If The Book Doesnt Sell Chords & Lyrics - Ritt Momney

[INTRO]
[G] More so than [G]me, She knows my [Bm]name
And more so th[F]an me, Understands thi[C]s pain
I'm either to[G]o lost, Or not lost e[Bm]nough
I think I'm [F]too smart, For this type of[C] love
I wasn't sent [G]off, But straight to the [Bm]ground
[F] [C] n.c.
And I know God best, Is one with no crown

[VERSE 1]
Don't know why the [G]past affects me in this way
Don't know where I'll [Bm]go if I leave here today
But I know my [F]limits and you're not the type
To be fooling a[C]round in this way
No reason you're here but there's [G]reasons to stay
Not as easy to know as it's [Bm]easy to say
'Cause to my family and my [F]friends I can't think of one thing
That I[C] gain

[BRIDGE]
But more for [G]me
And more [Bm]for me
Mor[F]e
For me [C]

[VERSE 2]
[G]Age 14 at midnight I hear voices from the kitchen
I [Bm]let my feet follow the sound as I let my ears listen
I [F]walk upstairs and at the kitchen table I can see
That God is [C]sitting with the Devil, sharing drinks and old stories
The floorboard [G]creaks a red embarrassment floods all throughout God's face
He swears that [Bm]it's not what it looks like, then he swears he can explain
The Devil [F]speaks, "Your God and I put all our differences to rest
Now man's ac[C]tions are his own, but man will blame us nonetheless"
The Devil [G]stands, he grabs his keys and straightens out a rusted crown
He tells me,[Bm] "Hell is frozen over, Heaven burned down to the ground
And you have [F]only got one life, so do with it what you would like
We solemn[C]ly apologize but we won't be there when you die"

[CHORUS]
And I stand [G]cold and alone, in a body that won't move
[F#m]Watching the eyes of these gods that I once knew
[F]One pair looks down in a half-hearted lie while the
[C]Other looks straight into mine with a whole truth
[G]Lacking the fear I've been told that God deserves
[F#m]I say, "What good is a prayer that goes unheard"
[F]He says, "What hope could they find in a book
If the [C]book doesn't sell and the pages stay unturned"

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[G] [Bm]

[VERSE 3]
And [F]with a wink, the Devil turns and exits the back door
And God is [C]standing there in silence with his eyes glued to the floor
But then he [G]speaks "I am no savior but I give them what they need
And there has [Bm]never been a dreamer who prefers reality
The war for [F]truth is raging on but it's not one you have to fight
And if it [C]is the truth you want, then it is hope you'll sacrifice
It's yours to [G]choose,
And you can [Bm]choose
[F]This is not the way I am, this is just how I was raised
So l[C]et me make up my own mind, let me map out my own way
And [G]to the parents of the kids with tongues down in their throats
Because of [Bm]tears that you will cry if they don't stick to what they know
I'm sure you're [F]giving it your best, and I am sure it takes a toll
But whether [C]God given or not, our lives are not to be controlled
Just let us [G]choose
