Em Am Em Am Em Am Em Am 

Verse 
                     Em    Am 
It seemed the better way 
                       Em    Am 
When first I heard him speak 
                      Em    Am 
But now it's much too late 
                  Em    Am 
To turn the other cheek 

Chorus 
                 Em    Am 
Sounded like the truth 
                  Em    Am 
Seemed the better way 
                 Em    Am 
Sounded like the truth 
                         Em    Am 
But it's not the truth today 


Verse 
                Em    Am 
I wonder what it was 
                 Em    Am 
I wonder what it meant 
                    Em     Am 
At first he touched on love 
                       Em    Am 
But then he touched on death 

Chorus 
                 Em    Am 
Sounded like the truth 
                  Em    Am 
Seemed the better way 
                 Em    Am 
Sounded like the truth 
                         Em    Am 
But it's not the truth today 

Verse 
                 Em    Am 
I better hold my tongue 
                 Em    Am 
I better take my place 
                   Em    Am 
Lift this glass of blood 
               Em    Am 
Try to say the grace
