E
Ribbons went flying out the window
A5
As we drove down the interstate
E
Sex was something so brand new
A5
It was hard as hell to wait
E
She made faces at the goddamn rednecks
A5
They say, look at you boy.. You must worship satan
E
Just because I had the same long hair
A5
as the jesus in all their paintings
F#5 A
Yeah but church just made me scared of words like
E5 D#6
sermon, faith, and congregation
F#5 A
in a world with so many answers left
E5 D#6
why do I need so many explanations
F#5 G#5 A5
to get closer to the truth and further from the sky
F#5 A
and the static singes the speakers
E5 D#6
like a thousand hymns of inspiration
F#5 A
the road just winds through the canyon like
E5 D#6
a big black snake headed for salvation
F#5 G#5 A5
I'm getting closer to the truth and further from the sky
(same pattern through the rest of the song for verses and Choruses)
