  He stumbled into faith and thought, "God, this is all there is?"
Dm                          Bb         F      C
  The pictures in his mind arose and began to breathe
Dm                            Bb
  And all the gods in all the worlds
		     F   C    Bb Dm    C
Began colliding on a backdrop of blue__ue

Dm                             Bb
  He took a step but then felt tired
	       F             C
He said, "I'll rest a little while"
Dm                           Bb       F        C
  But when he tried to walk again, he wasn't a child
Dm                           Bb
  And all the people hurried past
			  F  C  Bb  C  Dm
Real fast and no one ever smiled

Gm   F     F    Dm
Blue lips, blue veins
                        F           Dm
Blue, the colour of our planet from far, far away

Gm   F     F    Dm
Blue lips, blue veins
                        F           Dm

Dm                           Bb                     F         C
  He stumbled into faith and thought, "God, this is all there is?"
Dm                    Bb               F      C
  The pictures in his mind arose and began to breathe
Dm                          Bb               F            C
  And no one saw and no one heard, they just followed the lead
Dm		            Bb         F      C
  The pictures in his mind arose and began to breed


VERSE:
Dm                                       Bb
  They started off beneath the knowledge tree
                                               F
Then they chopped it down to make white picket fences
                                 C
And, marching along the railroad tracks,
                             F      Dm
They smile real wide for the camera lens
Dm                            Bb
  They made it past the enemy lines

                                        F  C  Bb  C  Dm
Just to become enslaved in the assembly lines


[play: F  C  Bb  C  Dm]
