Verse 1:
 D                G
You make it sound easy,
 D                A7                  D
You say you just hold your hand out, don't you,
         G                   D         A7
You just hold your hand out, don't you.

Verse 2:
That hope never leaves you,
'Cos a light shines on that helps you to steer,
Makes everything clear.

Chorus 1:
         G                       D
(Well it might) Well it might in your world,
         G                         D
(But it doesn't) But it doesn't in mine,
            G                                    D
(I've been stumbling) I've been stumbling in the dark for years,
         Em                 A
And the light just made me blind.

Verse 3:
You say it lights every pathway,
Shows me how to live life for the rest of my days,
For the rest of my days.

Chorus 2:
(But I can't) But I can't put my faith in,
(Your words) Your words and demands,
(I believe) I believe in God alright,
It's folk like you that I just can't stand.

Bridge:
 G
You don't have to try and scare me,

 A
To reinforce my faith, sir,

 G
'Cos I know that one day,

 Em          A           D
I'll stand before my maker.


(Instrumental - D G D A7 D G D D7)
Chorus 3:
(And if I'm found) And if I'm found wanting,
(When my case) When my case is heard,
(It'll be) It'll be by the author,
Not some interpreter of his words.
