Blame It On God
For me, the following subject is the toughest to write. Any feedback is greatly appreciated before it goes to song. I'm thinking starting off with G Em C D and see where it goes. Thank you for your time and have a glorious writing day. Thanking God for each and every one here on TSF.
BLAME IT ON GOD
[Verse 1]
Don’t know how He takes it
Why He doesn’t turn me to dust
Hatin’ on the one who loves me
When He’s the one to trust
And I hate myself for saying:
‘God dammit’ when I do
I should be praying instead
When I’m feeling blue
[Chorus]
When you’re out ‘a straw-men
Can’t go through it again
The most perfect patsy there’s ever been:
Blame it on God
Blame it on God
[Verse 2]
He’s slippery, that ol’ snake
Turning things upside down
Comes off the angel of light
The Devil’s what you found
I know I don’t deserve it
Don’t deserve a second shot
I should be struck by lightening
But the bad guy, God’s not
[Chorus]
When you’re out ‘a straw-men
Can’t go through it again
The most perfect patsy there’s ever been:
Blame it on God
Blame it on God
[Bridge]
Seems the whole world blames it on God
It’s an epidemic!
Seems the whole world blames it on God
It’s schizophrenic!
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Don’t know how He takes it
Why He doesn’t turn me to dust
Hatin’ on the one who loves me
When He’s the one to trust
And I hate myself for saying:
‘God dammit’ when I do
I should be praying instead
Knowing He’ll see me through
[Chorus]
When you’re out ‘a straw-men
Can’t go through it again
The most perfect patsy there’s ever been:
Blame it on God
Blame it on God
[Chorus/Tag]
When you’re out ‘a straw-men
Can’t go through it again
The most perfect patsy there’s ever been:
Blame it on God
Blame it on God
Go ahead an’ blame it on God all you want to
But God knows better, yeah-ee-yeh
God Knows Better.

Feels very intimate and personal, and that's a wonderful thing to have in a song.
Kudos for sharing some of that inner conflict we all feel from time to time.

Thank you, Owen. I might have a bit more inner conflict than some. But as you know, every little bit helps in songwriting. Now, you guys got me wantin' to record this one (my least favorite part).
