Blood of the Young
 	  	 written 2005

G            C          G
I preach of love to the choir
G            D     C     G
Virgins and saints to a man
G          C               G
We live until our souls expire
G          D        C     G
And try to give a heart a hand
G     C                   G
Hypocrisy is not what it seems
G      D   C       G
Hypocrites are we all
G            C                 G
You can be good or you can be seen
G       D        C      G
You can bad and have a ball


CHORUS:
D         C              G
Don't you know we're to blame
D        C                  G
For the sins of an innocent man
D         C                 G
Didn't I tell ya it's not a game
Dm7               Cmaj7          G
The blood of the young is on our hands
Dm7               Cmaj7          G
The blood of the young is on our hands


God is good and great and such
The Devil sends a shiver down my spine
I've shaken His hand more than most
Seems that God takes His Own sweet time
I prayed for love and I prayed for you
I prayed for whiskey and for dough
I prayed and cursed and spat and spewed
I gave up my prayin' long ago 

CHORUS


BRIDGE:
C         G                    D
I'm not sayin' we're wrong to fight
C        D                   G
I'm not sayin' we shouldn't try
C                            G      Em
I'm just sayin' that as this world turns
D           C                 G
It's the innocent who pay the price


CHORUS (2x)
