How [Bm] can you be certain, little [B] boy, tell [Em] me how?
[D] Because [C] I was born, he [B] said, a [E] hundred [A] years from now.
[D] He hit a chord that rocked the [A] spinach [B] and [A] disappeared into the [B] infinite.
[E] And up until the [F#] present [Bm] day, you can [B] take it from [A] me, he's as [F#] right as can [B] be, [E] everything is [A] half of that away.
