If I run uphill I'm out of breath 
            C        G		F	      C
If I spend all of my money I've got no money left 
            C         G		F	C
If I place all of my chips on only one bet
C    F  G
I'm all in 

            C	    G		   F  C
And it's a surefire bet I'm gonna die 
       C	    G	    F       C
So I'm taking up praying on Sunday nights 
 	  C	         G	F      C
And it's not that I believe in your almight 
 	C    F  G 	    
But I might as well 
      F   C      G
as insurance or bail 

 	   C		   G	        F  C
Cause institution's like a big bright lie 
 	C		G	    F 	       C
And it blinds you into fear and consuming and fight 
 		        C           G	      F       C
And you've been in the desert underneath the charging sky 
           C   F   G
It's just you and God 
 	     F     C    G
But what if God's not there? 
 	  F     C	 G
But his name is on your dollar bill 
   	F   C      G
Which just became cab fare 

 	 C		  G	        F             C
For the Evangelist, the Communist, the Lefts and the Rights 
 	  C		    G		    F  	          C
And the hypocrites and the Jesuits and the blacks and the whites 
 	    C     F       G
It's in the belly of the beast 
 	F   C   G
In the Atlanta streets 
 	   F C	 G
Or up in Laurel Canyon
 	      F C   G	
The verge of Middle East 

	       C            G	     F   C	
Still they're dying on the dark continent 
 	   C		    G        F     C
It's been happening long enough to mention it 
 	C	     G			        F       C
Have I mentioned my parents are getting back together again 
          C F  G
It's been 25 years 
       F C	G	
Of spreading infection 
 	  F    C     G
Somehow we're not affected 

 	C       G           F  C
So my mom, she brushes her hair 
        C	   G	   F           C	
And my dad starts growing Bob Dylan's beard 
 	C             G	       F         C
And I share with my friends a couple of beers 
  	  C  F   G
In the Orlando streets 
 	F     C	      G
In the belly of the beast...
