New Religion

Intro: [Em] [Em] [Em] [Em]

[Em] I've been now sauntering out and down the path sometime Come on, it takes me nowhere which I know Faces everywhere, pulling grins and signs and things Telling me not there man, it's no go

[Em] I need a reason, I can't think without one now Too much learning, got to show Call it treason, maybe catch her don't know how Too many things, too much to know [D] [C] [Em] [Em] [D] [C] [Em] [Em] [Em] [Em]

[Em] I'll bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind Lady screaming, lady leave me out 'Cause sometimes people stare, sitting down, electric chair The steaming crowds, they gather and they shout

[Em] Take another chance boy, carry the fight, you can take 'em if you're fast (Don't know why this evil bothers me?) So didn't I say if you're holding on you'll be laughing at the last? (So why are they trying to follow me?) I get along fine with them friends of mine but you have to make a choice (How many reasons do they need) You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time and it's us who make the noise (I might just believe this time)

[D] I'm talking for [C] free, I can't [Am] stop myself, it's a [G] new religion, oh [D] I've got something to [C] see, I can't [Am] help myself, it's a [G] new religion [Em] [Em] [Em] [Em]

[Em] Okay, my reasoning might be clouded by the sun But someone sees the departmental lie You know this peacetime, jabbing fist and stabbing knife You only get one look before you die

[Em] Take another chance boy, carry the fight, you can take 'em if you're fast (Don't know why this evil bothers me) So didn't I say if you're holding on you'll be laughing at the last? (So why are they trying to follow me?) I get along fine with them friends of mine but you have to make a choice (How many reasons do they need?) You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time and it's us who make the noise (I might just believe this time)

[Em] Oh, gotta take pay for the saints and sinners in regulation hats and scarves and things They walk in formation down the lane they carry their cross, make a church bell ring Army majors pull a mean cool truth they're lying in the swimming pool Searching for the undeniable truth that a man is just a fool

[Em] Take another chance boy, carry the fight, you can take 'em if you're fast (Don't know why this evil bothers me) So didn't I say if you're holding on you'll be laughing at the last?

[A] Wonder why (wonder [E] why) (oooh-oooh [G] oooh) [D] You're what makes me rise so [A] high? Maybe it’s [E] something they put in your [G] perfume, or the look in your [D] eyes [A] It could be the [E] atmosphere sinking (oooh-oooh [G] oooh) Ooh, I don't [D] know what you're thinking [A] I don't even [E] know what you're drinking but it [G] keeps this heaven a[D]-live [D] / / [Eb]
