D5                      C5 
I used to believe what money could bring 
    G5 
Was worth more than anything else 
    D5                     C5  
But all that changed when I had a dream 
    G5 
And I got a good look at myself 
  D5                           C5  
I stood face to face with the ghost of my past 
        G5 
And the spirit what was to come 
    D5                       C5 
And they made it clear that one day I'd have  
   G5 
To answer for what I had done 
E5                   A5 
And I saw what I'd become 
 

    D5           D5      C5           G5  
The choices you make, the chances you take 
        D5          C5       G5 
They'll follow you all of your life 
         D5         D5    C5 
I'm just tryin' to live so when I die 
    G5                      D5 
The preacher won't have to lie  
 
 
I ain't no prophet and I ain't no saint 
And I ain't made no great sacrifice 
I just keep tryin' to carry my weight 
I keep trying to do what is right 
And it's hard to do right sometimes 
 
Chorus 
 
Chorus 
 
Oh, the preacher won't have to lie
