_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [A] I found a small red [B] boy inside my [Am] tummy _ With _ [D] _ _
[C] three [G] dollars in change and a Milky Way
[C] light _ In [E] my occasional pursuit to find something
[Am] more meaningful _ _ _ Than [F] yet another word that rhymes with [G] die
I _ _
_ [Am] cut him out [E] and put him on [Am] my table _ _ _
_ [C] His shallow breathing [G] chest would [G] fall and
rise [C] _ _
_ [E] His South of Heaven shirt was way [Am] too big
for him _ _ _ [F] His horns were long and sharp and then [G] he
opened up those eyes that said I am, I am, I am, I am the [Am] tree _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ [A] I showered him with [B] love and _ [A] adulation _ _ [D] _ _ [C] One day he was [G] just as tall as [C] me
_ _ _ _ I showed him [E] all the books that I was [Am] raised on
_ _ Dear [F] Madeline, Le Angles and [G] Duller's _ Mythologies And in a [A] montage that could [B] warm the heart
of [A] Hitler _ I [D] _ _
[C] raised him up so proud [D] and motherly _ _ _ _
I swore [E] that I was glancing in [Am] a mirror _ When in [F] the language that I taught him, oh
[G] God, he began to speak He said [C] I am, I am, I [G]
am, [A] I am the truth _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
And his [F] eyes became a beacon, _ [G] an LCD _ projector _ [E] Broadcasting all my memories in [F] a clear and
vivid picture _ He became a staircase, [G] his UV love a knocker
[E] Of an ornate wooden door that led [F] me straight into my future
His throat became a hallway [G] with a thousand baby pictures
[E] And I became forgiveness, I [F] transformed into the closure that I lost
When I learned about [G] the tragedy of all of us, [E] I lost it
When I learned about [F] the tragedy of all of us,
_ _ Incurrageable illness in [G] the loved ones, in and out of us, [E] I lost it
When I learned about [F] the tragedy of all of us, I walked through the hallway to [G] a room
of lonely mirrors, _ [E] reflecting me in bondage flow
[F] I watched myself get freer, I let my horns grow longer
[G] I had started my skin get redder, [A] my soul became a hammer
[C] I started to feel better, [F] my hatred turned to pity
My [G] resentment blossomed flowers, [C] my bitter tasted [E]
candy
[A] My misery [G] was power, [F] the truth in me grew brighter
_ [G] My nature and my nurture no [C] more shame, no [G] _ _
[A] more regret, _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [G] _
I am [C] the truth _ _ _
