[Intro]
 C   Emx4
[Verse 1]
CI’m not much no not such Ema religious man
I haven’Ct found a reason to believe in Emgod just yet
the notCion that my thoughts are null and Emjudged by someone else and so
I Cshould be good is simply too Emfar fetched
CBut despite my divine opEminions there’s a certain line I keep
Crepeating though it doesn’t make Emmuch sense
and I acCknowledge it’s a contradiction tEmo my firm position but
G7it’s nice to sing thank Cgod for Nicolette
[Chorus]
FShe goes round and round my head, turninCg the sadness in to glad again
E7and I keep her in a string around mAmy leg
FI keep my faith not in a god but Cin a place, far more safe
E7I keep my faith in you
G7I’ve got faith in you, dCear Nicolette
[Verse 2]
CI’ve never understood alEml of the lessons in the bible
CAnd I won’t uphold the values that Emit does
Ccause it justifies hatred anEmd use of fear as a weapon
E7and then condemns two gentlemen for making Amlove
FIf there’s a paradise up high, that we all E7get to when we die
Fbut they only let you in if you’rGe like them
well then Csend me down G6add11below where all the Amdifferent peoAm7/Gple go
and I’ll makF#m7#5e my home
next to mG7y dear, dear, dear, CNicolette
[Bridge]
 C   Emx2
she’s a fine, Amfine friend of mine a fEmace that I can trust
there aiAmn’t no famine or no flood up there too Empowerful for us
cause we rub Amshoulders with the poets who aren’t Emafraid to fall in love
and then Amknock knees with divorcees who aren’t Emafraid of giving up
see we’vAme got mistresses and music and eEmxpressions in our blood
and when Amshe sings I get convinced that somewhere Emsomeone’s making love
well she Amwraps me up in passion see she Emfits me like a glove
and when AmI think about my faith well Emshe’s the one I’m thinking of
[Chorus]
cause she goes round and rFound my head, turning the sCadness in to glad again
and I keE7ep her in a string around Ammy leg
I keep mFy faith not in a god but in a pClace, far more safe
I keep mE7y faith in you
I’ve got G7faith in you, dear Nicolette
 C   Emx4
Fshe goes round and round my head, turninCg the sadness in to glad again
and I keE7ep her in a string arounAmd my leg
FI keep my faith not in a god but Cin a place, far more safe
E7I keep my faith in you
G7I’ve got faith in you my dear, dear, dear, dear, dear, CNicolette
