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        C#      F#m
for small mercies.

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,
     Bm                             F#m  
she goes down on her knees and prays.

[Chorus]

   D                      A/C#                      
I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours, but I 
 Bm7                    D          
think that God's got a sick sense of humour, and
 E9sus4                          D
when I die, I expect to find Him 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]
