I don't cheat on my taxes, I don't cheat on my Em C G D girl. I've got values that would make the White House jealous. C G D G C Well I do get a little much over impressed 'til I think of Peter G D C G and Paul and the apostles. I don't stack up too well against D Em C G D them I guess. But by the standards 'round here I ain't doin' that awful. C G D G C G Lord it's hard to turn the other cheek, hard to bless when others D C G D Em G curse you. Lord it' hard to be a man of peace. Lord it's hard, D C D G it's hard, it's hard to be like Jesus. (2x) C G D G C G And it's hard to step out on them waves hard to walk beyond your D C G D Em G vision. Lord it's hard to be a man of faith. Lord it's hard, D C D G it's hard, it's hard to be like Jesus. (2x) D Em G Well His eye is on the sparrow and the lilies of the field I've C F C F C heard and He will watch over you and He will watch over me so we D A D can dress like flowers and eat like birds. C G D G And it's hard when your soul has been stripped bare. It's hard C G D C G D to lift your eyes towards Heaven. Lord it's hard to be a man of Em G D C D G prayer. Lord it's hard, it's hard, it's hard to be like Jesus...
