[Intro]
Am C G D
[Verse]
AmPeople living their lives for you Con T.V.
They say they're Gbetter than you and Dyou agree
AmHe says "Hold my calls from bCehind those cold brick walls"
Says G"Come here boys, there ain't nDothing for free"
AmAnother doctor's bill, a lCawyer's bill, another cute cheap thGrill
You know you love him if you pDut him in your will but
[Chorus]
AmWho will sCave your soGuls when it comeDs to the flowers now
AmWhoo-oo, whCo will save your souGls after all those lieDs that you told, boy
AmAnd who will saCve your souGls if you won't Dsave your own?
AmLa-di-da...C  G  D  
[Verse]
AmWe try to hustle them, try to buCstle them, try to cuss them
The cGops want someone to bust down on DOrleans Avenue
AmAnother day, another dCollar, another war, another tGower
Went up where the hoDmeless had their homes
AmSo we pray to as many dCifferent Gods as there are flGowers
We call relDigion our friend
AmWe're so worried about sCaving our souls
Afraid that GGod will take his toll
That we forgDet to begin but
[Chorus]
AmWho will sCave your soGuls when it comeDs to the veterans now
AmWhoo-oo, whCo will save your souGls after all those lieDs that you told, boy
AmAnd who will saCve your souGls if you won't Dsave your own?
AmLa-di-da...C  G  D  
[Bridge]
Am C G D
[Verse]
AmSome are walking, some are talCking, some are stalking and kGill
Got social security, but it dDoesn't pay your bills
There are addAmictions to feed and there are Cmouths to pay
So we barGgain with the devil, but you're ODK for today, say
AmThat you love me, take their Cmoney and run, say
It's been swGell, sweetheart, but it was Djust one of those tAmhings
Those flings, those strings you'Cve got to cut
So get out Gon the streets, girls, and bDust your bAmutts
[Chorus]
Who will sCaaaa-Gave yoooDooooooAmooooooCoour sGoul when it comDes to the babies now?
AmHaa-aa, who Cwill save your souGls after all those lieDs that you told, boy
AmAnd who will sCave, sGave yooDooooAmoooooCoour soGul if you wonD't save your own?
AmBa-da-da...C  G  D

The story behind the song

"Who Will Save Your Soul" explores the search for salvation, and the idea that many people look for someone else to save them, rather than finding that strength within themselves. Jewel wrote this song when she was sixteen, after a trip through Mexico where she observed this very human tendency. It became the first single from her debut album, Pieces of You, released in 1995. At its heart, the song is a reminder to look inward for the answers we seek, rather than relying on external sources, even when we call religion our friend.
