Praise the Lord by Sean McConnell
(These are the actual chords, he capo's the 5th fret and plays in the C formation. So in 
other words, F = C, C = G, Dm = Am, A# = F when using a capo)
Verse 1:
I used to shFake you like an eight ball; I used to shCoot you like a gun
I used to hDmold you like a hammer, tried to nA#ail down everyone
I used to kFeep you in a steeple; I used to bCind you in a book
I used to tDmake you like a scription', without knA#owing what I took
Chorus:
And so CI just don't Dmbuy it anymA#ore
No I tCry and I've trDmied to know evA#erything for sure
But I fCind I know lDmess as I coA#me to know you more
You're not wCho I thought you were, praise the LoA#rd
Verse 2:
Your love's an ocFean not a river, a symphoCny and not just a song
I don't think eveDmrybody's right, I just think mA#ost of us are wrong
I think that wFhen we get to heaven, we're gonna' lCaugh when we can see
How hDmard we tried to make it, and how eA#asy it should be
Verse 3:
Because proviFdence is endless, and mercy Cis a mystery
And fDmear is no good reason to beliA#eve in anything

Verse 1:

F C

I used to shake you like an eight ball; I used to shoot you like a gun

Dm A#

I used to hold you like a hammer, tried to nail down everyone

F C

I used to keep you in a steeple; I used to bind you in a book

Dm A#

I used to take you like a scription', without knowing what I took

Chorus:

C Dm A#

And so I just don't buy it anymore

You're not who I thought you were, praise the Lord

Verse 2:

F C

Your love's an ocean not a river, a symphony and not just a song

Dm A#

I don't think everybody's right, I just think most of us are wrong

I think that when we get to heaven, we're gonna' laugh when we can see

How hard we tried to make it, and how easy it should be

Verse 3:

F C

Because providence is endless, and mercy is a mystery

Dm A#

And fear is no good reason to believe in anything
