Dear God

If you're really real, then I'm sorry I haven't reached out in a while
      Bb
Since I was a child, I've been busy, you see
   Eb                         Ebm
So I haven't had time to seek your company
      Gm         Eb                    Bb
I was under the impression that you had left
                     Ebmaj7
And your death I did grieve
                                 Ebm         Bb    Eb
I had simply grown out of the privilege to believe

Dear God
                                   Eb
Things have gotten so bad that I'm asking an illusion for a lifeline or two
  Bb
I thought that I'd be six feet under the ground

Before I would consider ever coming to you
      Gm         Eb                    Bb
I was under the impression that you had left
                     Eb
And your death I did grieve
                                 Ebm         Bb
I had simply grown out of the privilege to believe

I'm not sure if you're real, but if you're up there, I have one small request
Bb                                 Eb
Since everything else right now is xxxxxx

I graduated from law school in the top tier of my class
      Gm                         Eb
But I keep getting fired from the places I'm hired
    Bb                                      Eb  Gm  Ebm
And keeping a job is becoming a pain in the ass

So, God, will you help me pay my rent?
             Bb                                   Gm7            Ebm
Because it's three days past the due date, and my grace is almost up

Since everything else is such a mess right now

Will you cut me some slack?

The people who cannot defend themselves against this horrible system like others can do
       Gm            Eb
I will be the face of justice
           Bb                      Eb
Because my sympathy is too much to bear
                               Ebm           Bb
I could never grow out of this curse that is to care
