[Verso 1]

G 
Some people say they know it, 
F 
For others it's belief 
G                                     F 
Say they'd rather know than know it's make—believe 

G 
For those that have outgrown it, 
F 
Those that up and leave 
G                                      F 
Know you can't control what's clearly mystery 

          C 
Oh, I've longed to start the fire 
   D 
So while I am still breathing 
         G                      C 
There is a revolution in the Republic of Eden

[Verso 2]

G 
Consider the lion 
F 
Lying on the plane 
G                                 F 
Watch his eyes as he surveys the pride and wildebeest remains 
G 
Though he may not show 
F 
He's the king of his domain 
G                                     F 
And woe betide the lion that tries to challenge his reign 

        C 
Well he owes and he owns nothing 
     D 
He's standing still, now breathing 
       G                              C 
In his eyes, the revolution in the Republic of Eden

[Verso 3]
 
G 
And those exploring planets 
F 
Report no signs of God 
G                                 F 
By the whirling firmament out the window of the fuselage 

G 
And this space between us, 
F 
Yet there's no "us" or "them" 
G                                      F 
Whether we were born of a bang or the aftermath of requiem 

     C 
Oh, I'm a raging fire 
    D 
I'm standing still, now breathing 
       G                          C 
Yes I am the revolution in the Republic of Eden

   C 
We owe and we own nothing 
      D 
We're standing still, now breathing 
       G                             C 
Yes we are the revolution in the Republic of Eden
