[Verse 1]
         C                  G    C G
So your heart is not a souvenir
C G/B          Am            G  C G C G
Singing from behind a sad veneer
                       C                 G  C G
And tell me, did you lose your calling card?
C G/B                  Am              G C G
When they brought the gavel down so hard

  G/F#   Em                   G
Well it takes a long time to get it back
      Am           G/B        C
The bread you paid and the breadth you lack

[Chorus]
  G Am   C
Amen, so be it
  G Am   C
Amen, so be it
  G Am   C     Am
Amen, so be it
  G   C  G
Amen

[Verse 2]
             C                    G
So they’re pulling all the stops out
C     G/B           Am                  G  C G
You better start pulling all the props out
           C                      G  C G
And hope nobody has a sharpened word
C G/B        Am                   G  C G
For such a precious little bluebird

  G/F#   Em                   G
Lord, it takes a handshake to do it right
      Am               G/B   C
The friends you lost in the wars you fight

[Chorus]
  G Am   C
Amen, so be it
  G Am   C
Amen, so be it
  G Am   C     Am
Amen, so be it

Amen,   Amen
