C      Gsus4     F6     G7 G6


[Verse 1]
C         Gsus4           F6        G7 G6
Galileo's head was on the block
    C          Gsus4          F6       G7 G6
The crime was looking up the truth
C           Gsus4             F6         G7 G6
And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode
         Am         Em    F6   Gsus4
I try to trace them to my youth


[Verse 2]
C            Gsus4           F6        G7 G6
And then you had to bring up reincarnation
       C         Gsus4           F6       G7 G6
Over a couple of beers the other night
C           Gsus4     F6         G7 G6
And now I'm serving time for mistakes
         Am         Em     F6     Gsus4
Made by another in another lifetime


[Chorus]
    C            Gsus4        F6           Gsus4
How long till my soul gets it right?   Can any human
C          Gsus4              F6        Gsus4
being ever reach that kind of light?  I call on the
Am       Em       D7       D7
resting soul  of  Galileo
        F6           Gsus4     C      Gsus4  F6  Gsus4
King of night vision, king of insight


[Verse 3]
C        Gsus4                  F6        G7 G6
Then I think about my fear of  motion
C       Gsus4          F6       G7 G6
Which I never could explain
C          Gsus4           F6         G7 G6
Some other fool across the ocean years ago
           Am         Em        F6   Gsus4
Must have crashed his little airplane


[Chorus]
    C            Gsus4        F6           Gsus4
How long till my soul gets it right?   Can any human
C          Gsus4              F6        Gsus4
being ever reach that kind of light?  I call on the
Am       Em       D7         D7
resting soul  of  Galileo
         F6         Gsus4      C       C
King of night vision, king of insight


[Bridge]
Am          Am       F/A            F/A
   I'm not making a joke, you know me
        F#dim/A  F#dim/A   F/A      F/A
I take every -  thing  so  seriously
      Am           Am            F/A          F/A
If we wait for the time till all souls get it right
        Gsus4                 F6        Gsus4      F6
Then at least I know there'll be no nuclear annihilation
      C        Gsus4           F6      Gsus4
in my lifetime; I'm still not right


[guitar solo]
C     Gsus4   F6      G7 G6
C     Gsus4   F6      G7 G6
C     Gsus4   F6      G7 G6
Am    Em      D7       D7
F6    Gsus4   C       Gsus4
F6    Gsus4   C       Gsus4
F6    Gsus4


[Verse 4]
C        Gsus4            F6        G7 G6
I offer thanks to those before me
    C          Gsus4          F6       G7 G6
That's all I've got to say
       C           Gsus4                      F6         G7 G6
'Cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime
         Am         Em    F6   Gsus4
Now I have to pay


[Verse 5]
         C                  Gsus4               F6            G7 G6
But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration
    C           Gsus4          F6       G7 G6
To let the next life off the hook
C           Gsus4                      F6         G7 G6
She'll say, "look what I had to overcome from my last life
         Am         Em    F6   Gsus4
I think I'll write a book"


[Chorus]
    C            Gsus4        F6           Gsus4
How long till my soul gets it right?   Can any human
C          Gsus4              F6
being ever reach that kind of light?
Gsus4          Am      Em           D7            D7
Except for the resting soul... (God rest his soul)
         F6          Gsus4      C      Gsus4   F6      Gsus
King of night vision, king of insight

     C            Gsus4         F6      Gsus4
How long till my soul gets it right...
     C          Gsus4               F6      Gsus4
How long till I meet that highest light...
     C   Gsus4   F6      Gsus4   C
How lo-  -o-     -o-     -o-     -ong?
