F
Now Johnny took a trip to Brazil 
Dm
To spread the truth, to preach what is real.
Bb
When he got back home he had such a fire, 
C
But just a month later he lost his desire.
F
Now the world was calling, he couldn't miss out.
Dm
Closed his Bible and he started to doubt.
Bb
He ditched all his Christian friends
C
And he went back to the worldly trends.

CHORUS
Dm           Bb
He said, "Why can't we keep it?
F               C
Our quiet times and relationships?
Dm        Bb           F C
Why do we fall away so fast? 
Dm       Bb               F              C
We gotta fight the fight, day by day and night by night.
Dm         Bb             F        C
That's the only way we're going to last. We're gonna last."

F
Now all through the summer, Jill was for real. 
Dm
Well, she had a fire that no one could steal.
Bb
And then school started. Got back to the clique, 
C
Lost her faith so darn quick.
F
Well at first ya know she tried to keep it. 
Dm
It was too hard she just couldn't do it.
Bb
Closed her Bible, went back to the crowd 
C
As her quiet time fell to the ground.

CHORUS

F          C                  Dm                   Bb     F
Can't warm ourselves with the crowd. Can't put our Bibles down.
