[Verso 1]
 
      E                   
Now a couple years ago I told everybody 
 C#m                           A 
That I was the messiah come to save them 
     E                       
They started lining up with babies to be blessed 
      C#m                           A 
I was sick in the lane blocking the pavement 
  E                            
I walked on water and the old kid sank 
       C#m                   A 
Turned wine into whiskey and drank drank drank 
E             C#m  A 
Bla       ooo ooo  ooo   ooo 
E             C#m  A 
Bla       ooo ooo  ooo   ooo 
E        C#m  A             E        A     
Na na na  na   na na na 
 


[Verso 2]
 
         E                                 
Now with just a couple Snickers and some cornmeal mush 
  C#m                   A 
I fed six thousand at a time 
  E 
I spoke in St. Louis 
                         C#m 
You gotta play St. Louis, St. Louis 
                    A 
It's a rule of some kind 
    E                       
The blind came to me and I made'em see 
        C#m               A 
Got the deaf digging high fidelity 
E                                               C#m    A 
Card tricks, I could do card tricks you wouldn't be     lieve 
 


[Ponte]
 
There's nothing innocent about a newborn babe 
      G#m            A 
And a few years here can't cure 
                                            G#m 
And it's not so much that you're burned out, baby 
                A     
But you finally just endure 
 


[Verso 3]
 
       E 
Now to tell you the truth 
                      C#m          A 
Lately even I start to get a little overwhelmed 
E                  
Wars and pain and poverty 
           C#m           A 
Those have been around a long time 
        E                    
But the oceans rise and the fresh water dies 
        C#m                        A 
And the hate sticks harder to your insides 
        E                         
And the cars get bigger and your smoke turns out 
          C#m               A 
And your idols fall and you lie 
          
A little better 
        A                      C#m              
And the train goes further and further off the track 
         A                     C#m        
And with each day passing it's harder to turn back 
    A                       C#m 
The godmother or the mother for a reason 
          
She will revolt 
 

Outro 
E        A E                C#m  A 
Stop, stop what you're doing

Stop what you're doing and breathe 
E                     
Eating them burgers, corporate mergers 
C#m                  A 
Speaking in tongues, burning your lungs 
E               
Taking a cold, repeating some jokes 
C#m               A 
Kissing the ring, buffalo wings 
E             
Hugging your home, internet porn 
C#m            A 
Taking a pill, riding your wheel 
E                        C#m  A 
Stop, would you do it and leave 
E                         C#m  A 
Stop what you're doing and breathe 
Stop what you're doing and breathe

Stop what you're doing and breathe 
E               C#m   A   E 
Stop what you're doing and breathe
