There’s some things I know to be true
Snow is white and the ocean is blue
Rain is wet when it falls from the sky
And the stars come out every night
~ ~ Am F
And just as sure as the sun will rise
This love is real you see in my eyes
Plant a seed and it will grow
Some things I know_____

N.C. C F
There’s some things in life I need
Water to drink, air to breathe
A place to rest when I need sleep
When I’m hungry, food to eat
~ ~ Am F
As sure as I need the sky above
That’s how much I need your love
I need shelter from the cold
Some things I know_____

There’s some things in life I want
A house with a porch, trees out front
Someone to talk with, someone to hold
And walk with as we grow old
~ ~ Bbm F#
And I want all my dreams to come true
Oh, and I want them all with you
And I just had to tell you so
Some things I know_____

N.C. C# F# Ab F# C#
There’s some things I know to be true

I used to believe what money could bring
Was worth more than anything else
But all that changed when I had a dream
And I got a good look at myself
I stood face to face with the ghost of my past
And the spirit what was to come
And they made it clear that one day I’d have
To answer for what I had done
And I saw what I’d become

Chorus:
The choices you [D/C#]make, the chances you take
They’ll follow you all of your life
I’m just tryin’ to [D/C#]live so when I die
The preacher won’t have to lie

I ain’t no prophet and I ain’t no saint
And I ain’t made no great sacrifice
I just keep tryin’ to carry my weight
I keep trying to do what is right
And it’s hard to do right sometimes

Chorus

Oh, the preacher won’t have to lie
