[Intro]

Introducing Metamodern Sounds in Country Music

[Verse 1]
---------------------
          E
I've seen Jesus play with flames
                                      A
In a lake of fire that I was standing in
        B7
Met the devil in Se attle
                                    E
And spent 9 months inside the lions den
Met Buddha yet another time
                                     A
And he showed me a glowing light within
B7
But I swear that God is there
                                         E
Every time I glare in the eyes of my best friend

[Chorus]
---------------------
A
Says my son, "It's all been done
                                        E
And someday you're gonna wake up old and gray
   A
So go and try to have some fun
Showing warmth to everyone
                                       B7
You meet and greet and cheat along the way"

[Verse 2]
---------------------
          E
There's a gateway in our minds
                                                A
That leads somewhere out there, far beyond this plane
      B7
Where reptile aliens made of light
                                   E
Cut you open and pull out all your pain
Tell me how you make illegal
                                  A
Something that we all make in our brain
     B7
Some say you might go crazy
                                   E
But then again it might make you go sane

[Bridge]
---------------------
A
Every time I take a look
Inside that old and fabled book
I'm blinded and reminded of
                                       E
The pain caused by some old man in the sky
A
Marijuana, LSD
Psilocybin, and DMT
They all changed the way I see
                                             B7
But love's the only thing that ever saved my life

[Verse 3]
---------------------
         E
So don't waste your mind on nursery rhymes
Or fairy tales of blood and wine
     A               G#m          F#m
It's turtles all the way down the line

[Outro]
---------------------
      A
So to each their own 'til we go home
To other realms our souls must roam
                                         B7        E
To and through the myth that we all call space and time
