[Intro] Dm [Verse]
Dm                         Bb
he stumbled into faith and thought,

        F          C
"God, this is all there is?"

Dm                       Bb
the pictures in his mind arose

      F      C
and began to breathe

Dm                          Bb
and all the gods in all the worlds

                     F   Em   Dm Bb C
began colliding on a backdrop of blue
[Chorus]

[Verse]
Dm                           Bb
he took a step but then felt tired

              F             C
he said, I'll rest a little while

Dm                         Bb
but when he tried to walk again

     F      C
he wasn't a child

Dm                         Bb
and all the people hurried past

                                F Em Dm Bb C
real fast and no one ever smiled
[Chorus]
Gm   F
blue lips

[Verse]
Dm                         Bb
he stumbled into faith and thought,

        F         C
"God, this is all there is?"

Dm                       Bb
the pictures in his mind arose

      F      C
and began to breathe

Dm                        Bb
and no one saw and no one heard

          F        C
they just followed lead

Dm                      (F) Bb
the pictures in his mind arose

      F      C
and began to breed

Dm                                      Bb
they started off beneath the knowledge tree

                                                F
then they chopped it down to make white picket fences

                                  C
and, marching along the railroad tracks,

                                 F   Dm
they smiled real wide for the camera lenses

Dm                          Bb
they made it past the enemy lines

                                          F  Em Dm Bb C     F Em Dm Bb C
just to become enslaved in the assembly lines
