[Verse 1]
Em              Gadd11
I was raised in catholic school

C                   C9/B        Am7
Taught to obey that one golden rule

G         Em                Gadd11
That is, He who sits in the Heavens above

  C                         C9/B            Am7
Deserves all your praise, devotion and your love

G       Em                   Gadd11
Because he had a son who had died for our sins

    C                          C9/B            Am7
And with that sacrifice came a sense of contrition

G       Em                          Gadd11
That we all seem to feel when we're down on our knees

C                              C9/B           Am7
Looking up to God hoping he'll answer all our needs
[Verse 2]
G      Em                       Gadd11
But I tend to believe that it's all for naught

    C                      C9/B               Am7  G
And when the sun does set, all our souls will rot

 Em                          Gadd11
Along with our flesh and our bones and our blood

     C                        C9/B             Am7
Will seep into the earth reconnecting with the mud

G     Em                      Gadd11
And I think to myself, what a beautiful lie

   C                                C9/B        Am7
To waste being devout to what could all turn out
[Refrain]
   G    Em  Gadd11
To be a lie ooooooooooh

        C   C9/B    Am7  G
To be a lie ooooooooooh

Em          Gadd11
Ooooooooooh ooooooooooh

C           C9/B    Am7
Ooooooooooh ooooooooooh
[Verse 3]
G     Em                 Gadd11
Now I do not know, but I have been told

       C                                   C9/B            Am7
If you don't believe in Him, well then the devil owns your soul

G    Em                          Gadd11
But let us just examine what's below this land

         C                     C9/B             Am7
It's the story of a man with a pitchfork in his hand

G         Em                         Gadd11
Could you honestly believe in such a tall, tall tale

               C                                    C9/B           Am7
Something that sounds so make believe just like the sailor and the whale
[Verse 4]
G      Em                       Gadd11
Well I guess that this song has sealed my own fate

C                                     C9/B              Am7
Lucifer won't take me, ain't crossing through no pearly gates

G      Em                          Gadd11
But if either one exists well that's fine by me

       C                          C9/B       Am7  G Em
I will gladly spend the afterlife waiting in purgatory
[Refrain]
Em        Gadd11
Ooooooooh ooooooooh

       C  C9/B   Am7 G
Purgatory ooooooooh

Em        Gadd11
Ooooooooh ooooooooh

C         C9/B   Am7 G
Ooooooooh ooooooooh

Em
Ooooooooh
