Am Am Em Em

Am Am Em Em Am Am
I found a small red boy inside my tummy
C C Em Em Am Am
With three dollars in change and a milky way light
C C Em Em Am Am
In my occasional pursuit to find something more meaningful
F F G G
And yet another word that rhymes with die
Am Am Em Em Am Am
I cut him out and put him on my table
F F G G Am Am
His shallow breathing chest would fall and rise
C C Em Em Am Am
His 'South of Heaven' shirt was way too big for him
F F
His horns were long and sharp
G G
And then he opened up those eyes that said
C C Am Am Em Em
"I am, I am, I am, I am the truth."


Am Am Em Em


Am Am Em Em Am Am
I showered him with love and adulation
C C Em Em Am Am
One day he was just as tall as me
C C Em Em Am Am
I showed him all the books that I was raised on
F F G G
Your Madeleine L'Engle and D'Aulaires' Mythologies
Am Am Em Em Am Am
And in a montage that could warm the heart of Hitler,
C C Em Em Am Am
I raised him up so proud and motherly
C C Em Em Am Am
I swore that I was glancing in a mirror
F F G G
When in the language that I taught him, oh god, he began to speak, he said
C C Am Am Em Em
I am, I am, I am, I am the truth
C C Am Am Em Em
I am, I am, I am, I am the truth


Am Am Em Em


Am Am
And his eyes became a beacon
G G Em Em F F
An LCD projector broadcasting all my memories in a clear and vivid picture
F F
His tongue became a staircase
G G
His uvula the knocker
Em Em F F
Of an ornate wooden door that led me straight into my future
F F Em Em
His throat became a hallway with a thousand baby pictures
G G F F
And I became forgiveness I transformed into the closure that I lost
F F G G
When I learned about the tragedy of all of us
Em Em F F
I lost it when I learned about the tragedy of all of us
F F G G
Incorrigible illness in the loved ones in and out of us
Em Em F F
I lost it when I learned about the tragedy of all of us
F F G G
I walked through the hallways to a room of only mirrors
Em Em F F
Reflecting me in bondage so I watched myself get freer
F F
I let my horns grow longer
G G
I observed my skin get redder
Am Am
My soul became a hammer
C C
I started to feel better
F F
My hatred to turned to pity
G G
My resentment blossomed flowers
C C
My bitter tasting candy
Am Am
My misery was power
F F
The truth in me grew brighter
G G
My nature and my nurture
C C
No more shame
G G
No more fear
Am Am
No more dread
F F G G Am Am
I am, I am, I am, I am the truth.
