he stumbled into faith and thought ,
F C
“god , this is all there is?”
Dm A#
the pictures in his mind arose

and began to breathe

and all the gods in all the worlds
F Em Dm A# C
began colliding on a backdrop of blue

Dm A#
he took a step but then felt tired
F C
he said , i’ll rest a little while

but when he tried to walk again

he wasn’t a child
Dm A#
and all the people hurried past
F Em Dm B C
real fast and no one ever smiled

“god , this is all there is?”
Dm A#
the pictures in his mind arose
F C
and began to breathe
Dm A#
and no one saw and no one heard
F C
they just followed lead
Dm ( F ) A#
the pictures in his mind arose
F C
and began to breed

Dm A#
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 smile real wide for the camera lenses
Dm A#
they made it past the enemy lines
F Am Dm B C . . . F Am Dm B C
just to become enslaved in the assembly lines
