Intro: Main Progression x2
G Cadd9 D (Cadd9)
Hey Jesus it’s me
G Cadd9 D (Cadd9)
I don’t usually talk to you
G Cadd9 D (Cadd9)
But my baby’s gonna leave me and there’s something you must
G (Cadd9) D (Cadd9)
do
Cadd9 D Em (Em9)
I am not your faithful servant
Cadd9 D Em
(Em9)
I hang around sometimes with a bunch of your black sheep
F
C Am7 (2)
But if you make my baby stay, I’ll make it up to you
Am7 D F#sus4 (F#m) Em9 (2) Dadd4/C (2)
And that’s a promise I will keep
G Cadd9 D (Cadd9)
Hey Jesus it’s me
G Cadd9 D
(Cadd9)
I’m the one who talked to you yesterday
G Cadd9 D (Cadd9)
And I asked you please please for a favor but my baby’s gone
G (Cadd9) D (Cadd9)
away, went away anyway
Cadd9 D Em (Em9)
And I don’t really think it’s fair
Cadd9 D Em
(Em9)
You’ve got the power to make us all believe in you
F C Am7 (D7) (hold)
And then we call you in our despair
F#sus4 (F#m) Em9 (2) Dadd4/C (2)
And you don’t come through
G Cadd9 D (Cadd9)
Hey Jesus it’s me--I’m sorry
G Cadd9 D (Cadd9)
I don’t remember all I said
G Cadd9 D (Cadd9)
I had a few, no, too many and they went straight to my
G Cadd9 D (Cadd9)
head, and made me feel like I could argue with god
Cadd9 D Em
(Em9)
But you know it’s easy for you--You got friends all over the world
Cadd9 D Em
(Em9)
You had the whole world waiting for your birth
F C Am7 (hold) (D7) (hold)
But now I ain’t got nobody-- I don’t know what my life’s
F#sus4 (F#m) Em9 (2)
Dadd4/C (2)
worth
G Cadd9 D (Cadd9)
I’m not gonna call on you any more
G Cadd9 D
(Cadd9)
I’m sure you’ve got a million things to do
G Cadd9 D (Cadd9)
All I was trying to do was to get through to
G Cadd9 D (Cadd9)
you, Get through to you
Cadd9 D Em
(Em9)
Because when I die and I get up to your doors
Cadd9 D Em
(Em9)
I don’t even know if you’re gonna let me in the place
F C Am7
(D7) (hold)
How come I gotta die to get a chance to talk to you
F#sus4 (F#m) Em9 (2) Dadd4/C (2)
face to face?
End on G
