Well, things change fast, but this too shall [D] pass.
Better [A] carve it on your forehead [Gm] or tattoo it on your [G#] ass,
because who can tell [D] when [G] the clock [D] strikes twelve?
If [A] today's become tomorrow, the dog has gone to hell.
My friend makes [Bm] rings, _ she swirls and [A] sings.
She's a mystic in the sense that she's [Gm] still mystified by [G#] things,
but scared to ask, [D] how [G] can [D] nothing seem to last?
It's [A] like a cancer in your body, it all just goes too fast.

_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] We think too big, we think our self is one whole [F#m] thing,
and we [A] claim that this collection [Gm] has a name.
It is a being, but [G#] deep inside, [D] when [G] every cell [D] divides,
[A] well, it sets upon the rule that state self-interest is divine.
And [C#m] cancer [G#] too, lives by this golden rule [A] that you must do
unto the [A#] others as the others unto you [Bm] all for the best.
[D] [G] Because it's all that [D] life accepts, and [A] so we kill it like a buffalo,
with awe and with respect.

Don't ask God, _ just holler at the sky,
[A] because she'll tell it to you plainly.
And [Gm] the clouds, they whisper by and [Bm] praise the shapes,
[D] and [G] then [D] praise the way they [F#m] change,
and [A] they'll teach you not to pray to light,
without you pray to rains.
I pray [Bm] to hands, I pray to knees,
[A] and I pray to blades of grass to find [A#] forgiveness in [A] the weeds.
But as [Bm] for health, [G] I just never [D] did believe,
so [A] I never prayed myself except to those that prayed for me.

_ [F#m] _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _ [Bm] The story goes, or the way that I was told,
[A] there was a king that always fell too [Gm] high,
and then he fell too low, and [Bm] so he called all [G] the wise men [D] to the hall,
[A] and he begged them for a gift to end the rises and the falls.
But [Bm] here's the thing, _ they came back with a [F#m] ring.
It [A] was simple and it was plainly [Gm] unbefitting of the king.
He [Bm] engraved his life, [G] well it had no [D] front or back,
[F#m] but there were words [A] around the man that said,
you know, these two shall pass.
