            B                   F#sus 
Will it be different now or the same? 
    G#m7sus          F#sus 
Will I have learned anything? 
   D#m7          /A#     F#            F#/A# 
Or was it just a way to spend a day or two 
E/B                     F#/A#          B 
Set aside for thinking thoughts about You? 
F#               /E     E          /F# /G# 
If that's all it was I had a good time

     B                           F#              G#m        F# 
But that won't be enough for me, not this year not anytime soon 
B            F#        B                  F#                  B 
I have got to clean house, gotta make my bed, gotta clear my head 
                      E 
It's getting kind of stuffy in here, smells sorta funky too 
 
Like monkeys at the zoo 
 
B             F#              B                        F# 
I have been a whoring after things cause I wanna feel safe inside 
          B 
That's a big fat lie 
E 
No amount of green, gold or silver 
                                          B   
Will ever take the place of the peace of God 
B     /E     /D#        B     E 
Spirit come flush the lies out 
B     /E     /D#        B 
Spirit come flush the lies out 
 
VAMP 
 
Will it be different now or the same?  Have I changed at all? 
And if you were to dive deep inside my soul would you find Jesus there 
Or a gaping hole? 
Should I be content with my beautiful Christian life? 
 
REFRAIN 
 
I have been a whoring after things cause I wanna get everything right 
That's a big fat lie 
E 
No amount of green, gold or silver, the perfect body, another hot toddy 
 
Work for the Lord, fame & power, power and sex 
                         B            A 
A seat at a table at the Belle Meade Country Club 
E/G#            E                                                 B /E /D# 
Here's the rub: nothing will ever take the place of the peace of God 
 
Spirit come flush the lies out 
Spirit come flush the lies out 
 
VAMP (2x) 
 
            B                   F#sus 
Will it be different now or the same? 
    E/G#            B 
Will I have learned anything?
