vamp:
    B7  E      B          B7  E      B
|:[ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ]:|
            B                   F#sus
Will it be different now or the same?
    G#m7sus          F#sus
Will I have learned anything?
   D#m7          /A#     F#            F#/A#
Or was it just a way to spend a day or two
E/B                     F#/A#          B
Set aside for thinking thoughts about You?
F#               /E     E          /F# /G#
If that's all it was I had a good time

Refrain:
     B                           F#              G#m        F#
But that won't be enough for me, not this year not anytime soon
B            F#        B                  F#                  B
I have got to clean house, gotta make my bed, gotta clear my head
                      E
It's getting kind of stuffy in here, smells sorta funky too

Like monkeys at the zoo

B             F#              B                        F#
I have been a whoring after things cause I wanna feel safe inside
          B
That's a big fat lie
E
No amount of green, gold or silver
                                          B  
Will ever take the place of the peace of God
B     /E     /D#        B     E
Spirit come flush the lies out
B     /E     /D#        B
Spirit come flush the lies out

VAMP

Will it be different now or the same?  Have I changed at all?
And if you were to dive deep inside my soul would you find Jesus there
Or a gaping hole?
Should I be content with my beautiful Christian life?

REFRAIN

I have been a whoring after things cause I wanna get everything right
That's a big fat lie
E
No amount of green, gold or silver, the perfect body, another hot toddy

Work for the Lord, fame & power, power and sex
                         B            A
A seat at a table at the Belle Meade Country Club
E/G#            E                                                 B /E /D#
Here's the rub: nothing will ever take the place of the peace of God

Spirit come flush the lies out
Spirit come flush the lies out

VAMP (2x)

            B                   F#sus
Will it be different now or the same?
    E/G#            B
Will I have learned anything?
