intro
 
C      Gsus           F6(9)        G7 - G6 
   Galileo's head was on the block 
C                Gsus             F6(9)  G7 - G6 
   The crime was looking up the truth 
C              Gsus              F6(9)         G7 - G6 
   And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode 
         Am         Em(C)/B   F6(9)   Gsus 
I try to trace them to my youth 
 
And then you had to bring up reincarnation 
Over a couple of beers the other night 
And now I'm serving time for mistakes 
Made by another in another lifetime 
 
    C            Gsus          F6(9)       Gsus 
How long till my soul gets it right?   Can any human 
 C          Gsus               F6(9)     Gsus 
being ever reach that kind of light?  I call on the 
Am       Em(C)/B   D13    D13 
resting soul  of  Galileo 
         F6(9)       Gsus      C      Gsus   F6(9)   Gsus 
King of night vision, king of insight 
 
Then I think about my fear of motion 
Which I never could explain 
Some other fool across the ocean years ago 
Must have crashed his little airplane 
 
How long till my soul gets it right? 
Can any human being ever reach that kind of light? 
I call on the resting soul of Galileo 
         F6(9)       Gsus      C      C 
King of night vision, king of insight 
 
Am          Am       F/A            F/A 
   I'm not making a joke, you know me 
        F#dim/A  F#dim/A   F/A      F/A 
I take every - thing  so  seriously 
      Am            Am            F/A          F/A 
If we wait for the time till all souls get it right 
        Gsus                  F6(9)      Gsus      F6(9) 
Then at least I know there'll be no nuclear annihilation 
      C        Gsus            F6(9)   Gsus 
in my lifetime; I'm still not right

I offer thanks to those before me 
That's all I've got to say 
'Cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime 
Now I have to pay 
 
But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration 
To let the next life off the hook 
She'll say, "look what I had to overcome from my last life 
I think I'll write a book" 
 
How long till my soul gets it right? 
Can any human being ever reach the highest light? 
Except for the resting soul... (God rest his soul) 
         F6(9)       Gsus      C      Gsus   F6(9)   Gsus 
King of night vision, king of insight 
 
     C            Gsus         F6(9)   Gsus 
How long till my soul gets it right... 
     C          Gsus               F6(9)   Gsus 
How long till I meet that highest light... 
     C   Gsus   F6(9)   Gsus   C 
How long?

*this should probably be called Cmaj7/B, but in the context, it sounds more 
 like E minor, so I'm calling it "E minor with an added C (and B bass)."
