WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Mason Jennings - Jesus Are You Real Chords | Ver. 2
This one's the last track off of Boneclouds, fun and easy to play. Like most of
Mason's songs, he usually plays it a half step down but I think it sounds fine in
standard tuning as well.
Verse 1
G Em
Jesus, are you real?
C G
Did we make you up?
G Em
Is salvation what you want
C G
Or is faith enough?
G Em
Do you know where I'm bound?
C G
Do you know who I am?
G Em
Are you just a word I use
C G
When I don't understand?
G Em C
Standing like a statue in the sea
G D
In a little truck stop in Tennessee
Em C
And bombs are crashing down in waves
G D
On a giant TV screen
Em
And I am struck I cannot
C G
move to make it stop
D Em C
What can I do? People are dying in their beds
G D
While this flag flies over our heads
Verse 2
G Em C G
Jesus, are you stronger than a loaded gun?
G Em C G
I'm beginning to believe you're not the only one
G Em C G
Strong enough to show your love, strong enough to give
G Em C G
Strong enough to go through hell, strong enough to live
G Em C
And all night long I sat with you
G D
In a darkened hospital room
Em C
And nurses checked in by the hour
G D
I was made aware of a higher power
Em C
And how this fragile life we live
G D
Is not ours to keep but ours to give
Em C
What in the world am I gonna do
G D
If anything should happen to you?
Chorus
D Bm
All I do is doubt you, God
G D
All I do is love you, God
F Em
All I do is question you
Em A7
What else can I do?
D Bm
This world was never solid ground
G D
The past is coming back around
F Em
All I do is search for you
Em A7
What else can I do?
D Bm
And when I say I search for you
G Em D
I mean I search for peace
D Bm
I search for hope, I search for love
G Em D
And one day for release
Verse 3
G Em C G
Jesus, my life does not feel the same
G Em C G
New things happen everyday, things I can't explain
G Em C G
But I am not a man of faith, I'm a man of truth
G Em C G
But is this feeling in my heart, is this feeling proof?
G Em C
When you do not know, you know
G D
And when you know, you do not know
Em C
And when you think you do, you die
G D
And when you do not think, you grow
D Em C
Are we left here in the dark
G D
Or are we left here in the light?
Em C
It seems to me that both are true
G D
And it's up to us to know what's right
Chorus
D Bm
All I do is doubt you, God
G D
All I do is love you, God
F Em
All I do is question you
Em A7
What else can I do?
D Bm
This world was never solid ground
G D
Religion cannot help me now
F Em
All I do is search for you
Em A7
What else can I do?
D Bm
And when I say I search for you
G Em D
I mean I search for peace
D Bm
I search for hope, I search for love
G Em D
And one day for release
D Bm
God give me strength to accept the things
G Em D
That I just cannot know
D Bm
And even when I lose control
G Em D
I will not let you go
