 D                G
You make it sound easy,

 D                A7                  D
You say you just hold your hand out, don't you,

         G                   D         A7
You just hold your hand out, don't you.


 D              G
That hope never leaves you,

 D                  A7                   D
'Cos a light shines on that helps you to steer,

 G                   D         D7
Makes everything clear.


         G                       D
(Well it might) Well it might in your world,

         G                         D
(But it doesn't) But it doesn't in mine,

            G                                    D
(I've been stumbling) I've been stumbling in the dark for years,

         Em                 A
And the light just made me blind.


 D                      G
You say it lights every pathway,

 D                   A7                      D
Shows me how to live life for the rest of my days,

 G                 D          D7
For the rest of my days.


       G                         D
(But I can't) But I can't put my faith in,

       G                       D
(Your words) Your words and demands,

      G                  D
(I believe) I believe in God alright,

               Em                     A
It's folk like you that I just can't stand.


 G
You don't have to try and scare me,

 A
To reinforce my faith, sir,

 G
'Cos I know that one day,

 Em          A           D
I'll stand before my maker.


(Instrumental - D G D A7 D G D D7)

            G                       D
(And if I'm found) And if I'm found wanting,

         G                     D
(When my case) When my case is heard,

       G                   D
(It'll be) It'll be by the author,

           Em               A
Not some interpreter of his words.


 D                G
You make it sound easy,

 D               A7                  D
You say you just hold your hand out, don't you,

         G                   D          A7
You just hold your hand out, don't you.


 D              G
That hope never leaves you,

 D                  A7                   D
'Cos a light shines on that helps you to steer,

 G                D         D7
Makes everything clear.


         G                       D
(Well it might) Well it might in your world,

         G                         D
(But it doesn't) But it doesn't in mine,

           G                                     D
(I've been stumbling) I've been stumbling in the dark for years,

        Em                 A
And the light just made me blind.

         Em                 A
Yeah the light just made me blind.
