you strip away the myth from the man
F G Dm
You will see where we all soon will be
Dm Em
Jesus! You've started to believe the things they say of you
F G Dm
You really do believe this talk of God is true
Dm Em
And all the good you've done will soon be swept away
F G Dm
You've begun to matter more than the things you say
[Verse 1]
Dm F
Listen Jesus I don't like what I see
Dm G
All I ask is that you listen to me
Bb C F A
And remember I've been your right hand man all along
Dm Bb
You have set them all on fire
F
They think they've found the new Messiah
D/A A Bb Dm7
And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong
[Verse 2]
Dm F
I remember when this whole thing began
Dm G
No talk of God then, we called you a man
Bb C F A
And believe me my admiration for you hasn't died
Dm Bb
But every word you say today
F
Gets twisted 'round some other way
D/A A Bb Dm7
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied
[Bridge]
Bb F Gm Dm
Nazareth's most famous son should have stayed a great unknown
Gm Dm/A A Dm
Like his father carving wood He'd have made good
Bb F Gm Dm
Tables, chairs and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best
Gm Dm/A A Dm
He'd have caused nobody harm No one alarm
[Verse 3]
Dm F
Listen Jesus, do you care for your race?
Dm G
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
Bb C F A
We are occupied have you forgotten how put down we are?
Dm Bb
I am frightened by the crowd
F
For we are getting much too loud
Dm/A A Bb
And they'll crush us if we go too far
Dm7
If we go too far
[Verse 4]
Dm F
Listen Jesus to the warning I give
Dm G
Please remember that I want us to live
Bb C F A
But it's sad to see our chances weakening with ev'ry hour
Dm Bb
All your followers are blind
F
Too much heaven on their minds
Dm/A A Bb
It was beautiful, but now it's sour
Dm Bbmaj7 Dm
