_ [C] I've written a lot of songs about _ drugs and hard times and when you're happy you have
to write about [F] love _
[G] and when you [G#] love everybody you have [C] to write about loving everybody _ and
what a pain in the butt it is to love everybody.
_ _ _ It's a lot harder than living hard in a lot of ways.
[Am] Live clean and [G] like and treat [C] everybody well but you'd pay to the butt.
_ _ Okay all right, get ready to [F#] roll.

This morning a miracle happened as promised, _ rising of the world's goose. _ _ _
And the almanacs warned us that the fast coming weather might blow us away like dandelion flowers. _ _ _ _ _
Oh and if I had a nickel [G] for every time I've taken shelter from [C] the storm alone and naked
in [F] my bed sheets [G] I could [F] pay off all my [G] loans, buy some nicer clothes, [C] find a job that didn't
always scare me.
But I've been trying [G] not to think before my third cup of [C] coffee.
_ By the heart's a beating tank, _ _ _ gotta let everybody in. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _
_ Everybody [C] gets in. _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I think I know [G] a secret, still not really sure.
[C] Somewhere between I'm living and I believe I can fly. _ _ _ _
_ What's up's I saw the devil in a used bookstore.
He was [Am] ripping up and spitting on the [C] catcher in the rye. _ _ _ _
And I'm coming to myself [G] like a man finding religion [C] and my baptized grounder washed in [F] the blood. _
They say life's an open field [G] but I'd like to plant a garden [C] and I ain't ready for the
fire or the flood.
[F] _ I need a [G] theory of all love.
_ [C] By the heart's a beating tank, _ _ _ gotta let everybody in. _
_ _ Doesn't matter who they are, [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
everybody [C] gets _ in. _ _

_ My conclusion's not a great one, I'll leave that to the smarter ones.
[Am] The soul is an idiot and it doesn't care [C] why. _ _ _ _
_ Oh whatever you do with it, the gift's a pretty simple one.
Just sing until you love [F] yourself and love until [C] you die. _ _ _ _
[G] Oh I've [F] seen trees, [G] like pillars full of blood, [C] chlorophilic stupids waving their [F] glory.
Seen the sparrows in the air, [G] a light on branches [C] there and there's no way that they're afraid
of [F] being dirty.
[C] If I can't live clean [G] then I'd better [A] love _ _ _ dirty.
[C] _
Cause the heart's a _ _ _ beating tank, gotta let everybody in. _ _
