Something To Believe In

Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Well  I lay underneath an ageless  sky
I  watched the universe breathing
 There's  more going on up there than  meets the eye
Give  me something to believe  in
 Which way's in and which way's out
 Every step is misleading
 Well which way is up which way is down
 You gotta have something to believe in
 Oh, let me dream, let me dream
 I spend my whole life dreaming
 I've been lucky but I'm still me
 You gotta have something to believe in
 I didn't mean to hurt the people I hurt
 I was full of fear and loathing (uh...Correct?)
 I wasn't up to much, but I was all I had to go on
 Couldn't find nothing to believe in
 I don't like all them man made religions
 They all need a little spiritual healing
 They don't cut across race, they don't cut across culture
 But we all need something to believe in
 So you believe what you want to believe
 Just stay true to your feelings
 'Cause one man's god's just as good as another now
 Gotta have something to believe in
 Well I lay underneath a royal throne
 The ? paint was peeling
 Half an inch deep and twice as cheap
 Oh give me something to believe in
 Fat Fred always packing lead
 On the corner dealing
 Makes more in a night than I can make in forty days
 Give me something to believe in
Now  people worship what  they see
Looks  can be deceiving
Violence  rages in abandoned  hearts
'Cause  they ain't got nothing to believe  in
 The chill chill is a bitter pill
 When it comes to leaving
 'Cause there ain't no easy way outta here
 When you ain't got nothing to believe in
 Just woke up in Sarajevo city
 I watched all those mothers screaming
 Kids getting shot and for what, and for what?
 Give me something to believe in
Now  there's fire outside, mud  that slides
Earthquakes  shake the region
Willy  and the Poorboys lost  in America
They  ain't got nothing to believe  in
 For every seed of knowledge found
 For every grain of reason
 For every shred of decency
 There's something to believe in
 Now I lay me down to rest
 In the silence of the evening
 And the moon road shines from here to eternity
 I've got something to believe in
 You believe what you want to believe
 Just stay true to your feelings
 'Cause one man's god's just as good as another
 I've got something to believe in.
 Fade.
 Comments Please.
 For those who might be interested,
 I'm trying post 23A Swan hill in the near future.
 Just need to figure out the riff.
 (Let's watch the Astoria DVD shall we?)
