Intro: G5 , E5 , G5 , D5 , A5


   E5                                   G5
Of all of us he had to know he'd never grow
     D5                                    A5
He'd never climb he'd never love like the love I know
       E5                        G5
As I was two and he was ten they carried me
         D5                                 A5
through holograms they twisted into cosmic seas
G5                C5          G5
Once was born of light like you
A5               C5         G5
Once was one but now we're two
G5                  C5         G5
When I was born of love like you
     A5               C5      G5
When you were ten and I was two
           E5                           B5
There were two monkey's talking soundin like little dogs
          C5                   G5
they were barkin and bitchin about what was wrong
       E5                           B5
In the world we were just spacemen taking a ride
    C5                       G5
The gorilla's in his human suit reciting his lines
       E5         B5     C5        G5
Singin we all we all we all turn on
E5        B5      C5        G5
we all we all we all turn off
     E5         G5             A5           E5
When gathering all we need to share is the wind
    D5                             A5
For anything to die it needs first to begin

Repeat verse and chorus

Bridge: 
A5         C5      G5            A5
In time saw your future's not burnin so bright
    C5         G5             A5
and if we too long it'll be less like mine

Repeat Chorus

Guitar Solo- E5 C5 B5 G5

End:
E5           G5                      A5            E5
Human greed, love and lies would be tricks of mine
D5                                  A5
But I was of the future, past, and present time

G5                C5          G5
Once was born of light like you
A5               C5         G5
Once was one but now we're two
G5                  C5         G5
When I was born of love like you
     A5               C5      G5
When you were ten and I was two
