Verse:

A5
I was born into self-actualization,
F#5
I knew exactly who I was,
B5                                A5
but I never got my chance to be young.

A5
So when you lay me inside of a coffin,
F#5
bury me on the side of the hill.
B5                                               A5
That?s a good place to get some thinking done.

A5
It didn?t work out the way that I planned it.
F#5
They all seem to want to take it away,
B5                               A5
everything that I thought to be true.

A5
So it?s obvious to me somebody, somewhere
F#5
must have really done a number on you
B5                                      A5
and I know because the fuckers got me too.

"Chorus":

A5           G5      F#5
All the pretty horses,
A5    G5           F#5
all flowers and trees,
         A5        G5          F#5
they will all mean less than nothing
       A5    G5      F#5
when it all has come to be.

A5 F#5 B5 A5

A5
God sent me a vision of the future
F#5
in a dream on a Saturday night
B5                               A5
and I see no reason to celebrate.

A5
For when I saw it I wept like a child.
F#5
It came to me like a knife in the chest.
B5                        A5  
You and me and everyone, forever, to ache and ache and ache.

A5              G5         F#5
So Father, if it?s possible,
         A5     G5       F#5
let this cup pass me by.
    A5     G5    F#5
But if it can?t without my drinking it,
     A5    G5       F#5
then thy will be done.
