[Verse 1]
EmI have not been writing that Cmany new songs
How I wish GI could stay longer, how I wish DI'd never gone
And Emyou have not been writing me as ofCten as I wish
And someGtimes I think I left you just to Dsee if I'd be missed
And EmI saw my fortune scrawled out Cup against the wall
In a croGwded marketplace in a toDwn I can't recall
And the Emteller told me that I would be Cyoung and I would fall
And my Gnew friends all assured me that it aDll was surely false
(D)
And back at home
[Chorus]
EmYou found religion in a diCrty crystal ball
In the bacGk of a dollar store in Dthat shopping mall
And EmI found religion out in CSan Cristobal
Now I Gfeel that I've come far enough to Dgive you a call, give you a caEmll
Em- C- G- D* (x2)
[Verse 2]
EmI have not been writing as ofCten as I hoped
But there arGe some things you're good at and then Dsome you can't control
And Emyou have not been visiting; I cCan't say that I mind
Cause evGery time you go somewhere, you leDave somewhere behind
EmAnd I saw my fortune scrawled out Cup against the wall
In a croGwded marketplace whose name DI cannot recall
And the Emteller told me that I would be Cyoung and I would fall
But I Gdidn't think he meant so soon, no, not Dso soon at all
And back at home
[Chorus]
EmYou found religion in a diCrty crystal ball
In the bacGk of a dollar store in Dthat shopping mall
And EmI found religion out in CSan Cristobal
Now I Gfeel that I've come far enough to Dgive you a call
So I'm Ccalling now, but it says I don't got the number right
Em- C- G- D* (x2)
[Verse 3]
Your Embody looks to me a way it Cnever has before
And is thiGs what's making you so sad? And what Dyou did this for
She said your Embody looks to me a way it Cnever has before
And is this Gwhat's making you so sad? And I Dcan't do this anymore
[Chorus]
AnEmd I found religion in a diCrty bathroom stall
In the back Gof a liquor store in Dthat mini mall
And Emyou found religion when you reaClized you could fall
Now you Gsay that you've come far enough to Dgive me a call
So you're Ccalling now, but I lie and I tell you that I've moved
Em- C- G- D* (x2)

[Verse 1]
Em C
I have not been writing that many new songs
G D
How I wish I could stay longer, how I wish I'd never gone
Em C
And you have not been writing me as often as I wish
G D
And sometimes I think I left you just to see if I'd be missed
Em C
And I saw my fortune scrawled out up against the wall
G D
In a crowded marketplace in a town I can't recall
Em C
And the teller told me that I would be young and I would fall
G D
And my new friends all assured me that it all was surely false
D
()
And back at home
[Chorus]
Em C
You found religion in a dirty crystal ball
G D
In the back of a dollar store in that shopping mall
Em C
And I found religion out in San Cristobal
G D Em
Now I feel that I've come far enough to give you a call, give you a call
