Tom: G

G                  D
Came to church to praise all love
C                   Am
Sitting, coming for someone else
G               D
It didn’t stew well with me
C                    Am
But I said it was a lover’s deed
G            D
Didn’t trust my own feels
C                   Am
Let someone else behind my wheel
G                 D
Said it was love driving me
C                           Am
But the only one who should steer is me
                 A
Cuz what they saw


[Chorus]
 A                G
They see me in a red dress
                D
Hopping on the devil fest
             C
Thinking of lust
                  Am
As they judge in disgust
              A
What are you doing here?
                  G
They see me in a red dress
                D
Hopping on the devil fest
             C
Thinking of lust
               Am
As I judge in disgust
           A
What am I doing here?
 C                     G
Lettin’ someone else steer

[Verse 2]
 G             D
I saw a love, precious and fine
C                       Am
Thought I should do anything for time
G                   D
Time to change the hearts and minds
C                         Am
Of people not like me in break or stride
G                 D
Shouldn’t be me, trying to change
C                        Am
Thought I’d be something if I remained
G                 D
It just ain’t me singing of sins
C                   Am
Watching exclusion getting its wins
                 A
Cuz what they saw


[Chorus]
 A                G
They see me in a red dress
                D
Hopping on the devil fest
             C
Thinking of lust
                  Am
As they judge in disgust
              A
What are you doing here?
                  G
They see me in a red dress
                D
Hopping on the devil fest
             C
Thinking of lust
               Am
As I judge in disgust
           A
What am I doing here?
 C                     G
Lettin’ someone else steer

[Verse 3]
G               D
Came to church, to praise love
C           Am
Coming for someone else
G                  D
But all the eyes, judging in disguise
C                   Am
They don’t see me, just the lies


[Chorus]
Am                G
They see me in a red dress
              D
No different from the rest
              C
Starting to trust
                   Am
As they join in a rush
             A
What are we doing here?
                  G
They see me in a red dress
              D
No different from the rest
             C
Starting to trust
              Am
As I lose my disgust
           A
What am I doing here?
              G
Striking the fear
                       A
They see me in a red dress
