There are Afour whole people in this house
And AI'm the last A/G#one awake aF#mgain
And toAmorrow we'll be biting nails
And Abiting tongues to A/G#higher stakes Eagain
And I'm Dthinking if I just don't sleep
The Amorning won't sneak up on me
As Djust another yesterday aEgain
CHORUS
EBut I was Dbrilliant for just one Eday
In Anineteen A/G#eighty-F#meight
I didn't Dhave to talk, I didn't have to think
They Eflushed my sins right down a sink
Ten Afingers and ten A/G#toes, and you're oF#mkay
Yeah, I think that's what they Esay
Well, how about todAay?
INTRO RIFF
VERSE 2
I Athink the world has got my number
AOh my God, there's A/G#digits in my F#meyes
I Athink that I've been dancing 'round
The Abrightest rooms in a A/G#cellophane disF#mguise
DEverybody still remembers
AThings that I said last September
DOh, but worst of all, so do EI
CHORUS
But I was a Dstranger for just one Eday
ABorn with the A/G#cleanest F#mslate
My Dmother loved me before she knew me
EGave me a name that didn't suit me
But Ahey, A/G#that's okaF#my
I've kept it anyEway
What if Esus4I threw Eit aAway?
INTRO RIFF
VERSE 3
And to Ame God's just a metaphor
He's a Ametaphor for A/G#everything that's F#mstrange
I Atake his name in vain a lot
But AI'm not sure just A/G#what it means theseE days
SomeDtimes I wish that I were still religious
AAlong with a lot of other wishes
But DI don't think that God would know my Ename
CHORUS
But I was forDgiven in bygone Edays
When I Astill knew A/G#how to F#mpray
And Dall the words were etched in gold
On the Elittle Bible that I stole
From my Ateacher in A/G#second gradF#me
The one I didn't mean to Etake
Oh, Esus4what would EJesus Asay?

It was right before heE died
