G            D          G  D        G
He said, "I wanna be born, born again
     D            G  D                   G
But not right now, please don't take me then."
     D             G      D         G
But God said, "Son, it's time to go,
     D                G D             G
And when you'll return, I don't know just yet."

But even stars, they die, when they get old
The precious ones that we used to hold
So if you gon' shoot better hit your mark
Send that arrow, send it through my heart
My heart

Chorus:
    G
He said,
D        G D                   G
This time, I won't get turned away
D        G D                   G
This time, I won't get turned away
D        G D                   G  D G D
This time, I won't get turned away
    G
He said.

She said "But Joan of Arc, a walk in the dark"
She said "I've seen how the world ends
First they love you, then they kill you
Then they love you again
And again
Again."

Chorus:
She said
"This time I won't get turned away
This time I won't get turned away
This time I won't get turned away."
She said
"This time I won't get turned away
This time I won't get turned away
This time I won't get turned away."

Jesus Christ, what did you do
To deserve what they done to you?
Jesus Christ, what did you do
To deserve what they done to you?

Come on downtown
See what we got, we got the riot
Oh, come on downtown
And see what we got, we got the riot
We know something ain't right
We know something ain't right
I said, "Come on downtown
See what we got, we got the riot
We got a riot."
