[Verse 1]
BmWell things change fast
But this too shall pass
Better Acarve it on your forehead
Or tatGdim7too it on your ass
Cause who can Bmtell
When the Dclock strikes Atwelve
If toEmday's become tomorrow
Or it's all just gone to hell
My friend makes Bmrings
She swirls and sings
She's a Amystic in the sense
That she's still Gdim7mystified by things
But scared to Bmask
"How can Dnothing seem to Alast?"
Cause like a Emcancer in your body
It all just goes too fast
[Instrumental]
Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm D
[Verse 2]
BmWe think too big
We think our self is one whole thing
And we Aclaim that this collection
Has a Gdim7name and is a being
But deep inBmside
When Devery cell diAvides
Well it Emsets upon the rule that states
Self-interest is divine
And cancer Bmtoo
Lives by this golden rule
That you must Ado unto the others
As the Gdim7others unto you
All for the Bmbest
Cause it's Dall that life aAccepts
So we Emkill it like a buffalo
With awe and with respect
[Instrumental]
Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm D
[Verse 3]
Don't ask BmGod
Just holler at the sky
Cause she'll Atell it to you plainly
In the Gdim7clouds that whisper by
And praise the Bmshapes
And Dpraise the way they Achange
And they'll Emteach you not to pray to light
Without you pray to rain
So I pray to Bmhands
And I pray to needs
And I Apray to blades of grass
To find forGdim7giveness in the weeds
But as for Bmhealth
I just Dnever did beAlieve
So I Emnever prayed myself
Except to those that prayed for me
[Instrumental]
Bm D Bm D Bm D Bm D
[Verse 4]
The story Bmgoes
Or the way that I was told
There was a Aking that always felt too high
And Gdim7then he fell too low
So he Bmcalled
All the Dwise men to the Ahall
And he Embegged them for a gift
To end the rises and the falls
And here's the Bmthing:
They came back with a ring
It was Asimple and was plainly
UnbeGdim7fitting of a king
Engraved in Bmblack
Well it Dhad no front or Aback
But there were Emwords around the band
That said, "Just Emknow: This Too Shall Pass."
