[Intro]
Bb C F
Nobody wants to play rhythm guitar behind Jesus
Bb C F
Everybody wants to be the lead singer in the band
[Verse 1]
F Bb G
A preacher I once talked to in Washington DC
C F
Told me that preachin' the gospel isn't all that it should be
Bb C F Bb
I said it really didn't surprise me but I've often wondered why
C F F N.C.
I'll never forget the words he said or the look that came to his eye
[Chorus]
Bb C F
When he said - Nobody wants to play rhythm guitar behind Jesus
Bb C F
Everybody wants to be the lead singer in the band
Bb C
Well it's hard to get a bead on what's divine
F Bb
With everybody pushin' for the head of the line
C F
I don't think it's workin' out at all the way he planned
[Verse 2]
F Bb G
I once shared a pizza with a pop star on a New York City street
C F
He was the most unhappy prophet you'd ever want to meet
Bb C F Bb
He said he really wanted to change the world but he couldn't imagine how
C F F N.C.
But he'd written a song about what's gone wrong and I'm a-singin' it to you now
[Chorus]
Bb C F
When he said - Nobody wants to play rhythm guitar behind Jesus
Bb C F
Everybody wants to be the lead singer in the band

Well it's hard to get a bead on what's divine
F Bb
With everybody pushin' for the head of the line

I don't think it's workin' out at all the way he planned
