If I had been God

With my staff and my rod

I believe I could have done a better job
Verse 2:
G+G C majorC
If I were a drone
G+G C majorC G+G
Patrolling foreign skies

or just boiling down some bones

Verse 3:
G+G D MajorD
The temple's in ruins

Verse 4:
G+G C majorC G+G
And it feels like déjà vu
G+G
The sun goes down
C majorC
and I'm still missing you

And under my Gulf Stream,
D MajorD
in circular pools
C majorC
There's ninety-nine cents
G+G C majorC
worth of drunkards and fools
