G C G Under the steeple we were all God's people D Em C G If we loved one another, sisters and brothers G C G But then the preacher told me, God loves the straight man only D Em C G Straight is the same as holy so saith the Lord [Chorus] G C G Father could you ever love a person like me? D Em C G Or did you seal the gates above and throw out the keys Em C G You say we are your children if we trust and believe D Em C G So God please don't forget about the children like me [Verse 2] G C G While the world was sleeping I'd stay up weeping D Em C G Wondering who was the liar, my God or my desire G C G If straight means holy then I -- I guess I don't mind lonely D Em C G But what if we have this life only, what if I was wrong? [Verse 3] G C G They say I'm ruined, but I'm only human D Em C G They say, it could be Satan, but God I'm your creation G C G What is and isn't sin, I'll let it go and let you in D Em C G All this time I was praying, all this time you were saying... G C G D Come lay your burdens down on me G C G Come lay your burdens down on me G C G D Come lay your burdens down on me G C G Come lay your burdens down on me
