Eliza Gilkyson - 2153
INTRO:  C   F     C   G  C  
Well, their brains were quite Flarge for their Cbodies
And it lulled them into thinking they weren't Gdumb
They did Cguns, extreme Fsports, special Chobbies
And cool tricks with their Gfingers and Cthumbs
And they Amthought they would be Gguaranteed deClivered
To some Amguy in Roman Dsandals and a Gbeard
So they Cbought and they Ffought and they Ctwittered
By 215G3 they'd disapCpeared
CHORUS:
Oh, they Fwaited for their god in Cvain
Yeah, they Fwaited for their god in CvainG  
In the Clast big Fplay of the Cfinal Fgame
They Gwaited for their god in CvainG  C  
Well, they went for the Fliteral transClation
Of every text and symbol, sacred work and Gscreed
They obCsessed over Fminor variCations
Misconstrued the truth to Gjustify their Cdeeds
And they Amthought that all the Gothers were afCflicted
And those who Amknew the secret Dhandshake would be Gsaved
And they Cthought in the Fend they'd all be Clifted
Now they're lying in the Gbeds that they Cmade
CHORUS:
Ah, they Fwaited for their god in Cvain
Yeah, they Fwaited for their god in CvainG  
CStanding with their Fluggage, waiting Cfor the transport Fplane
They Gwaited for their god in Cvain
INSTRUMENTAL:  C   F     C     G   C   F     C   G     C  
              Am G C   Am D G   C F C   G C
CHORUS:
Ah, they Fwaited for their god in Cvain
Yeah, they Fwaited for their god in CvainG  
When they Ccalled out for their Fgod, each one Cused a different Fname
They Gwaited for their god in Cvain
This is all we can conFclude, from what's Cleft of their reFmains
                            G       C  C-G-C  
They waited for their god in vain

Eliza Gilkyson - 2153

C F C G C

INTRO:

F C

Well, their brains were quite large for their bodies

And it lulled them into thinking they weren't dumb

C F C

They did guns, extreme sports, special hobbies

G C

And cool tricks with their fingers and thumbs

Am G C

And they thought they would be guaranteed delivered

Am D G

To some guy in Roman sandals and a beard

C F C

So they bought and they fought and they twittered

G C

By 2153 they'd disappeared

CHORUS:

F C

Oh, they waited for their god in vain

F C G

Yeah, they waited for their god in vain

C F C F

In the last big play of the final game

G C G C

They waited for their god in vain

F C

Well, they went for the literal translation

Of every text and symbol, sacred work and screed

C F C

They obsessed over minor variations

G C

Misconstrued the truth to justify their deeds

Am G C

And they thought that all the others were afflicted

Am D G

And those who knew the secret handshake would be saved

C F C

And they thought in the end they'd all be lifted

G C

Now they're lying in the beds that they made

CHORUS:

F C

Ah, they waited for their god in vain

F C G

Yeah, they waited for their god in vain

C F C F

Standing with their luggage, waiting for the transport plane

G C

They waited for their god in vain

C F C G C F C G C

INSTRUMENTAL:

Am G C Am D G C F C G C

CHORUS:

F C

Ah, they waited for their god in vain

F C G

Yeah, they waited for their god in vain

C F C F

When they called out for their god, each one used a different name

G C

They waited for their god in vain

F C F

This is all we can conclude, from what's left of their remains

G C C G C

They waited for their god in vain
