A5
   Everybody say God is a good man
A5
   Ah, clock on the world
A5
Driving a dump truck up to the sun
A5
   A sigh in the human heart


A5     G5           D5           G5
   I look at the clock on the wall
    A5          G5         D5         G5
It says three minutes to midnight
 A5        G5           D5      G5
Faith is blind when we're so near


A5
Phar Lap floating in a jar
A5
Seas full of submarines, A.W.A.C.'s like flies
A5
Truth gets harder to define
A5
     Talking in tongues


A5             G5         D5            G5
   But the dancer's hand   grips the rail
    A5            G5             D5 G5
And fingers will blister on the 88's
A5           G5        D5          G5 
Hope drains out the side of the page
          D5         
     But ears can't hear
          F5             
     What eyes don't see
                        C5      G5
     And you can't see me 


C5     G5

A5
   Everybody say God is a good man
A5
   Everybody say 1,2,3
A5
   Set up those gunsights in H.G.Wells' backyard
A5
   I.C.B.M.'s, S.S.20's, they lie so dormant, they got so many
A5    G5          D5       G5
   Remember your childhood
A5    G5          D5    G5    
   Remember your journey
A5        G5       D5      G5
Hope is what you say and do 
          D5         
     But ears can't hear
          F5             
     What eyes don't see
                        C5      
     And you can't see me


A5

          D5         
     But ears can't hear
          F5             
     What eyes don't see
           D5         
     But ears can't hear
                 F5             
     What those eyes don't see
                 F5 
     And you can't see me
