There are only two chords in this entire song
B5 and C#5, here's the fingering:
          
  B5 ----        C#5  ----
     ----             ----
     -4--             -6--     
     -4--             -6--
     -2--             -4--
     ----             ----

B5  C#5                               
Hey God, why are you doing this to me?
B5  C#5         
         Am I not living up to what I'm supposed to be?
B5  C#5         
         Why am I seething with this animosity?
B5  C#5
Hey God, I think you owe me a great big apology

B5       C#5 
Terrible lie x4

B5  C#5
Hey God, I really don't know what you mean
B5  C#5
         Seems like salvation comes only in my dreams
B5  C#5         
         I feel my hatred grow all the more extreme
B5  C#5
Hey God, can this world really be as sad as it seems


B5       C#5 
Terrible lie x3

B5 (only once
   Don't turn away from me I need you to hold on to x3 
   Don't turn away from me I someone  to hold on to \  
   Don't turn away from me I need you to hold on to / X2 
   Don't turn x2
   Don't take it x2
   Don't

B5  C#5
Hey God, there's nothing left for me to hide
B5  C#5         
         I lost my ignorance security and pride
B5  C#5         
	 I'm all alone in a world you must despise
B5  C#5
Hey God, I read your promises your promises are lies

B5       C#5 
Terrible lie x7

(start with this after the 4th terrible lie)

B5    C#5 
          You make me throw it all away
                        B5  C#5        
          My morals left to decay

          How many you betray
         
          You've taken everything
B5    C#5
          My head is filled with disease
                            B5    C#5
          My skin is beggin you to please

          I'm on my hands and knees
                         B5   C#5
          I want so much to belive

 B5   C#5 X12 

("I need someone to hold onto" in background after first few times)
