Intro:   D   E7   G   D

Bm
Lavishly our lives are wasted
D
Humbleness is left untasted
G                                      D
You can't live your life to please yourself, yeah
Bm
That's a tip from my mistake
D
Exactly what it doesn't take
G                                  Bm      A
To win you've got to come in last place.
    D                    E7
To live your life you've got to lose it
    G               D
And all the losers get a crown.

       D
I get down, and he lifts me up
       E7
I get down, and he lifts me up
       G
I get down, and he lifts me up
       D
I get down

All I need's another day
Where I can't seem to get away
>From the many things that drag me down, yeah
I'm sure you've had a day like me
Where nothing seems to set you free
>From the burdens you can't carry all alone

In your weakness He is stronger
In your darkness He shines through
When you're crying He's your comfort
When you're all alone He's carrying you

This valley is so deep
I can barely see the sun
I cry out for mercy Lord
And You lift me up again

Hi, this is Smooth Steve from K-Jazz.  Welcome to Java the Hut.
Tonight we have a special guest.  A young man from....uh.
He's playing a new song.  Here we go...

Thanks Smooth Steve.  Hey, this is a song about a book I read
once about the so-called inherit evils of rock & roll, and I wrote
this little song about it.  I guess I'd just like to thank you all
for letting me come out and sing this song tonight.  Here goes..

E      
Once I read a book
G
And this is what it said
A                    E
If your music has a beat
                             E
Then you're gonna wind up dead
     E                          G
It doesn't really matter if it's Christian or not
        A                                     E
If it's syncopated rhythm then your soul is gonna rot
   E G
And this book was called      "Ha! Your Gonna Burn"
             A E
And in the second chapter      I went on to learn

E       G
Take two houseplants
    A              E
And put them to the test
         E                    G
Set them both in front of speakers
              A            E
And let the music do the rest
    E                  G
The first one you play Mozart
         A                E
Or something lovely like that
    E                          G                    A           E
The second one you play that Petra Or that MegaDeth.
                                                   E
Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is.

      E        G
So I took my two houseplants
           A E
And I put them to the test
   E      G
Set them both in front of speakers
     A   E
To let the music do the rest
    E     G
I powered up my Pioneers
    A   E
To let the music roar
      E     G
But twenty minutes later
    A   E
Someone's knocking at my door

E
I opened up my door
G
And there my neighbor stood
    A
He said, "Man I'd like to get some sleep
E
If you think I could"

  E G
I said, "Man, can't you see here
A     E
I've got this moral dilemma that I got to get clear."
        E
He said, "What kind of moral dilemma
    G
Could you have at this time of night
    A
That could make me so angry
      E -------
That I just want to fight!?"


E        G
So I pointed to the page in that open book
     A
That had a picture of a potted plant
E
And I said, "Go have a look."

And he read

E       G
Take two houseplants
    A              E
And put them to the test
         E                    G
Set them both in front of speakers
              A            E
And let the music do the rest
    E                  G
The first one you play Mozart
         A                E
Or something lovely like that
    E                          G                    A           E
The second one you play that Petra Or that MegaDeth.

Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is.

LONE RANGER

  E
First of all he said,
  G
"That's Vagner that you're playing
       A
I've never heard of Petra
     E
And isn't MegaDeth all dead."

E    G   A
And secondly, emphatically, He asked me,
      E E   G
"What's the sense of hanging out with houseplants when, hey,
A   E
I live right across the fence."
(mute)
And I thought to myself
You know, that's a good point

      E      G
So I took my two houseplants, and
   A E
I put them both back outside
    E G
And me and my neighbor
  A   E
Well, we went out for a drive

     E G
We talked about all the things
A      E
That really matter most
       E G
Like life and love and happiness
     A     E
And then the Holy Ghost

E G A E

     E G
And now my two houseplants
      A      E
They sit out in the sun
    E G
But as for my neighbor
   A   E
Well our friendship has become
    E   G
A meaningful relationship
A     E
That's headed straight to heaven
    E
But as for now
    G        A
We like to sit around and listen to Audio Adrenaline
     E
Cranked to eleven!

You can have everything I am, and perfect everything I'm not,
A                     Em         A     
I am willing, I'm not afraid, You give me strength when I say

Bridge;
A                              G
This is the last time I turn my back from You,
E                                       G
>From now on I'll go out, send me where You want me too,
A                                   G
I finally have a mission, I promise I'll complete,
E                                          G
I don't need excuses when I am your hands and feet
