               LIKE A PREACHER
              MELISSA ETHERIDGE

INTRO: F#m A E B     F#m A E B  


VERSE:
 A              B   A                  B
Are you lying there on the cold dark ground
 C#m                                             
Your skin and bones are bare you stare without a sound
 A                  B    A                         B
What is it in your mind that lights the fuse this time
 C#m
What do you want so bad that you have never had
 A                B   A                       B
Could it be dangerous to light the flame and just
C#m
Feel the warmth again make it rise again
  A                 B    A                  B
Remember your last time you tried to let it in
     C#m
It scorched the walls, torched the halls
                        F#m 
And then it melted your skin


CHORUS:
 F#m             A
Like a preacher save you from the fire
E                B
I won’t let you burn
F#m               A                
Like a preacher gonna lift you higher
E                B   F#m  A  E
I won’t let you burn
                 B
I won’t let you burn


VERSE:
 A                   B    A                         B
The feelings you repress the thoughts you don’t confess
C#m
They grow inside the dark make ashes of your heart
 A               B    A                  B
You recklessly adore the idols keeping score
C#m
But no-one ever wins they just start the game again
 A                       B    A                       B
You chose the cross you bare and pick the chains you wear
C#m
Your heavens in your mind your hells a valentine
 A                  B    A                 B
Come closer now express this longing so divine
C#m                                                  F#m
On your knees be blessed let it possess you one more time


CHORUS:
 F#m             A
Like a preacher save you from the fire
E                B
I won’t let you burn
F#m              A                
Like a preacher gonna lift you higher
E                B   
I won’t let you burn


BREAK:
F#m               A
I'm a sermoniser, On the street evangeliser
 E                 
Virtuous and sanctified
       B
Your innocence is glorified 
 F#m
There’s a part that’s incomplete
      A
Your hungering is so discrete 
 E                                 B
Take this now for it’s my body a little death can be so godly 


CHORUS:
 F#m             A
Like a preacher save you from the fire
E                B
I won’t let you burn 
F#m              A                
Like a preacher gonna lift you higher
E                B   
I won’t let you burn


CHORUS:                    
F#m
Like a preacher
 A                 E
Save you from the fire
   B             F#m A
I won't let you buuuuurn
      E
I’ll save you
 B
Come come


OUTRO:

Come follow me 
               A
To the deep inside
             C#m          A
Where heaven is love is alive
 E          C#m               A
Come follow me to the deep inside
             C#m          A
Where heaven is love is alive
