D2/A
A2 D2/A A2
Waking up to a very different world
E F#m D2 A2 Em7 D2
We've got mud on our flag before it's even been unfurled
A2 D2/A A2
Our heroes have fallen and a leader is hard to find
E F#m D2 A2 E
The clock is running out, we're casting our pearls before swine


Chorus 1:
F#m7 Em/G A2
There's a whole lot more than preaching to the choir
F#m7 E D2 A2
Kneeling at the altar or paying our tithe
F#m7 Em/G A2
We've been treating God like He's happiness for hire
E F#m D2 VAMP
We've been playing marbles with diamonds
A2
Isn't it a shame how His Name gets thrown around
We pat God on the back like a buddy from out of town
We thank the Man upstairs for the things people praise us for
We give God the glory but we're happy to take the award


Chorus 2:
There's a whole lot more than raising lots of money
Building our churches and spreading our fame
Faith is just a dice that you roll to get lucky
We've been playing marbles with diamonds
C2 Am27 C2/G F2
There are precious things of God and we must guard them with our lives
Dm27 C2 F2 G
Like an unborn baby's dreams, like a husband loves a wife
C2 Am27 C2/G F2
May the hope of His returning, may it purify our faith
Dm27 C2 F2 G VAMP
As we hold onto His holy Word may the chaff be blown away
A2 D2/A
Can we ever live up to the things that we say we believe
Cause the world is watching, looking for some honesty
Have we been riding down a freeway instead of on a narrow road
We've turned a passion for the lost into a business of saving souls


CHORUS 1


CHORUS 2
E F#m D2 A/G D/F# A
...We've been playing marbles with diamonds
