Jesus Are You Real Mason Jennings
This one's the last track off of Boneclouds, fun and easy to play. Like most of
Mason's songs, he usually plays it a half step down but I think it sounds fine in
standard tuning as well.
Verse 1
[G]Jesus, are you [Em]real?
[C]Did we make you [G]up?
[G]Is salvation what [Em]you want
[C]Or is faith en[G]ough?
[G]Do you know where I'm [Em]bound?
[C]Do you know who I [G]am?
[G]Are you just a word I [Em]use
[C]When I don't unders[G]tand?
[G]Standing like a s[Em]tatue in the [C]sea
In a little truck [G]stop in Tennes[D]see
And bombs are cr[Em]ashing down in wa[C]ves
On a g[G]iant TV scre[D]en
And I am st[Em]ruck I cannot
[C]move to make it s[G]top
What can I d[D]o? People are d[Em]ying in their b[C]eds
While this f[G]lag flies over our h[D]eads
Verse 2
[G]Jesus, are you st[Em]ronger t[C]han a loaded g[G]un?
[G]I'm beginning [Em]to believe y[C]ou're not the only o[G]ne
[G]Strong enough to s[Em]how your love, s[C]trong enough to g[G]ive
[G]Strong enough to [Em]go through hell, s[C]trong enough to l[G]ive
[G]And all night long I[Em] sat with yo[C]u
In a dark[G]ened hospital ro[D]om
And nurses c[Em]hecked in by the h[C]our
I was made a[G]ware of a higher pow[D]er
And how this fr[Em]agile life we l[C]ive
Is not ours to k[G]eep but ours to g[D]ive
What in the w[Em]orld am I gonna [C]do
If anyth[G]ing should happen to y[D]ou?
Chorus
[D]All I do is d[Bm]oubt you, God
[G]All I do is l[D]ove you, God
[F]All I do is q[Em]uestion you
[Em]What else can I d[A7]o?
[D]This world was never [Bm]solid ground
[G]The past is coming b[D]ack around
[F]All I do is sea[Em]rch for you
[Em]What else can I [A7]do?
[D]And when I say I s[Bm]earch for you
[G]I mean I [Em]search for pe[D]ace
[D]I search for hope, I [Bm]search for love
[G]And one day [Em]for rel[D]ease
Verse 3
[G]Jesus, my l[Em]ife do[C]es not feel the s[G]ame
[G]New things happen eve[Em]ryday, th[C]ings I can't exp[G]lain
[G]But I am not a m[Em]an of faith, I[C]'m a man of tr[G]uth
[G]But is this feeling [Em]in my heart, [C]is this feeling pr[G]oof?
[G]When you d[Em]o not know, you k[C]now
And when you k[G]now, you do not k[D]now
And when you t[Em]hink you do, you d[C]ie
And when you [G]do not think, you g[D]row
[D]Are we [Em]left here in the d[C]ark
Or are we l[G]eft here in the li[D]ght?
It seems to [Em]me that both are t[C]rue
And it's up to [G]us to know what's r[D]ight
Chorus
[D]All I do is d[Bm]oubt you, God
[G]All I do is l[D]ove you, God
[F]All I do is q[Em]uestion you
[Em]What else can I d[A7]o?
[D]This world was never [Bm]solid ground
[G]Religion cannot help[D] me now
[F]All I do is sea[Em]rch for you
[Em]What else can I [A7]do?
[D]And when I say I s[Bm]earch for you
[G]I mean I [Em]search for pe[D]ace
[D]I search for hope, I [Bm]search for love
[G]And one day [Em]for rel[D]ease
[D]God give me strength to [Bm]accept the things
[G]That I just ca[Em]nnot k[D]now
[D]And even when I l[Bm]ose control
[G]I will not l[Em]et you [D]go
