2153 Eliza Gilkyson
INTRO: C F C G C
Well, their brains were quite [F]large for their [C]bodies
And it lulled them into thinking they weren't [G]dumb
They did [C]guns, extreme [F]sports, special [C]hobbies
And cool tricks with their [G]fingers and [C]thumbs
And they [Am]thought they would be [G]guaranteed de[C]livered
To some [Am]guy in Roman [D]sandals and a [G]beard
So they [C]bought and they [F]fought and they [C]twittered
By 215[G]3 they'd disap[C]peared
CHORUS:
Oh, they [F]waited for their god in [C]vain
Yeah, they [F]waited for their god in [C]vain[G]
In the [C]last big [F]play of the [C]final [F]game
They [G]waited for their god in [C]vain[G] [C]
Well, they went for the [F]literal trans[C]lation
Of every text and symbol, sacred work and [G]screed
They ob[C]sessed over [F]minor vari[C]ations
Misconstrued the truth to [G]justify their [C]deeds
And they [Am]thought that all the [G]others were af[C]flicted
And those who [Am]knew the secret [D]handshake would be [G]saved
And they [C]thought in the [F]end they'd all be [C]lifted
Now they're lying in the [G]beds that they [C]made
CHORUS:
Ah, they [F]waited for their god in [C]vain
Yeah, they [F]waited for their god in [C]vain[G]
[C]Standing with their [F]luggage, waiting [C]for the transport [F]plane
They [G]waited for their god in [C]vain
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C G C F C G C
[Am] [G] [C] [Am] [D] [G] [C] [F] [C] [G] [C]
CHORUS:
Ah, they [F]waited for their god in [C]vain
Yeah, they [F]waited for their god in [C]vain[G]
When they [C]called out for their [F]god, each one [C]used a different [F]name
They [G]waited for their god in [C]vain
This is all we can con[F]clude, from what's [C]left of their re[F]mains
They [G]waited for their god in [C]vain [C-G-C]
