VERSE 
              E  
    I've seen Jesus play with flames, in a lake of fire 
                        A     Asus4   A     Asus4  
    That I was standing in 
            B7  
    Met the devil in Seattle 
                                           E        Esus4   E        Esus4 
    And spent nine months inside the lions... den  
     
        E  
    Met Buddha yet another time 
                                           A    Asus4   A      Asus4  
    And he showed me the glowing light within  
    B7  
    But I swear that God is there, every time I glare 
                             E            Esus4    E        Esus4  
    Into the eyes of my best... friend  


        A  
        Says my son, it's all been done 
                                             E        Esus4   E        Esus4  
        Someday you're gonna wake up old and... gray 
           A  
        So go and try to have some fun, showing warmth to everyone  
                                                  B7    (walk down) 
        You meet and greet... and cheat along the way 
   

              E  
    There's a gateway in our minds that leads somewhere out there 
                    A      Asus4   A      Asus4  
    Far beyond this plane  
          B7  
    Where reptile aliens made of light 
                                    E      Esus4   E      Esus4  
    Cut you open, pull out all your pain  
     
            E  
    Tell me how you make illegal 
                                      A       Asus4   A      Asus4  
    Something that we all make in our brain 
         B7  
    Some say you might go crazy 
                                     E         Esus4   E    Esus4  
    Then again, it might make you go... sane  
        
        A  
        Every time I... take a look... inside that old and... fabled book  
            A  
        I'm blinded and... reminded of... 
                                               E    Esus4   E    Esus4  
        The pain caused by some old man in the sky 
        A  
        Marijuana... LSD... psilocybin... DMT... 
        A  
        They all changed... the way I see...  
            A                                           B7    (walk down) 
        But love's the only thing... that ever saved my life  
              E  
    So, don't waste your mind on nursery rhymes or fairy tales of blood and wine  
         A               G#m          F#m  
    It's turtles all the way down the line  
          A  
    So to each their own til' we go home... to other realms our souls must roam  
    A                                                 B7        E  
    To and through... the myth that... we all call... space and time 
                                                (let final chord ring)
