[Verse 1]
D G D
A boy gets a guitar and starts writing songs

About whiskey and women and getting too stoned

Hometown said, “I don’t think Jesus done it that way”
D G D
Boy moves to city lives fast and goes hard
G D
Starts chasing the devil through honky-tonk bars
G Bm D G D
Ignoring the voices in his head that say, “I don’t think Jesus done it this way”
[Chorus]
G D A
If I was Him I’d say, “To hell with you, ain’t no helping you”
G D A
Find someone else to give Heaven to, I’m telling you”
Bm A
I’d shame me, I’d blame me
G D/F# Em
I’d make me pay for my mistakes
D G D
Oh, but I don’t think Jesus does it that way
[Verse 2]

Boy’s all alone, got no one to turn to

He figures he’ll pray ’cause what else could he do?

But I don’t think Jesus does it that way

D G D
World likes to rear back and throw a few stones
G D
So boy wants to throw a few stones of his own
D G Bm
But Lord knows I ain’t perfect, and it ain’t my place
D G D
And I don’t think Jesus done it that way
G D
Are y’all sure that Jesus done it that way?
