A

[Verse 1]
                   E
Swimming neath the continents
C#m                  D     A
Swirling through the sky
                E
Is everything I don'€™t know yet
    C#m                D
And still won't when I die

    A           E
For I am just a little thing
  C#m        D
Astounded by everything
A               E
The wet grass beneath my feet
C#m             D
The tall towers of concrete

[Pre-chorus]
   G             D
If I was God, no one would doubt it
   Am                      C
We wouldn't need church to get
         G       D       Am
The mystery that we once knew
                    A
The something we forget

[Chorus]
    E           D
I believe I'm a totally modern boy
                     A              E      Bm        D E   A
(But turn out the lights) and I believe in something
            E       D
Don'€™t wanna be some evil giant's toy
                      A       E        Bm         D E
(When it'€™s late at night) I believe in something

[Verse 2]
A                 E
My friend had his death foretold
     C#m           D
When he was twenty-six years old
  A                    E
I say the right things they'€™re no help
    C#m              D
His body slowly eats itself

[Pre-chorus]
   G             D
If I was God, no one would doubt it
Am              C
No one would suspect
               G       D       Am
That there was nothing I could do
                     A
With my greater intellect

[Chorus]
       E           D
I believe in these tiny little pills €”
                 A          E      Bm        D E   A
(Turn out the lights) I believe in something
       E            D
Mystic words on the backs of dollar bills
                      A         E      Bm        D E
(When it's late at night) I believe in something

[Solo]

[Bridge]
    G                  D
I'm swimming neath the continents
    Am                   C
I'€™m swirling through the air
      G                D
Can't see the bones beneath my skin
Am                         A
But I know that they'€™re there

[Chorus]
      E           D
I believe that my little heart'€™s diseased
                 A          E      Bm        D E   A
(Turn out the lights) I believe in something
               E            D
I'€™d like to think there are people just like me
                     A          E      Bm        D E   A
(When it's late at night) I believe in something
      E             D
I believe what they taught me in grade school
                  A        E     D
(Turn out the lights) History is made by handsome dudes
      A                 E
I believe everything on television
D
Twelve step programs are the new religion
A                       E
Gideon bibles make good rolling paper
    D
The just prevail sooner or later
A                E
I believe I will live forever
      D
I believe it all
                A
I swear to whatever
      E      Bm
I believe in something
