Blasphemous Rumors - Depeche Mode

Transcribed from the 101 Songbook. Enjoy.

[Verse 1 and 2]

F#m

Girl of sixteen whole life ahead of her,

Slashed her wrists, bored with life.

Didn't succeed, thank the Lord,

Bm C# F#m

for small mercies.

F#m

Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again,

Sixteen candles burn in her mind.

She takes the blame, it's always the same,

Bm F#m

she goes down on her knees and prays.

[Chorus]

D A/C#

I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours, but I

Bm7 D

think that God's got a sick sense of humour, and

E9sus4 D

when I die, I expect to find Him laughing.

[End Chorus]

[Verses 3 and 4 same as 1 and 2. Words below.]

Girl of eighteen, fell in love with everything,

Found new life in Jesus Christ.

Hit by a car, ended up

On a life support machine.

Summer's day, as she passed away,

Birds were singing in the summer sky.

Then came the rain, and once again,

a tear fell from her mother's eye.

[Chorus over and over again until fade]
