Strum
D-DU-UDU
 You sit  there in your heart-ache
 Waiting  on some beautiful  boy to
 To  save you from your  old ways
 You  play forgiveness
Watch  it now Here he comes
 He doesnt  look a thing like Je-sus
 But he talks  like a gentleman
 Like  you imagined
 When you were young
 Can  we climb this mountain
 I  dont know
 Higher  now than ever before
 I  know we can make it if we take  it slow
 Let's  take it easy
 Easy  now, watch it go
 We're  burning down the highway sky-  line
 On the back  of a hurricane
 That  started turning
 When you were  young
 When you were  young
 And sometimes  you close  your eyes
 And see the place  where you used to live
 When you were  young
 They say the devil's  water It ain't so sweet
 You dont have to drink right now
 But you can dip your feet
 Every once in a little while
 You sit  there in your heart-ache
 Waiting  on some beautiful boy  to
 To  save you from your  old ways
 You  play forgiveness
Watch  it now Here he comes
 He doesnt  look a thing like Je-sus
 But he talks  like a gentleman
 Like  you imagined
 When you were young
 (talks  like a gentleman)
 (like  you imagined)
 When  you were young
 
 I said he doesnt look a thing like  Jesus
  (fill)
 He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
 But more  than you'll ever know
