[Verse]
There may be an 'EmOm' in 'moment'
But there's very few Emfolk in 'focus'
Not the Cfirst, not the Am7last, not the Emleast
You needn't be Emwell to be wealthy
But you've got to be Emwhole to be holy
Fetch the Crope, fetch the Am7clock, fetch the Empriest
[Bridge]
Oh this Amplanet of ours is a mess
I bet heaven's the Emsame
Look the Ammadman said 'Son
As a friend tell me what's in a B7name.'
Am7Hallowed be thy Emname
[Verse]
I give you the Emstate of statesmen
And the key to what Emmotivates them
On the Cleft, on the Am7right, on the Emnail
Still I don't see a Emman in a mansion
That an accurate Empen wouldn't puncture
Go to Ctown, go to Am7hell, go to Emjail
[Bridge]
And there's Ambars and saloons
Where the jukebox plays blues in the Emnight
Till the Ammadman says 'Son
Time to go we could both use some B7light'
A7And thy will be Emdone
[Verse]
We live in an Emage of cages
The tale of an Emape escaping
In the Csearch for some Am7truth he can Emuse
But many a Emdrunk got drunker
And mostly a Emthinker, a thunker
Set the Cplace, set the Am7time, set the Emfuse
[Bridge]
The Amoptimist laughed and the
pessimist cried in his Emwine
And the Ammadman said 'Son
Take a word they'll all wake given B7time'
Am7Let thy kingdom Emcome
[Interlude]
Em   Em   Em   Em
C    Am7  Em   Em
[Verse]
The madman and EmI got drunker
'Til both thought the Emother thank you
And we Claughed all the Am7way to the Emstars
[Bridge]
The Amoptimist asked for a taste
of the pessimist's Emwine
And the Ammadman said 'son
How do you feel?' I said 'Me? I feel B7fine
Am7Lead me into tempEmtation
Into tempEmtation
I said into tempEmtation
I need my allEmocation, of recreEmation
I want a reveEmlation, in degraEmdation
No hesiEmtation, give me variEmation, give me inspirEmation

Am7

[Verse]

There may be an 'Om' in 'moment'

But there's very few folk in 'focus'

C Am7 Em

Not the first, not the last, not the least

You needn't be well to be wealthy

But you've got to be whole to be holy

C Am7 Em

Fetch the rope, fetch the clock, fetch the priest

[Bridge]

Oh this planet of ours is a mess

I bet heaven's the same

Look the madman said 'Son

As a friend tell me what's in a name.'

Am7 Em

Hallowed be thy name

[Verse]

I give you the state of statesmen

And the key to what motivates them

C Am7 Em

On the left, on the right, on the nail

Still I don't see a man in a mansion

That an accurate pen wouldn't puncture

C Am7 Em

Go to town, go to hell, go to jail

[Bridge]

And there's bars and saloons

Where the jukebox plays blues in the night

Till the madman says 'Son

Time to go we could both use some light'

A7 Em

And thy will be done

[Verse]

We live in an age of cages

The tale of an ape escaping

C Am7 Em

In the search for some truth he can use

But many a drunk got drunker

And mostly a thinker, a thunker

C Am7 Em

Set the place, set the time, set the fuse

[Bridge]

The optimist laughed and the

pessimist cried in his wine

And the madman said 'Son

Take a word they'll all wake given time'

Am7 Em

Let thy kingdom come

[Interlude]

Em Em Em Em

C Am7 Em Em

[Verse]

The madman and I got drunker

'Til both thought the other thank you

C Am7 Em

And we laughed all the way to the stars

[Bridge]

The optimist asked for a taste

of the pessimist's wine

And the madman said 'son

How do you feel?' I said 'Me? I feel fine

Am7 Em

Lead me into temptation

Into temptation

I said into temptation

Em Em

I need my allocation, of recreation

Em Em

I want a revelation, in degradation

Em Em Em

No hesitation, give me variation, give me inspiration
