B F#sus
Will it be different now or the same?
G#m7sus F#sus
Will I have learned anything?
D#m7 /A# F# F#/A#
Or was it just a way to spend a day or two
E/B F#/A# B
Set aside for thinking thoughts about You?
F# /E E /F# /G#
If that's all it was I had a good time
Refrain:
B F# G#m F#
But that won't be enough for me, not this year not anytime soon
B F# B F# B
I have got to clean house, gotta make my bed, gotta clear my head
E
It's getting kind of stuffy in here, smells sorta funky too
Like monkeys at the zoo
B F# B F#
I have been a whoring after things cause I wanna feel safe inside
B
That's a big fat lie
E
No amount of green, gold or silver
B
Will ever take the place of the peace of God
B /E /D# B E
Spirit come flush the lies out
B /E /D# B
Spirit come flush the lies out
VAMP
Will it be different now or the same? Have I changed at all?
And if you were to dive deep inside my soul would you find Jesus there
Or a gaping hole?
Should I be content with my beautiful Christian life?
REFRAIN
I have been a whoring after things cause I wanna get everything right
That's a big fat lie
E
No amount of green, gold or silver, the perfect body, another hot toddy
Work for the Lord, fame & power, power and sex
B A
A seat at a table at the Belle Meade Country Club
E/G# E B /E /D#
Here's the rub: nothing will ever take the place of the peace of God
Spirit come flush the lies out
Spirit come flush the lies out
VAMP (2x)
B F#sus
Will it be different now or the same?
E/G# B
Will I have learned anything?
