The Preacher Won't Have To Lie

D                      Cadd9
I used to believe what money could bring
    G
Was worth more than anything else
    D                     Cadd9
But all that changed when I had a dream
    G
And I got a good look at myself
  D                           Cadd9
I stood face to face with the ghost of my past
        G
And the spirit what was to come
    D                       Cadd9
And they made it clear that one day I'd have
   G
To answer for what I had done
Em                   A
And I saw what I'd become

    D           D/C#      C           G
The choices you make, the chances you take
        D          Cadd9       G
They'll follow you all of your life
         D         D/C#    C
I'm just tryin' to live so when I die
    G                      D
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
