James and the Shame - Only Thing

[Intro]

C Em Am Fmaj7

[Verse 1]
C
I could argue with the best of them about
Em
where we came from
Am
Convince you over coffee that
Fmaj7
Jesus was God’s son

[Verse 2]
C
Take that empty feeling that
Em
everybody feels
Am
And use it against you ’til
Fmaj7
you were on your heels

[Pre-Chorus 1]
G Am
I was sure as sure can be
F
I was working for eternity
G Am
And there was hell to pay
F
If you saw it another way

[Chorus]
C G Am Em
Now the only thing I’m certain of is that
F
I ain’t certain about much
C G Am Em
It’s easy to be right it’s not so
F
easy to choose love
C G Am Em
Sometimes I miss that feeling of
F
having it figured out
C G Am Em
Have to fight that temptation to know
F
what life’s all about
C G Am Em F
Mmm…

[Instrumental]

C Em Am Fmaj

[Verse 3]
C
Spent a lot of timе workin on
Em
my foundation
Am
Convincing myself that my
Fmaj7
reasons werе reasoned

[Verse 4]
C
Trying to sort it out is what
Em
finally did me in
Am
Guess I threw away the puzzle when
Fmaj7
the pieces didn’t fit

[Pre-Chorus 2]
G Am
Yes I understand
F
That I’m a broken man
G Am
That’s why I’m slow to say
F
That I know what God thinks

[Chorus]
C G Am Em
Now the only thing I’m certain of is that
F
I ain’t certain about much
C G Am Em
It’s easy to be right it’s not so
F
easy to choose love
C G Am Em
Sometimes I miss that feeling of
F
having it figured out
C G Am Em
Have to fight that temptation to know
F
what life’s all about
C G Am Em F
Mmm…
G F
Mmm…
