Frankie Cosmos - This too shall pass

Things change ^Bmfast but this ^Bmtoo shall pass Better ^Dcarve it on your forehead or tat^Gtoo it on your ass Cause who can ^Bmtell when the ^Bmclock strikes twelve If to^Dday's become tomorrow or if it's ^Gall just gone to hell My friend makes ^Bmrings she ^Bmswirls and sings She's a ^Dmystic in the sense that she's still ^Gmystified by things But scared to ^Bmask how can ^Bmnothing last Cause like a ^Dcancer in your body it ^Gall just goes too fast.

We think too ^Bmbig we think our ^Bmself is one whole thing And we ^Dclaim that this collection has a ^Gname and is a being But deep in^Bmside when every ^Bmcell divides It ^Dsets upon the rule that states self-^Ginterest is divine Cancer t^Bmoo lives by this go^Bmlden rule That you must ^Ddo unto the others as the ^Gothers unto you All for the ^Bmbest cause that's all the life ^Bmaccepts And so we ^Dkill it like a buffalo with ^Gawe and with respect.

Don't ask ^BmGod just ^Bmholler at the sky She'll ^Dtell it to you plainly in the ^Gclouds that whisper by And praise the ^Bmshapes and then ^Bmpraise the way they change And they'll ^Dteach you not to pray to light with^Gout you pray to rain So I pray to ^Bmhands and I pray to ^Bmneeds And I ^Dpray to blades of grass to find for^Ggiveness in the weeds But as for ^Bmhealth I just ^Bmnever did believe And so I ^Dnever prayed myself except to ^Gthose that prayed for me.

The story ^Bmgoes or the ^Bmway that I was told There was a ^Dking that always felt too high and ^Gthen he fell too low And so he ^Bmcalled all the ^Bmwise men to the hall And ^Dbegged them for a gift to end the ^Grises and the falls And here's the ^Bmthing they ^Bmcame back with a ring It was ^Dsimple and was plainly unbe^Gfitting of a king Engraved in ^Bmblack it ^Bmhad no front or back But there were ^Dwords around the band that said just ^Gknow: This Too Shall Pass
