[Chorus]
       E                    D              E           E
It's a hell of a time to be thinking about heaven,
E             D              E           E
didn't you forget the golden rule.
E                       D                E           E
You've been acting like Jesus owes you a favor,
    E             D                E        E      E     E
but he's a little smart for you to fool.

[Verse 1]
E                D               E        E
You complain how you forgets the gospel,
E               D                  C     C     E     E
you remind them seek and you shall   find.
E                D               E         E
Maybe youth will have a time for seeking
E                D                  E       E     E       E
after they clean up what you left behind

[Chorus]
       E                    D              E         E
It's a hell of a time to be thinking about heaven,
E             D              E           E
didn't you forget the golden rule.
E                       D                E        E
You've been acting like Jesus owes you a favor,
    E             D                E        E      E      E
but he's a little smart for you to fool.

[Verse 2]
          E                   D                     E        E
You were right there when the plate was passed last Sunday,
           E                  D                  C     C     E     E
that's the second time you've been to church all   year.
E                D               E         E
Could you really call yourself a christian
   E            D               E     E
if charity cost half as much as beer?

[Interlude]
E          X16
Hey !

[Verse 3]
    E             D                E        E
You pray a little more as you grow older,
    E            D                  C     C     E     E
you get religion as your hair turns   gray.
    E                 D               E         E
But you don't need to worry about hereafter,
     E                 D             E     E      E      E
just worry what you're going to do today.

[End-Chorus]
              E                    D              E           E
'Cause it's a hell of a time to be thinking about heaven,
E             D              E           E
didn't you forget the golden rule.
E                       D                E           E
You've been acting like Jesus owes you a favor,
    E             D                E        E
but he's a little smart for you to fool.
E                 D                       E        E
Yes, my friend, I think you've blown your cool.
