["The Science of Myth"]

[Intro chord: F#]

F#5                                                        B5
   If you've ever questioned beliefs that you hold you're not alone
    F#5                                          B5
But you oughta realize that every religion is a methaphor
Eb5  C#5             B5            Eb5         C#5        B5
    In the case of Christianity    and Judaism there exists the belief
     Eb5        C#5          B5
That spiritual matters are enslaved to history
    F#5                                                B5
The Buddhists believe that the functional aspects override the myth
      F#5                                                B5
While other religions use the literal core to build foundations with
Eb5              C#5             B5
   See half the world sees the myth as fact
         Eb5        C#5         B5
And it's seen as a lie by the other half and
Eb5            C#5                 B5
   The simple truth is that it's none of that cause
Eb5                            B5
   Somehow no matter what the world keeps turning
F#5                           C#5
   Somehow we get by without ever learning
Eb5                            B5
   Somehow no matter what the world keeps turning
F#5                           C#5
   Somehow we get by without ever learning
Eb5             F#5               B5          C#5
   Science and religion are not mutually exclusive
Eb5                         F#5
   In fact for better understanding
            B5                C#5
We take the facts of science and apply them
Eb5                         F#5                  B5             C#5
  And as both factors keep evolving then we continue getting information
Eb5                     F#5                B5               C#5
  But closing off possibilities makes it hard to see the bigger picture
   F#5                                                 B5
Consider the case of the woman whose faith helped her make it through
             F#5
When she was raped and cut up, left for dead in a trunk,
          B5
But her beliefs held true
Eb5            C#5             B5
   It doesn't matter if it's real or not
      Eb5              C#5              B5
Cause some things are better left without a doubt and
Eb5       C#5           B5
   If it works and it gets the job done...
Eb5                            B5
   Somehow no matter what the world keeps turning
F#5                           C#5
   Somehow we get by without ever learning
Eb5                            B5
   Somehow no matter what the world keeps turning
