Em
You can't love your money

And also love the Lord, I've tried before
                       D    G
And I'll die before I try again
Em
You can't gain fame
        G                           Em
And it ever satisfy, I've done and tried

It numbed me right down to my bones

I would rather die a beggar
        G
Than to beg at Heaven's gates

Pack the car and burn the bridges

I didn't need 'em anyways
   Em
If no one's riding with me
            G
Then I'll travel on my own
     G
I'd rather lose the world before the world
     D       Em
Can gain my soul

I've tried to earn His love

But I really dug a hole, the night got cold
         D                     G
A mortal soul can't bare that cross
Em
My hands are red
          G                       Em
And I am guilty of a multitude of sins

Without the cover of His blood
