[Verse 1]
D G D
Boy gets a guitar and starts writing songs
D G D
Bout whiskey and women and gettin too stoned
D G Bm
He got all three at the first show he played
D G D
Hometown says I don’t think Jesus done it that way
[Verse 2]
D G D
Boy moves to city lives fast and goes hard
D G D
Starts chasing the devil through honky tonk bars
D G Bm
Ignoring the voices in his head that say
D G D
I don’t think Jesus done it this way
[Chorus]
G D
If I was him I’d say to hell with you
A
Ain’t no helping you
G D
Find someone else to give Heaven to
A
I’m telling you
Bm A G D/F# Em
I'd shame me, I'd blame me, I'd make me pay for my mistakes
D G D
Oh but I don’t think Jesus does it that way
[Verse 3]
D G D
Boy’s all alone got no one to turn to
D G D
He figures he’ll pray cause what else could he do
D G Bm
He says I wish you would’ve woke me up an easier way
D G D
But I don’t think Jesus does it that way
[Chorus]
G D
If I was him I’d say to hell with you
A
Ain’t no helping you
G D
Find someone else to give Heaven to
A
I’m telling you
Bm A G D/F# Em
I'd shame me, I'd blame me, I'd make me pay for my mistakes
D G D
Oh but I don’t think Jesus does it that way
[Verse 4]
D G D
World likes to rear back and throw a few stones
D G D
So boy wants to throw a few stones of his own
D G Bm
Lord knows I ain’t perfect and it ain’t my place
D G D
But I don’t think Jesus done it that way
D G D
Are y’all sure that Jesus done it that way?
