Becoming Secular Chords

(ver. 1)
Dave Hause
Tuning is every string full step down, so D-G-C-F-A-D
But I will use the standard names for the chords.
Chords used: Fm, E, A, D
Listen to the song to get strumming and timing right!

Intro: Fm, E, Fm, D, A, Fm, A, Fm, E

                         Fm
They tried to keep their arms 'round us
                    A 
They told us it was free
                       Fm
Their coffee and their crucifixions burned
                      E    D                  
Put scars on both our knees
                      Fm
That wishful drinking summer
                            A
So sweet and sinful you and me
                    Fm 
Rolling 'round your parents hardwood floor
                        E            D
Getting high out in the heat you and me

         E                  Fm
You were lonely and I had a song
     D               A
They told you we did wrong
       D                  A                 E
And we hung there on that cross in your old room

Fm                         
   I lost faith you were trying to believe (x2)
E   
   I lost faith you were trying to believe
           Fm                       D      A  Fm A Fm E
I play the memory in my head like a symphony

                   Fm
I tried to keep my arms 'round you
                     A
In the end it wasn't me
             Fm
The pharmacy receipt with shaky hands
                     E    D
Was all you'd really need

                  Fm
To scare you into praying
                     A
To put your heart in retreat
                   Fm
All that faith and fear came racing back
                    E     D
Brought you to your knees

       E                Fm
It was lonely but I got along
D                    A
Singing these ragged songs
     D               A             E      
But lately I've been at a loss for words

Fm
  Lost faith but I'm trying to believe (x2)

E   
   I lost faith but I'm trying to believe
           Fm                       D        A  
I play the memory in my head like a symphony

A          E   Fm D 
  Hey-heyeiee
 
          E               Fm
When it's lonely I'll get along
D                    A             
Singing these ragged songs
  D              A          E      E
I pray you don't confuse my words - my words

A
  I lost faith but I'm trying to believe (x2)

E   
   I lost faith but I'm trying to believe
           Fm                       D          
I play the memory in my head like a symphony

A
  I lost faith but I'm trying to believe (x2)

E   
   I lost faith but I'm trying to believe
           Fm                       D        
I play the memory in my head like a 

      A                  Fm
They tried to keep their arms 'round us
                     A 
In the end it wasn't me
