D2/A

[ / / ][ / / / / ]

A2 D2/A A2

Waking up to a very different world

E F#m D2 A2 Em7 D2

We've got mud on our flag before it's even been unfurled

A2 D2/A A2

Our heroes have fallen and a leader is hard to find

E F#m D2 A2 E

The clock is running out, we're casting our pearls before swine

Chorus 1:

F#m7 Em/G A2

There's a whole lot more than preaching to the choir

F#m7 E D2 A2

Kneeling at the altar or paying our tithe

F#m7 Em/G A2

We've been treating God like He's happiness for hire

E F#m D2 VAMP

We've been playing marbles with diamonds

A2

[ / / ][ / / / / ]

Isn't it a shame how His Name gets thrown around

We pat God on the back like a buddy from out of town

We thank the Man upstairs for the things people praise us for

We give God the glory but we're happy to take the award

Chorus 2:

There's a whole lot more than raising lots of money

Building our churches and spreading our fame

Faith is just a dice that you roll to get lucky

We've been playing marbles with diamonds

C2 Am27 C2/G F2

There are precious things of God and we must guard them with our lives

Dm27 C2 F2 G

Like an unborn baby's dreams, like a husband loves a wife

C2 Am27 C2/G F2

May the hope of His returning, may it purify our faith

Dm27 C2 F2 G VAMP

As we hold onto His holy Word may the chaff be blown away

A2 D2/A

[ / / ][ / / / / ]

Can we ever live up to the things that we say we believe

Cause the world is watching, looking for some honesty

Have we been riding down a freeway instead of on a narrow road

We've turned a passion for the lost into a business of saving souls

CHORUS 1

CHORUS 2

E F#m D2 A/G D/F# A

...We've been playing marbles with diamonds
