Brandi Carlile - Sinners, Saints and Fools: chords

Cm
Where the winds of change were blowin',
              Gm
there lived a God-fearing man
       Fm                   A#           Cm
He was turning through his Bible when he came up
with a plan
                         Gm
He painted up a sign and held it high
above his head
          Fm             A#      Cm
Waved it proudly in the air and this
              A#
is what it read

Chorus:
D#                  Fm
You can't break the law
          Cm
There are reasons for the rules
     Fm                        A#
They keep things safe here for everyone
    Cm                        A#
The Sinners, Saints, and Fools
    D#               Fm
The poor and huddled masses
        Cm
Who are hungry and afraid
          Fm           A#
You gotta do it by the book and there'll be
Cm
No exceptions made

To the weary, desperate souls who washed up
on the sand
He said, "We hadn't seen your paperwork"
and he withdrew his hand
You know he never felt any safer,
all the peace he hoped he'd find
And up until the day he died,
he never changed his mind

Chorus:
You can't break the law
There are reasons for the rules
They gotta keep it safe here for everyone
You sinners, saints, and fools
The poor and huddled masses
Who are hungry and afraid
You gotta do it by the book or there'll be
No exceptions made

By the time he got to Heaven,
it was surrounded by a wall
The pearly gates were locked up tight,
the golden chains and all
They said, "We cannot let just anyone walk
in here anymore
You didn't do it by the book,"
and then they pointed to the floor

Chorus:
You can't break the law
There are reasons for the rules
I keep things safe here for everyone
You sinners, saints, and fools
The poor and huddled masses
Who are hungry and afraid
You gotta do it by the book and there'll be
No exceptions made
