Blasphemous Rumors - Depeche Mode
Transcribed from the 101 Songbook. Enjoy.
(Verse 1 and 2)
[F#m]Girl of sixteen whole life ahead of her,
Slashed her wrists, bored with life.
Didn't succeed, thank the Lord,
[Bm]for small [C#]mercies.[F#m]
[F#m]Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again,
Sixteen candles burn in her mind.
She takes the blame, it's always the same,
she g[Bm]oes down on her knees and prays[F#m].
(Chorus)
I d[D]on't want to start any [A/C#]blasphemous rumours, but I
t[Bm7]hink that God's got a s[D]ick sense of humour, and
w[E9sus4]hen I die, I expect to find Him [D]laughing.
(End Chorus)
(Verses 3 and 4 same as 1 and 2. Words below.)
Girl of eighteen, fell in love with everything,
Found new life in Jesus Christ.
Hit by a car, ended up
On a life support machine.
Summer's day, as she passed away,
Birds were singing in the summer sky.
Then came the rain, and once again,
a tear fell from her mother's eye.
(Chorus over and over again until fade)
