No Religion

Tom: D

E                         A                         D
We didn't know no better, and they said it could be worse
                            E
Some people thought it was blessing
C                A               D
Other people think that it's a curse
                G
It's a choice between fact and fiction
A                             Bm    D G
And the whole world has gone astray
                   Em    A          E A      D    A              D
That's why there's no religion, no religion, no religion here today

          E
And there's no straight answers
 A                                     D
Of what this thing called love is all about
             E
Some say it's unconditional
A                            D      Bm A
Other people just remain in doubt
G                     A                             Bm    G
Well I cleaned up my diction, I had nothing left to say
E                   A         E   A       E  A              D
Except there's no religion, no religion, no religion here today

         G
And they ask what hate is
      A                      Bm
It's just the other side of love
                     G
Some people want to give their enemies
  A                               Bm    D
Everything they think that they deserve
                       Em
Some say why don't you love your neighbours
 A          D
Go ahead, turn the other cheek
                            E    A                      D
But there's nobody on this planet that can ever be so meek
        G
And I can't bleed for you
A                          Bm A D G
You have to do it your own way
E              A        E       A    D       A            D
And there's no religion, no religion, no religion here today

         G
And they ask what hate is
      A                      Bm
It's just the other side of love
                     G
Some people want to give their enemies
  A                               Bm    D
Everything they think that they deserve
                       Em
Some say why don't you love your neighbours
 A          D
Go ahead, turn the other cheek
                            E    A                      D
But there's nobody on this planet that can ever be so meek
        G
And I can't bleed for you
A                          Bm A D G
You have to do it your own way
E              A        E       A    D       A            D
And there's no religion, no religion, no religion here today

             E  A                  E          A
And there's no mystery, and there's nothing hidden
           E      A             D
And there's no religion here today
E              A        E       A    D       A            D
And there's no religion, no religion, no religion here today
