[Verse 1]
C                   F
Jesus Christ in the manger love
C                    G
Took his hope to the grave
C             F             D
Death is all around me now
C       G         C
Try, oh try to be brave


[Verse 2]
C                    F
Cross my heart, Mary Magdelene
C                           G
Bathed in neon light in the rave
C                   F             D
Run, we run young believers down
C             G        C
Down from the banks we wade


[Verse 3]
C               F
Belly up in the water now
C                       G
Acid coats the walls of rain
C                F            D
Jesus Christ, forgive us love
C       G           C
We know not what we crave

C                   F
Jesus Christ in the manger love
C                    G
Took his hope to the grave
C                    F          D
Cross my heart, Mary Magdelene
C               G               C    F   C
Try with all my might to do the same
