He was big in Galilee

A
We were walkin' in the desert trading big hits from a bong

They said it was 40 days it didn't seem that long
      D
I was trying to talk him out of such a pointless sacrifice

But watching him die

Was truly heartbreakin'
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
A
Jesus descended I guess you'd call it that
A
I'm down here, baby what the hell you lookin' at?
  D
I sometimes wonder if we'd stay friends
A
How am I to change the way this party ends?
  E
I know you all believe that Jesus was divine

Jesus was an atheist
   E
He was a friend of mine
