How To Be Righteous

            G          G/F#    Em
Don't judge me, I will judge myself
       C                                     D
I will lie in my bed at night wide awake or asleep
       G         G/F#               Em
I will feel pain when I know I have given it
     C                                         D
Everything I put out to the world I know comes back to me


[Chorus]
         C               G
But when angels hear the Devils' call
       C                          G
And my vision's unclear, I got no sense at all
         C              G      A
I'm just hoping I will obey my conscience
          C               G G/F# Em  C  D
I want to learn how to be righteous


[Verse 2]
              G        G/F#     Em
I saw it on a TV show, I bought the book you know
       C                                                  D
Paid attention when I thought the preacher was talking to me
             G        G/F#     Em
But it's not easy, no,  to get over, let it go
          C                                                   D
All these feelings that are burning and building up inside of me


[Chorus]
         C               G
But when angels hear the Devils' call
       C                          G
And my vision's unclear, I got no sense at all
         C              G      A
I'm just hoping I will obey my conscience
          C               G G/F# Em  C  D
I want to learn how to be righteous


[Verse 3]
                         G    G/F#       Em
Well, I'll look at all I have and I will claim it
          C                                      D
Won't let anybody else ever tell me who I should be
                 G      G/F#           Em
I'll look in the mirror and gaze in my children's eyes
      C                                            D
And I will not give a damn what anybody else thinks of me


[Bridge]
         C                      G
And when questions come, I will answer right
   C                           G
Be true to myself, if need be, put up a fight
         C                G            A
Will not heed to greed, I will obey my conscience
          C                D               G G/F# Em  C  G
I want to learn, I need to learn how to be righteous


[Chorus]
         C               G
So, when angels hear the Devils' call
       C                          G
And my vision's unclear, I got no sense at all
         C              G      A
I'm just hoping I will obey my conscience
          C                D               G G/F# Em  C  G
I want to learn, I need to learn how to be righteous
