Version 1

            [Verse 1]
          E 
I've seen Jesus play with flames, in a lake of fire
                    A     Asus4   A     Asus4 
That I was standing in
        B7 
Met the devil in Seattle
                                       E        Esus4   E        Esus4
And spent nine months inside the lion's... den 
    E 
Met Buddha yet another time
                                       A    Asus4   A      Asus4 
And he showed me the glowing light within 
B7 
But I swear that God is there, every time I glare
                         E            Esus4    E        Esus4 
Into the eyes of my best... friend 


[Refrain]
A 
Says my son, it's all been done
                                     E        Esus4   E        Esus4 
Someday you're gonna wake up old and... gray
   A 
So go and try to have some fun, showing warmth to everyone 
                                          B7    
You meet and greet... and cheat along the way

[Refrain Fill]

[Verse 2]
          E 
There's a gateway in our minds that leads somewhere out there
                A      Asus4   A      Asus4 
Far beyond this plane 
      B7 
Where reptile aliens made of light
                                E      Esus4   E      Esus4 
Cut you open, pull out all your pain 
        E 
Tell me how you make illegal
                                  A       Asus4   A      Asus4 
Something that we all make in our brain
     B7 
Some say you might go crazy
                                 E         Esus4   E    Esus4 
Then again, it might make you go... sane 

[Refrain]
A 
Every time I... take a look... inside that old and... fabled book 
    A 
I'm blinded and... reminded of...
                                       E    Esus4   E    Esus4 
The pain caused by some old man in the sky
A 
Marijuana... LSD... psilocybin... DMT...
A 
They all changed... the way I see... 
    A                                           B7   
But love's the only thing... that ever saved my life

[Outro]
  E 
So, don't waste your mind on nursery rhymes or fairy tales of blood and wine 
     A               A/G#         F#m 
It's turtles all the way down the line 
      A 
So to each their own til' we go home... to other realms our souls must roam 
A                                                 B7        E 
To and through... the myth that... we all call... space and time
