hey, jesus, it's me.
SIb MIb(9) FA MIb(9)
i don't usually talk to you.
SIb MIb(9) FA MIb(9)
but my baby's gonna leave me, and there's something you must do.

FA SOLm7 SOLm9
i am not your faithful servant, I hang around
MIb(9) FA SOLm7 SOLm9
sometimes with a bunch of your black sheep,
SOL# MIb DOm7(4)
but if you make my baby stay, i'll make it up to you
DOm7 FAsus LA7sus RE7 SOLm9 FA7
ItŐs a promise I will keep.
(repeats)
hey jesus, it's me.
I'm the one who talked to you yesterday
Asked you please, please for a favor.
But my baby's gone away.
went away anyway
and i don't really think its fair.
you've got the power to make us all believe in you.
and then we call you in despair,
and you don't come through.
hey jesus, it's me, I'm sorry.
I don't remember all I said.
I had a few, no, too many
and they went straight to my head.
Made me feel like i could argue with god.
but you know, it's easy for you.
you got friends all over the world.
you had the whole world waiting for your birth.
but now i ain't got nobody
DOm7 FA7 LAm RE7
I don't know what my life's worth.
i'm not gonna call you anymore.
I'm sure you've got a million things to do.
all i was trying to do was to get through to you,
get through to you.
Ôcause when i die and i get up to your doors,
i don't even know if you're gonna let me in the place.
DOm7
how come i gotta die to get a chance to talk to you
FA7 LAm RE7 SOLm9 FA7 FAsus SIb
face to face?
