Run – Around (Blues Traveler Remix )

Once upon a Sunday morning your friend calls and says come to church

You couldn’t escape the memory of your girlfriend and how it hurt

How she told you that she loved you and you thought it was true

But it was nothing more than lies

When you saw through the voice of a trusted friend who used to humor you and tell you lies, yeah humor you and tell you lies

So you lie too and say you don’t mind and as you seek so shall you find

Now when the evidence is clear will you open your eyes or will you turn your heart to fables and lies

The choice determines what will be I still can’t see things hopefully but you

Chorus

Why you givin Jesus the runaround?

Cause He’s the surefire way to eternal life when all your hopes are going down

Vs2

So let the truth of God shake your confidence, bout a great many things

Well I’ve been there and I can see so clearly that a person can’t fill so many things

It’s a big lie that Jesus is dry and nobody thinks or expects enough

And we sing this song to expose that bluff that only Jesus can fill that much

Yeah only Jesus can fill that much!

It was more than a touch Jesus set me free and He opened up my eyes to eternity

And nothing else fills the void that well

And nothing else can save you from hell

So lay down your life it’ll be just fine you don’t have long you’re running out of time

Chorus followed by musical intermission (same pattern chords)

Well it’s Christ we preach and this is the gospel speakin and we got some news for you

You see the truth still stands no matter how you dance there ain’t a whole lot that you can do

Oh sure your life looks fine but your heart’s gotten colder

Perhaps you’ve grown a little cynical

But a little faith in the things unseen and God’s Spirit will fill up your soul yeah only Jesus can make your heart whole

On the day you die everyone will see and no one gets to enter a final plea

Listen up to the words that you just can’t shake, Jesus loves you to the point you can no longer take well alright okay so be that way

I hope and pray that you’ll believe what I say!

Chorus

2x END

Entire song is G C Am D same pattern
