[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
