Verse 1:

E          A
Sittin' here on the Terra Firma

B            A*
 It's the place we were meant to be

E       A
Out here kinda lost in space now

B         A*
 Pondering life's mysteries

E       A
All of mankind worship at the altar

 Collision course with eternity

B          A*
 Burnin' out at the speed of light

E           A
Better living for the masses

Won't wash away the sins of the father



Verse 3:

E     A
Sacred Cow sizzlin' in the fire

B       A*
 As we all go up in flames

E        A
With millions of true believers

B      A*
 And their unfamiliar names



Bridge 2:

B       A
On the road to good intentions

B          D D D D D D D
Blown to hell by our own inventions

Heavy, heavy water
Won't wash away the sins of the father
Unholy, holy water
Leading us like lambs to the
