Drugs Or Jesus - Tim McGraw
Album: Live Like You Were Dying
Writers: Brett James/Aimee Mayo/Troy Verges/Chris Lindsey


Intro: C  F  (x2)   (see diagram below for detail)

C               F
In my home town
                 C            F
For anyone who sticks around
                              Am   F
You're either lost or you're found
                        G
There's not much in between

C               F
In my home town
                    C              F
Everything's still black and white
                          Am             F
It's a long long way from wrong to right
               G
Sunday morning to Saturday night


Chorus:
C                            F
Everybody just wants to get high
C                                F
Sit and watch a perfect world go by
      Am               G               F
We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives
Dm7                       G
We follow the roads that lead us
             C     F
To drugs or Jesus


C              F
My whole life
                        C            F
I've tried to run I've tried to hide
                             Am
From the stain glass windows in my mind
                G
Refusing to let God's light shine
F                   G
Down on me, down on me


Chorus 2:
C                            F
Everybody just wants to get high
C                                F
Sit and watch a perfect world go by
      Am               G               F
We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives
Dm7                        G
There's not much space between us
          C     F    C    F
Drugs or Jesus


     Am           G/B
Everybody wants acceptance
   C                   F
We all just want some proof
Am               G/B             F
Everyone's just looking for the truth


REPEAT CHORUS 1


             C     F 
To drugs or Jesus
               C    F
Oh I need you Jesus


(repeat C  F to end while they sing "Hallelujah")


To play a little more detailed like the sound of the piano go 
back and forth from these chords:

     (C)   (C+)   (Fmaj7)    (F)
E-----0-----1-------0---------1------
B-----1-----1-------1---------1------
G-----0-----0-------2---------2------
D-----2-----2-------3---------3------
A-----3-----3------------------------

Because of this song, I became a born-again Christian. My life had been taken from me by drugs, but this song really helped me find Jesus. Thank you SO much for tabbing this. Like Tim says, Halleluia!!
-davidtru | 4/11/2005
nice tab, gorgeous song! that's awesome for the one that had the amazing experience of finding jesus through this song. my childhood and most of my teenage years were destroyed by drug abuse through my father and myself. my mother however didn't survive the heartache and commited suicide when i was 7 years old.

You guys have some great stories to tell of how the amazing transforming grace of Jesus has really changed your life.. that is soo amazing .. keep loving on him ... This song is really true .. different roads lead you to different places and it could be drugs or sex or pornography but i have one piece of advice .. choose the road to Jesus!

Thanks Shantel for the posting your tab. I've been working on a strumming pattern for it. For the verses I us d/dduud/ud and for the chorus I use d/dudu. These sound good when the timing's right. If anyone has any others email me. I am a youth director/leader and this song has a great message for the young people. God bless.
