Capo 4th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Verse 1
I tried to write a song, and keep it 3 minutes long
Get in, get out, nobody gets hurt
And I tried a thousand times to fit God between the lines
But Im finding out that doesnt really work
Pre-chorus
I just dont have the words to say, cause words only get in my way
Chorus
I must apologize, I have the hardest time
Finding something to define a God that I cant define
And even if I could, it would take way too long
If all Ive gots a 3 minute song
Verse 2
Ive got a hundred metaphors, and if I had a million more
I could never ever seem to sum this up
Besides, how can some melody communicate eternity?
Its like trying to fit the ocean in a cup
Pre-chorus
I just dont have the words to say, cause words only get in my way
Chorus
I must apologize, I have the hardest time
Finding something to define a God that I cant define
And even if I could, it would take way too long
If all Ive gots a 3 minute song
Bridge
I would like to dumb this down to 3 chords, or maybe 4
But Ive tried and I cant and I wont cause there will always be more
So I apologize,
I cant seem to get it right
Chorus
I must apologize, I have the hardest time
Finding something to define a God that I cant define
And even if I could, it would take way too long
If all Ive gots a 3 minute song
