Intro: Acoustic: E-G-D-A (x2)
       Electric: Fm-Ab-Eb-Bb-Cm (x$)

Fm  Db       Bb
Separated, I cut myself clean
       Fm                  Db        Bb
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams
Fm        Db          Bb
Been apprehended by a spiritual force
      Fm           Db             Bb
And a grace that replaced all the me I've divorced

Rap 1:
        Fm                     Db
I saw a man with tattoo on his big fat belly
   Bb
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly
   Fm                 Db
It took me a while to catch what it said
        Bb
Cause I had to match the rhythm of his belly with my head
Fm                 Db               Bb
'Jesus Saves' is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
   Fm                    Db
He stood on a box in the middle of the city
    Bb
And claimed he had a dream

Chorus
F                Ab              Eb              Bb    Cm
What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
F                Ab           Eb        Bb   Cm
What will people do when they find that it's true
F              Ab                 Eb   Bb    Cm
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
F                    Bb             Fm        Bb
Cause there ain't no disguising the truth, no I ain't into hiding - the truth
 

Verse 2:
Fm  Db      Bb
Kamikaze my death is gain
          Fm           Db          Bb
I've been marked by my maker, a peculiar display
Fm           Db         Bb
The high and lofty they see me as weak
        Fm             Db          Bb
Cause I won't live and die for the power they seek
 

Rap 2:
            Fm                       Db
There was a man from the desert with naps in his head
    Bb
The sand that he walked was also his bed
    Fm                           Db
The words that he spoke made the people assume
             Bb
There wasn't too much left in the upper room
     Fm                    Db
With scabs on his back and hair on his face
     Bb
They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate
    Fm                           Db
The Pharisee's tripped when they heard him speak
          Bb
Until the king took the head of this Jesus freak

Repeat chorus (x2)

Bridge: Fm - Ab/F - Bb/F (x2)

Fm             Ab/F          Bb/F
People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
     Fm       Ab/F      Bb/F      Fm
That my best friend was born in a manger
Fm             Ab/F          Bb/F
People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
     Fm       Ab/F      Bb/F      Fm
That my best friend was born in a manger

What will people think (What will people think)
Fm               Ab  Eb        Bb     Cm
What will people do (What will people do)
Fm             Ab     Eb       Bb    Cm
I don't really care (What else can I say)
Fm                 Ab         Eb     Bb    Cm     Fm
There ain't no disguising the truth (Jesus is the way)
