Aadd9                  F#7             Aadd9     F#7 
   You know how us Catholic girls can be. 
Aadd9              F#7                   Bmaj9(no 3rd) 
   We make up for so much time a little too late. 
   E        Caug       C#m          E7 
I never forgot it, confusing as it was: 
F#7          Am 
no fun with no guilt feelings 
     E            Caug         C#m         E7 
The sinners, the saviors, the lover-less priests 
 F#7          Am 
I'll see you next Sunday

D                 C#             D 
  We all had our reasons to be there, 
               C#             D 
we all had a thing or two to learn, 
               C#                 Bsus4  B 
we all needed something to cling to, 
       C#sus4   C# 
so we did. 
[Strophe]
Aadd9         F#7           Aadd9 
  I sang Alleluia in the choir, 
      F#7 
(Allelu-allelu-allelu-ya-ah)
Aadd9             F#7                 Bmaj9(no 3rd) 
  I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man. 
     E             Caug        C#m                E7 
My brothers, they never went blind for what they did, 
    F#7       Am 
but I may as well have
        E           Caug         C#m            E7 
in the name of the Father, the Skeptic and the Son. 
F#7            Am 
I have one more stupid question, yeah

D                    E                      D 
 What I learned I rejected, but I believe again. 
                       C#                     D 
I will suffer the consequence of his inquisition. 
                   E                         F#sus4  F#   F#sus4  F 
If I jump in this fountain, will I be forgiven?
