[Verse 1]
G Bm C G
Oh, God said to me "Gonna kick your ass, 'cos all you do is ask, ask, ask
G Bm C G
All that energy looking for me, when I'm sitting here inside you, plain to see
D C G C G C G
How I built you cell for cell, gave you sights to see, I gave you tales to tell
D C G C G C G G
Even let you help yourself for a while, to take some weight off this busy child."
[Verse 2]
G Bm C G
Now I said to God "I found you out, 'cos I know what this life is all about!"
G Bm C G
And God said "Stop, don't scramble your brain, my opponent's been messing you around again
D C G C G C G
See him and me, are enemies, and we play little games for galaxies
D C G C G C G G
And he's inside you and I am too, so here we are, just the three of you
[Verse 3]
G Bm C G
Oh, we made mistakes, too many cards, but making human beings can be hard
G Bm C G
A God gets tired of playing so much chess, he wishes his God would get him out of his mess."
D C G C G C G
I said to God "What's it like to die?" He said "It's as plain as the sea and sky
D C G C G C G G
Conception was me and him and you, when your batteries fade, we all just move on."
[Verse 4]
G Bm C G
Oh, I said to God "Who's winning this game? Is the Devil in front? He said "Is that his name?
G Bm C G
You know I've been so busy I never asked, I never looked up from this awesome task."
D C G C G C G
I said to God "What's good and bad?" He said "It's just something that you've gotta have
D C G C G C G G
It don't mean nothing to us up here, but you're primitive people, you gotta have fear."
[Verse 5]
G Bm C G
Now I said to God "Do I think for myself? He said "I told you once you just help yourself
G Bm C G
Don't you forget you're composed of three, your thinking comes from him and me."
D C G C G C G
Now I said to God "How big are you? Is there a religion? Is it true?
D C G C G C G G
How big's the universe? Is time, the same for you, as my life is to mine?"
[Verse 6]
G Bm C G
Oh, He said "If all the things that made worlds float, were all to part, then you would note
G Bm C G
The size of him and the size of me and that's how big we both shall be."
D C G C G C G
He said "The universe is small, just like some fortune-teller's ball
D C G C G C G G
And we both sit down and we play the game, when somebody wins, it all starts again
[Verse 7]
G Bm C G
There's no religion, you did that, it helps to keep your little leaders fat
G Bm C G
Like faith and superstition stay, to help you pass the time away
D C G C G C G
But when you talk of time and life, it makes me think of circles and heights
D C G C G C G G G
Expansion is the clue, your dreams are nearer than you've ever been
[Verse 8]
G Bm C G
Now you see my little toy to think, is from two bowls of wine to drink
G Bm C G
Don't take too much or you may drown, behave yourself, see you around."
