A
[Verse 1]
E
Swimming neath the continents
C#m D A
Swirling through the sky
E
Is everything I don't know yet
C#m D
And still won't when I die
A E
For I am just a little thing
C#m D
Astounded by everything
A E
The wet grass beneath my feet
C#m D
The tall towers of concrete
[Pre-chorus]
G D
If I was God, no one would doubt it
Am C
We wouldn't need church to get
G D Am
The mystery that we once knew
A
The something we forget
[Chorus]
E D
I believe I'm a totally modern boy
A E Bm D E A
(But turn out the lights) and I believe in something
E D
Don't wanna be some evil giant's toy
A E Bm D E
(When it's late at night) I believe in something
[Verse 2]
A E
My friend had his death foretold
C#m D
When he was twenty-six years old
A E
I say the right things they're no help
C#m D
His body slowly eats itself
[Pre-chorus]
G D
If I was God, no one would doubt it
Am C
No one would suspect
G D Am
That there was nothing I could do
A
With my greater intellect
[Chorus]
E D
I believe in these tiny little pills
A E Bm D E A
(Turn out the lights) I believe in something
E D
Mystic words on the backs of dollar bills
A E Bm D E
(When it's late at night) I believe in something
[Solo]

[Bridge]
G D
I'm swimming neath the continents
Am C
I'm swirling through the air
G D
Can't see the bones beneath my skin
Am A
But I know that they're there
[Chorus]
E D
I believe that my little heart's diseased
A E Bm D E A
(Turn out the lights) I believe in something
E D
I'd like to think there are people just like me
A E Bm D E A
(When it's late at night) I believe in something
E D
I believe what they taught me in grade school
A E D
(Turn out the lights) History is made by handsome dudes
A E
I believe everything on television
D
Twelve step programs are the new religion
A E
Gideon bibles make good rolling paper
D
The just prevail sooner or later
A E
I believe I will live forever
D
I believe it all
A
I swear to whatever
E Bm
I believe in something
