D Cadd9
I used to believe what money could bring
G
Was worth more than anything else
D Cadd9
But all that changed when I had a dream
G
And I got a good look at myself
D Cadd9
I stood face to face with the ghost of my past
G
And the spirit what was to come
D Cadd9
And they made it clear that one day I'd have
G
To answer for what I had done
Em A
And I saw what I'd become
D D/C# C G
The choices you make, the chances you take
D Cadd9 G
They'll follow you all of your life
D D/C# C
I'm just tryin' to live so when I die
G D
The preacher won't have to lie
I ain't no prophet and I ain't no saint
And I ain't made no great sacrifice
I just keep tryin' to carry my weight
I keep trying to do what is right
And it's hard to do right sometimes
Chorus

Oh, the preacher won't have to lie
