Tom: A

A             E        D    E
Jesus came to me last night
A          E             D      E
To tell me everything'll be all right, he said
A              E           F#m   C#m
"Thank you for rolling the stone
           D                    E
But you're gonna have to go it alone."
A        E            D    E
His halo light up the room
A        E              D            E
But just sputtered from white to blue
         A               E           F#m   C#m
He said, "Can't keep the damn thing aglow
D                     E
Even if it's only for show."


[Chorus]
 A          D           E
(Hallelujah) From Hello Goodbye
 A            D         E
(Heal thyself) To Helen Wheels
 A            D       E
(Hare Krishna) Sing Hosanna
 Bm7        E
(Oh my Lord) So that's the deal


[Instrumental]
A    D


[Verse]
A                E           D    E
I feel like I've been here before
A             E                D        E
You know what happens when God closes a door
A            E        F#m  C#m
You think mortality's hell
     D                         E
He's boarded up the windows as well
A             E           D    E
I'm done with raising the dead
A          E         D           E
I'd rather tour with them instead
A            E           F#m   C#m
I waited too long for my wish
D                            E
Jesus Christ, I'd settle for fish


[Chorus]
 A          D       E
(Hallelujah) Mother Mary
 A            D        E
(Heal thyself) You had me
 A            D         E
(Hare Krishna) And no religion
 Bm7        E
(Oh my Lord) So let it be


[Bridge]
A         E          D        E
Turn your blood back into wine
A           E            D          E
And then forget you were once divine
A          E          F#m         C#m
And if you can't, you know it's a lie
    D      E
Goodbye my Lord
    Bm7
Goodbye
   E
My Lord
Bm7     E
Mmm, my Lord


[Verse]
               A                  E           D  E
I really wanna trade this perfect life in the sky
A         E                  D            E
To make a mess of things and not know why
A                E              F#m  C#m
Camels, needles, haystacks, and stuff
         D                                E
Come on, don't you think we've all heard enough
A            E            D   E
We've needed someone like you
A         E             D          E
Self-satisfied but also easily bruised
A             E              F#m   C#m
Hey, have you heard the good news?
      D                          E
We're gonna make you king of the Jews


[Chorus]
 A          D             E
(Hallelujah) The dream is over
 A            D        E
(Heal thyself) So I me mine
 A            D             E
(Hare Krishna) Won't be the same now
 Bm7        E
(Oh my Lord) End of the line
             A           E            D    E
(Hallelujah) I'm sick of holding your hand
               A               E       D             E
(Heal thyself) See that single sign of prints in the sand
               A        E                F#m  C#m
(Hare Krishna) I just assumed that you'd know
                    D                    E
(Oh my Lord) You've always had to go it alone


[Outro]
                 A   E D E
We're on our way home
      A   E D E
Goin' home
 A              E       D
