C                 F     C  F C
God so loved the idiot boy

F                      G       C       F C
He gave him a pair of eyes to explore

F                   G        Am 
Gave him a pair of hands to destroy

     Dm7                G    
Any good thing that he found

          C                 F     C    F C
He said ”Put this kid in a candy store.

F            G               C     F C
Let him run around until he drops"

F                 G               Am 
Then just like a bull in a china shop

      Dm7                 G
Everything came crashing down

F       C         G     C
God so loved the idiot boy

E                              Am
That he filled the night with dreams

     A     Dm7
Til dusty sunlight beams

                  G
Danced upon the floor

E                       Am
Gave him a solo in the choir

       A        Dm7
Where songs of wild desire

                        G
Were all his voice was for

G     
Lo lo lo lo lo lo

C                 F     C
God so loved the idiot world

F                  G      C          F C
Give His his only son to kick around

F              G              Am
That was long ago in another town

          Dm7              G
It could use a good laugh now

F       C         G     C
God so loved the idiot world
Chorus
C                 F     C    F C
God so loved the idiot boy

F                   G                  C   F C
He gave him coffee grounds in a paper cup

F                  G                   Am      
And a reason everyday to keep getting up

      Dm7                  G
In a world that drags you down

F       C         G     C
God so loved the idiot boy X3
