[Verse]

             Am               
He's got a cross on his neck, 
               G
but he spends somedays in my bed
          D/F#                 
He's my blue jean little baby, 
        F
with a Halo on his head
          Am                    
He's got lips like cherry wine, 
          G
and cigarette smoke on his breath
           D/F#                  
He's got pretty long brown hair, 
      F
green eyes that look like sex
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

  Am               E
Knees down at your alter
  G                   D/F#
Please don't fail me now
 
 
[Chorus]

                 F
You know all my secrets
          Am
American Jesus, baby
           G                   Dm
Won't you take me to Heaven tonight
                    F
You know you're my weakness
          Am
American Jesus, savе me
             G                  Dm
You're the grеatest love of my life
          N.C.
American Jesus
 
 
[Verse]

            Am                   
Let's drive off into the sunset, 
      G
baby we can be reborn
         D/F#                
Walk on water in the desert, 
        F
make a Saint out of a tramp
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
  Am               E
Knees down at your alter
    G              D/F#
My cowboy in the crown

Ooh, seein' the stars in your eyes

 No, I've never felt so alive
G                     Dm
 We can ride 'til we die
