[Verse 1]
Em Gadd11
I was raised in catholic school
C C9/B Am7
Taught to obey that one golden rule
G Em Gadd11
That is, He who sits in the Heavens above
C C9/B Am7
Deserves all your praise, devotion and your love
G Em Gadd11
Because he had a son who had died for our sins
C C9/B Am7
And with that sacrifice came a sense of contrition
G Em Gadd11
That we all seem to feel when we're down on our knees
C C9/B Am7
Looking up to God hoping he'll answer all our needs

[Verse 2]
G Em Gadd11
But I tend to believe that it's all for naught
C C9/B Am7 G
And when the sun does set, all our souls will rot
Em Gadd11
Along with our flesh and our bones and our blood
C C9/B Am7
Will seep into the earth reconnecting with the mud
G Em Gadd11
And I think to myself, what a beautiful lie
C C9/B Am7
To waste being devout to what could all turn out

[Refrain]
G Em Gadd11
To be a lie ooooooooooh
C C9/B Am7 G
To be a lie ooooooooooh
Em Gadd11
Ooooooooooh ooooooooooh
C C9/B Am7
Ooooooooooh ooooooooooh

[Verse 3]
G Em Gadd11
Now I do not know, but I have been told
C C9/B Am7
If you don't believe in Him, well then the devil owns your soul
G Em Gadd11
But let us just examine what's below this land
C C9/B Am7
It's the story of a man with a pitchfork in his hand
G Em Gadd11
Could you honestly believe in such a tall, tall tale
C C9/B Am7
Something that sounds so make believe just like the sailor and the whale

[Verse 4]
