C
I've seen Jesus play with flames
                                      F   F F F
In a lake of fire that I was standing in
        G
Met the devil in Seattle
                                    C    C C C 
And spent 9 months inside the lions den
C
Met Buddha yet another time
                                     F   F F F
And he showed me a glowing light within
G
But I swear that God is there
                                            C      C C C 
Every time I glare into the eyes of my best friend
F
Says my son, "It's all been done
                                        C     C C C
And someday you're gonna wake up old and gray
F
So go and try to have some fun

Showing warmth to everyone
                                       G   G G G
You meet and greet and cheat along the way"
C
There's a gateway in our minds
                                                F     F F F
That leads somewhere out there, far beyond this plane
      G
Where reptile aliens made of light
                                   C    C C C
Cut you open and pull out all your pain
C
Tell me how you make illegal
                                  F     F F F
Something that we all make in our brain
     G  
Some say you might go crazy
                                    C    C C C 
But then again it might make you go sane
F
Every time I take a look
F
Inside that old and fabled book
F
I'm blinded and reminded of
F                                      C  C C C 
The pain caused by some old man in the sky
F
Marijuana, LSD
F
Psilocybin, and DMT
F
They all changed the way I see
F                                            G    G G G
But love's the only thing that ever saved my life
         C
So don't waste your mind on nursery rhymes

Or fairy tales of blood and wine
     F               Dm            G7
It's turtles all the way down the line
   F
So to each their own 'til we go home
F
To other realms our souls must roam
F                                          G        C
To and through the myth that we all call space and time
