G
Jesus was a talker
        D
Just an out-of-place New Yorker
   C                    G
He hung out on the boulevard
       G
He was sellin' nickel candies
       D
He was saving up all his quarters
C                         G
Bought himself a cheap guitar
C
Started playin' bars
G
Kids came in their cars
C                            D
Hear them shouting at the stage

       (G  F#m  Em)
Jesus saves
       C  D
Jesus saves
         G               F#m
Hear him cut through the night
          Em              C  D
On those late night radio waves
       G
Jesus saves

You know
G
Jesus he started changin'
D
Things got really strange
   C                       G
He saw his tee shirts everywhere
   G
He started missing shows
    D
The band came down to blows
    C                    G
But Jesus he just didn't care

C
Things got out of hand
    G
And so he quit the band
C                            D
Still the critics they would rave

       (G  F#m  Em)
Jesus saves
       C  D
Jesus saves
         G               F#m
Hear him cut through the night
          Em              C  D
On those late night radio waves
       G
Jesus saves

[solo]  Em  Bm  Em  Bm  C  G  Bm  C  G  D

       (G  F#m  Em)
Jesus saves
       C  D
Jesus saves
         G               F#m
Hear him cut through the night
          Em              C  D
On those late night radio waves
       G
Jesus saves

G
So the dice were cast
D
Today become the past
C                G
Jesus just disappeared
       G
He was headed for New York
   D
Or so his little label thought
    C                      G
And there he gave away the years

C
Last seen drinking wine
G
Beneath a flashing sign
C                      D
Promising salvation to strays

       (G  F#m  Em)
Jesus saves
       C  D
Jesus saves
         G               F#m
Hear him cut through the night
          Em              C  D
On those late night radio waves
       (G  F#m  Em)
Jesus saves
