Don't hF#ave to question everything in hB/F#eaven or hF#ell
LDbord, I kneel and Dbmaj7offer you my Bbmword on a wing
And I'm tFrying hard to fF7it among your scAheme of thingsA7

My prayer flies like a wAord on a wGing
DDoes my prayer fit in with yAour scheme of thGings?
In this aBge of grand illusion you waElked into my life out F#of my dreamsB/F#  F#

Just as lBong as I can walk, I'll walk besiEde you, I'm alive F#in youB/F#  F#
