Capo 2

    Em                  Bm          G                  C 
I'm writing to you from Earth, Star-date twenty twenty four
       Em               Bm      G                    C
In the middle of an ocean and I can't hardly see the shore
                   Am
It's a hard way to find out you don't wanna be a sailor
         C                                                 Am                         C
Halfway 'cross in your mother's trailer, what I'd do to be certain, what I'd do to be certain, ohh
 
Em  C  G  Am
Em  C  G  Am
Em  C  G  Am
Em  C  G

            Em                       Bm               G                             C   
I heard the quasi-psychedelic jester gladiator on his compound in the flower of the Mexican war
         Em                        Bm                       G                       C
You'll become what you hate if you seek to replace what you hate I've never seen it more
                   Am
It's a hard way to find you don't wanna be a horn
                     C                                                   Am                         C
When they're already blowing in the middle of a storm, what I'd do to be certain, what I'd do to be certain, ohh

 

Chorus:
          Em                C                 Am 
There's a light beneath the curtain where the shadows dance
        Em               C                 Am
I can't know it, I can't trust it, I can't take the chance
             Em        C     G        Am
Somedays the sun comes up in spite of me
          Em   C    G       Am                    C                          Am
I'm gonna find it inside of me, what I'd do to be certain, what I'd do to be certain uhhhhh-a

Em  C  G  Am
Em  C  G  Am
Em  C  G  Am
Em  C  G

 
I see the hate has some pep in it's step, I would too with that big blank check
All the back assed preachers out in Oklahoma, gettin' high and stoned on their own aroma
It's a hard way to find out it ain't about love
That fear is a comfort, fits like a glove, what I'd do to be certain, what I'd do to be certain, Uhhhh

 
Chorus:
          Em                C                 Am
There's a light beneath the curtain where the shadows dance
        Em            C                 Am
I can't know, I can't trust it, I can't take the chance
             Em        C     G        Am
Somedays the sun comes up in spite of me
          Em   C    G       Am
I'm gonna find it inside of me

          Em                C                 Am
There's a light beneath the curtain where the shadows dance
        Em               C                 Am
I can't know it, I can't trust it, I can't take the chance
             Em        C     G        Am
Somedays the sun comes up in spite of me
          Em   C    G       Am                    C                          Am
I'm gonna find it inside of me, what I'd do to be certain, what I'd do to be certain uhhhhh-a
