Am Am/F Am/G Am/F# (x2)
            Am                Am/F
                Dear God, hope you got the letter, and
               Am/G  Am/F#                                    C     C/G#
                I pray you can make it better down here
                            C/D                C/F#                            C      C/G#
                I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
                                  C/D                                          C/F#
                But all the people that you made in your image
                                D                          D/C
                See them starving on their feet
                                   A#2                           E7
                Cause they don't get enough to eat
                          Am  Am/F Am/G
                From God
                  D2                      Am  Am/F Am/G  D2
                I can't believe in you

                Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but
                I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
                We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
                And all the people that you made in your image
                See them fighting in the street
                Cause they can't make opinions meet
                           Am  Am/F  C
                About God
                  D2                      Am  Am/F Am/G  Am/F#
                I can't believe in you

                             Fmaj7                                           C            G       C  G
                                Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
                             Fmaj7                                        D2           D2/C#  D2/C Em7 E7
                                Did you make mankind after we made you?
  Am Am/F Am/G  Am/F#             Am Am/F Am/G Am/F#
                                And the devil, too?
                                                *Interlude*    C C/G# C/D C/F# (x2)
                                                                            D D/C A#2 E7

                Dear God, don't know if you've noticed, but
                Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
                And us crazy humans wrote it - you should take a look
                And all the people that you made in your image
                Still believe that junk is true
                Well I know it ain't, and so do you
                Dear God
                I can't believe in
                  D2                      Am  Am/F Am/G
                I don't believe in

                                                   D2
                                                 I won't believe in heaven and hell
                                                       A#
                                                 No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
                                                        D2
                                                 The pearly gates, no thorny crown
                                                             A#
                                                 You're always letting us humans down
                                                        G
                                                 The wars you bring, the babes you drown
                                                            A#
                                                 Those lost at sea and never found

                                                        D2
                                                 And it's the same the whole world 'round
                                                        A#
                                                 The hurt I see helps to compound
                                                        G
                                                 The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
                                                       A#
                                                 It's just somebody's unholy hoax
                                                        D2
                                                 And if you're up there you'd perceive
                                                          A#
                                                 That my heart's here upon my sleeve
                                                    G                                                      A7 (pause)
                                                 If there's one thing I don't believe in

                       D2    D2/A# D2/C D2/F D2/G D2/E
                It's you
                         Dsus2 & natural (simultaneously)
                Dear God...
