Bible Belt Chords

[Intro]
G     Em  C
 
 
[Verse]
           G
Maybe you grew up a little like I did
           Em
Maybe you knew someone like me as a kid
           Am
Maybe you worked through your own shit
 
Or learned that the one fix is
   G                        D
Believing you can pray it away, 'cause hey
 
 
[Chorus]
      C
They hit you over the head with it
 D
Stuff it down your throat
 G
Say ya need to be forgiven
       Em
While they keep casting stones
 
       C
And I know that they mean well
              D
They’re just trying to save ya from hell
               G
But I’m still bleeding from that beating
   C            D     G   G
I got from the Bible belt
 
 
[Verse]
              G
They told me Jesus would save me from my sin
                Em
But they still paint pictures of Him with white skin
               Am
They made some bad outta that Good Book
 
And I hate that it took
    G                    D
So long to get over what it did to me
 
 
[Chorus]
      C
They hit you over the head with it
 D
Stuff it down your throat
 G
Say ya need to be forgiven
       Em
While they keep casting stones
 
       C
And I know that they mean well
              D
They’re just trying to save ya from hell
               G
But I’m still bleeding from that beating
   C            D     G
I got from the Bible belt

[Break]
          C
No there ain’t nothing wrong with having religion
 G                               D
Ain’t trying to change no one’s minds
 
 C
Ain’t trying to look down or judge their convictions
      D               G            D
Just wish they would stop judging mine
 
 
[Chorus]
             C
'Cause they hit you over the head with it
 D
Stuff it down your throat
 G
Say ya need to be forgiven
       Em
While they keep casting stones
 
       C
And I know that they mean well
              D
They’re just trying to save ya from hell
               G
But I’m still bleeding from that beating

I got from the Bible belt
