    Religious Songs E.P.

Listen to the song to get the chord timings right, and I recommend using a 
combination of strumming patterns and fingerpicking with lots of small ornaments 
in the picking structure to keep it floaty. Don't go overboard though. The only 
chord I am unsure of is the G/E so any corrections would be good.

lalalala etc

IF there's murder in heaven then you're disinclined to share
You stole my heart and stole your underwear
You say religion is bullshit it's all about metaphor
Well if I need a fence to sit on I'll sit on your sit on yours 
Dreaming of Babylon's whores

I'm singing religious songs
getting the words wrong
My hair's getting too long
for this congregation

Religious songs
getting the words wrong
My hairs getting too long

And they say

How did he really expect to be happy
When he listens to death metal bands

Lalalalala etc

I knew you so long I ran out of cool things to say
I still run into friends that we both had yesterday
And they ask me how I am I lie say that I'm doing fine
They still manage to tell me on an easy-lay holiday
But that's ok remember you thought I was gay

Chorus 2:
Well I beat myself off when I sleep on your futon
Walk in the rain with my second-hand suit on
Beat myself off when I sleep on your futon
I walk in the rain and I'm thinking

If I happen to die tonight in my sleep
I'll have cum and not blood on my hands

Lalalalala etc
