    D#  C#In the case of BChristianity    D#and JudaC#ism there Bexists the belief
That D#spiritual C#matters are Benslaved to history
The F#Buddhists believe that the functional aspects overBride the myth
While F#other religions use the literal core to build founBdations with

And it's D#seen as a C#lie by the Bother half and
   D#The simple C#truth is that it's Bnone of that cause

["The Science of Myth"]

[Intro chord: F#]

F# B

If you've ever questioned beliefs that you hold you're not alone

F# B

But you oughta realize that every religion is a methaphor

D# C# B D# C# B

In the case of Christianity and Judaism there exists the belief

D# C# B

That spiritual matters are enslaved to history

F# B

The Buddhists believe that the functional aspects override the myth

F# B

While other religions use the literal core to build foundations with

D# C# B

See half the world sees the myth as fact

D# C# B

And it's seen as a lie by the other half and

D# C# B

The simple truth is that it's none of that cause

D# B

Somehow no matter what the world keeps turning

F# C#

Somehow we get by without ever learning

D# B

Somehow no matter what the world keeps turning

F# C#

Somehow we get by without ever learning

D# F# B C#

Science and religion are not mutually exclusive

D# F#

In fact for better understanding

B C#

We take the facts of science and apply them

D# F# B C#

And as both factors keep evolving then we continue getting information

D# F# B C#

But closing off possibilities makes it hard to see the bigger picture

F# B

Consider the case of the woman whose faith helped her make it through

When she was raped and cut up, left for dead in a trunk,

But her beliefs held true

D# C# B

It doesn't matter if it's real or not

D# C# B

Cause some things are better left without a doubt and

D# C# B

If it works and it gets the job done...

D# B

Somehow no matter what the world keeps turning

F# C#

Somehow we get by without ever learning

D# B

Somehow no matter what the world keeps turning
