E 
Ribbons went flying out the window 
       A5 
As we drove down the interstate 
E 
Sex was something so brand new 
       A5 
It was hard as hell to wait 
E 
She made faces at the goddamn rednecks 
          A5 
They say, look at you boy.. You must worship satan 
E 
Just because I had the same long hair 
	A5 
as the jesus in all their paintings 

F#5                          A 
Yeah but church just made me scared of words like 
E5                 D#6 
sermon, faith, and congregation 
F#5                     A 
in a world with so many answers left 
E5                    D#6 
why do I need so many explanations 
F#5                  G#5                    A5 
to get closer to the truth and further from the sky 
F#5                        A 
and the static singes the speakers 
E5                        D#6 
like a thousand hymns of inspiration 
F#5                             A 
the road just winds through the canyon like 
   E5                         D#6 
a big black snake headed for salvation 
F#5                       G#5                    A5 
I'm getting closer to the truth and further from the sky 

(same pattern through the rest of the song for verses and Choruses)
