D-DU-UDU
 Hey God, why  are you doing this to me?
am  I not living up to what  I'm supposed to be?
 why am I seething  with this animosity?
Hey  God, I think you owe  me a great big apology
 terrible lie
 terrible lie
 terrible lie
 terrible lie
 Hey God, I really don't know what you mean
 seems like salvation comes only in our dreams
 I feel my hatred grow all the more extreme.
 Hey God, can this world really be as sad as it seems?
 terrible Lie (4x)
don't  take it away from me, I  need someone to hold on to
don't  take it away from me, I  need you to hold on to
don't  take it away from me, I  need someone to hold on to
don't  take it, don't take it, don't  take it
 Hey God
 Hey God
 Hey God
 Hey God
 Hey God, there's nothing left for me to hide
 I lost my ignorance, security and pride
 I'm all alone in the world you must despise
 (no guitar)
 Hey God, I believed your promises, your promises and lies!
 terrible liiiiiiiie
 terrible lie
 terrible lie
you  made me throw it all away,
 my  morals left to decay
 how  many you betray
 you've  taken everything
my  head is filled with disease
 my  skin is begging you  please
 I'm  on my hands and  knees
 I  want so much to believe
 Hey God
 Hey God
 Hey God (end on Dm)
