I slept through Easter yesterday

D9/F#        Em7                D9/F#        Em7
right through Christmas just the same

     D9/F#        Em7                  D9/F#        Em7  
the priest came up to me all up in arms

         D9/F#        Em7                D9/F#        Em7
he said, "devil boy what have you done?"

We're gonna to blow you're house in

G   D9

G          D9

Chorus:  1:00- 1:16

G            D5/A
for heaven's sake

G            D5/A
it's only been 2000 years

G            D5/A    
and I can't wait any 

G             D5/A
longer for you

Verse: Play with Rhy. Fig. 1

1:26- 1:58

D9/F#     Em7             D9/F#           Em7   
the Jesuits rolled in their tanks to my front door

         D9/F#         Em7       D9/F#   Em7   
while the Capuchins held a love-in on my front porch

        D9/F#             Em7                 D9/F#           Em7   
the Augustinians kept to themselves, stuck their tongues out in a row

            D9/F#        Em7              D9/F#        Em7   
they said, "devil boy, it's off to Hell you go!"

Verse: Play with Rhy. Fig. 1

2:42- 3:15

D9/F#    Em7              D9/F#           Em7   
and so I'll sit and pray for her to call me there

       D9/F#           Em7             D9/F#           Em7   
and I'll burn that bridge a 1000 times, on the cross I bear

       D9/F#          Em7             D9/F#           Em7   
just to wonder if you're listening from a soap box in the sky

   D9/F#     Em7         D9/F#        Em7   
to finally realize my price, was it you or I?


Pre-Chorus:  3:16- 3:31

G            D5/A
 for heaven's  sake

G              D5/A
I'd give away  eternity

G                  D5/A
 If you would come  back to me

G                         D5/A
 If you would come  back to me

G                          D5/A
 If you would come  back to me

G                          D5/A
 If you would come back to me
