I slept through Easter yesterday

D5        E5                D5        E5
right through Christmas just the same

     D5        E5                  D5        E5  
the priest came up to me all up in arms

         D5        E5                D5        E5
he said, "devil boy what have you done?"

Chorus:  1:00- 1:16

G5            D5
for heaven's sake

G5            D5
it's only been 2000 years

G5            D5    
and I can't wait any 

G5             D5
longer for you

Verse: Play with Rhy. Fig. 1

1:26- 1:58

D5     E5             D5           E5   
the Jesuits rolled in their tanks to my front door

         D5         E5       D5   E5   
while the Capuchins held a love-in on my front porch

        D5             E5                 D5           E5   
the Augustinians kept to themselves, stuck their tongues out in a row

            D5        E5              D5        E5   
they said, "devil boy, it's off to Hell you go!"

Verse: Play with Rhy. Fig. 1

2:42- 3:15

D5    E5              D5           E5   
and so I'll sit and pray for her to call me there

       D5           E5             D5           E5   
and I'll burn that bridge a 1000 times, on the cross I bear

       D5          E5             D5           E5   
just to wonder if you're listening from a soap box in the sky

   D5     E5         D5        E5   
to finally realize my price, was it you or I?


Pre-Chorus:  3:16- 3:31

G5              D5
I'd give away  eternity

G5                  D5
 If you would come  back to me

G5                         D5
 If you would come  back to me

G5                          D5

 If you would come back to me
