Lyrics

[Intro]
| Am Fmaj7 | C6/G Am/F# | Am Fmaj7 | C6/G Am/F# |

[Verse 1]
Am          Fmaj7
  Dear God, hope you got the letter and
C6/G       Am/F#                       C    C/G#
    I pray you  can make it better down here
        D7sus2           D9/F#                    C C/G#
I don't mean  a big reduction in the price of beer
            D7sus2                        D9/F#
But all the people that you made in your image
         D                     Dsus2/C
See them starving on their feet
           A#                     E    Am   Fmaj7
Cause they don't get enough to eat from  God
C6/G
  Am/F#           Am   Fmaj7 C6/G Am/F#
I can't believe in  you

[Verse 2]
Am          Fmaj7
  Dear God, sorry to disturb you but
C6/G       Am/F#                          C     C/G#
    I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
       D7sus2           D9/F#            C     C/G#
We all need  a big reduction in amount of tears
            D7sus2                       D9/F#
And all the people that you made in your image
         D                     Dsus2/C
See them fighting in the street
           A#                      E     Am   Fmaj7
Cause they can't make opinions meet about  God
C6/G  Am/F#           Am   Fmaj7 C6/G Am/F#
    I can't believe in  you

[Bridge]
F                             C       G
 Did you make disease and the diamond blue?
C G
F                           Em7/D         C#dim C E Am Fmaj7
 Did you make mankind after we   made you?
C6/G Am/F#         Am    Fmaj7
     And  the devil  too!
C6/G Am/F# C C/G# D7sus2 D9/F# C C/G#
D7sus2 D9/F# D Dsus2/C A# E

[Verse 3]
Am
  Dear God,
Fmaj7
don't know if you noticed but
C6/G             Am/F#                       C    C/G#
    Your name is on   a lot of quotes in this book
       D7sus2            D9/F#
And us crazy humans wrote     it,
                      C C/G#
you should take a look
            D7sus2                       D9/F#
And all the people that you made in your image
        D                    Dsus2/C
Still believing that junk is true   
       A#
Well I know it ain't, and so do you,
E    Am   Fmaj7
 dear  God
C6/G  Am/F#           Am Fmaj7
    I can't believe in
C6/G  Am/F#          Am Fmaj7
    I don't beieve in

[Verse 4]
C6/G  Dm
    I won't believe in Heaven and Hell
   Bbmaj7/D
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
   Dm
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
       Bbmaj7/D
You're always letting us humans down
    G
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
    Bbmaj7/D
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
     Bbmaj7/D
That my      heart's here upon my sleeve
   G
If there's one thing I don't believe in

[Outro]
A     Dsus2 Dsus2/Bb Dsus2/C Asus4/F Asus4/G E7sus4
 It's you  
     D
Dear God
