Verso 1: 
G             B7          Em            C 
I tried to write a song, and keep it 3 minutes long 
G            B7           Em         C      D 
Get in, get out, nobody gets hurt 
G            B7            Em          C 
And I tried a thousand times to fit God between the lines 
G            B7             Em          C 
But I’m finding out that doesn’t really work 

Pré-Refrão: 
D D/C G/B Am7 
I just don’t have the words to say, cause words only get in my way 


G       Am         C               D 
I must apologize, I have the hardest time 
G         Am          C               D 
Finding something to define a God that I can’t define 
G        Am           C D         Am7 
And even if I could, it would take way too long 
Cm 
If all I’ve got’s a 3 minute song 

Verso 2: 
G             B7          Em            C 
I’ve got a hundred metaphors, and if I had a million more 
G             B7          Em            C     D 
I could never ever seem to sum this up 
G             B7          Em            C 
Besides, how can some melody communicate eternity? 
G             B7          Em            C 
It’s like trying to fit the ocean in a cup 

Pré-Refrão: 
D                           C                                   Am7 
I just don’t have the words to say, cause words only get in my way 

 
G       Am         C               D 
I must apologize, I have the hardest time 
G         Am          C               D 
Finding something to define a God that I can’t define 
G        Am           C D         Am7 
And even if I could, it would take way too long 
Cm 
If all I’ve got’s a 3 minute song 

Ponte: 
Em              D            Em              A 
I would like to dumb this down to 3 chords, or maybe 4 
C                 Cm 
But I’ve tried and I can’t and I won’t cause there will always be more 
G        Am       C   Cm 
So I apologize, 
G        Am      C     Cm 
I can’t seem to get it right 

G       Am         C               D 
I must apologize, I have the hardest time 
G         Am          C               D 
Finding something to define a God that I can’t define 
G        Am           C D         Am7 
And even if I could, it would take way too long 
Cm 
If all I’ve got’s a 3 minute song
