Intro: G  Em  G  Em 


Verse 1:
 
          G                                     Em 
While you read to me from the right, act way on high, high 
G                                          Em 
Clutching a crisp New Testament, breathing fire, fire 
         G                                          Em      
Will you save me the fake benevolence, I don't have time, I'm... 
     G                                   Em 
Just too far gone for a-tellin', lost my pride, I don't mind 


      C                 Em 
Being holy, so leave me alone 
                       G                  C             G  Em  G  Em 
Awe, you're acting all holy, me, I'm just full of holes 




(Verse 2: use verse 1 chords)
 
Well I can dip my head in the river 
Cleanse my soul...oh 
I'll still have the stomach of a sinner 
Face like an unholy ghost 
Will you save me all the soliloquies 
Paid my fines, I'll be 
Gone before my deliverance 
Preach what you write, cause I don't mind 


(Chorus 2: use chorus 1 chords)
 
Being holy, so leave me alone 
You're acting all holy, me, I'm just full of holes, full of holes 


Bridge: 
              C                    Em 
Don't mind me lonely, spare me the brimstone 
           G                       C 
Acting all holy, when you know I'm full of holes 
              Em                       C 
Don't mind be lonely, don't need to be told 
               G                C                      G 
Stop acting so holy, I know I'm full of holes, full of holes 


Interlude: G  Em (4x) 


Chorus outro: use chorus 1 chords 
I don't mind be holy, so leave me alone 
Are you, oh, so holy, that I'll never be good enough 
Don't care if I'm lonely, cause it feels like home 
I won't ever be holy, thank God I'm full of holes, full of holes
