VERSE
G D Am
Take a walk, out the gate you go and never stop
C D G
Past dollar stores and wig shops
D Am
Quarter in a cup for every block
C D Am
And watch the buildings grow
Am C
Smaller as you go
VERSE
G D Am
Down the tracks, beautiful McMansions on a hill
C D G
That overlook a highway
D Am
Riverboat casinos and you still
C D
Have yet to see a soul
CHORUS
Am D
Jesuslaaaaaaaaand (x2)
Fsus2 C G
VERSE
G D Am
Town to town, broadcast to each house they drop your name
C D G
But no-one knows your face
D Am
Billboards quoting things you'd never say
C D
You hang your head and pray
CHORUS
For
Am D
Jesuslaaaaaaaaand (x2)
Fsus2 C G (x2)
BRIDGE
A C G
Miles and miles, and the sun's going down
A C
Pulses glow, from their homes
G
You're not alone
F E C D
Lights come on, as you lay your weary head
G
On their lawn
MIDDLE- G D Am C D (x2)
VERSE
G D Am
Parking lots, cracked and growing grass you see it all
C D G
From offices to farms
D Am
Crosses flying high above the malls
C D
Along the walk through
CHORUS
Am D
Jesuslaaaaaaaaand (x2)
Fsus2 C G (x2)
END

Fsus2 all the way. Perfect.
+3

Awesome! The only thing I would change is just dropping the Fsus2 in favour of playing a standard F. I could be wrong, but I personally think it sounds better that way.
