This Too Shall Pass Danny Schmidt
(Verse)
Well things change [Bm]fast
But this too shall pass
Better [A]carve it on your forehead
Or tat[Em]too it on your ass
Cause who can [Bm]tell
When the [D]clock strikes [A]twelve
If to[Em]day's become tomorrow
Or it's all just gone to hell
My friend makes [Bm]rings
She swirls and sings
She's a [A]mystic in the sense
That she's still [Em]mystified by things
But scared to [Bm]ask
"How can [D]nothing seem to [A]last?"
Cause like a [Bm]cancer in your body
It all just goes too fast
(Instrumental)
[Bm] [A] [Em]
(Verse)
We think too [Bm]big
We think our self is one whole thing
And we [A]claim that this collection
Has a [Em]name and is a being
But deep in[Bm]side
When [D]every cell di[A]vides
Well it [Em]sets upon the rule that states
Self-interest is divine
And cancer [Bm]too
Lives by this golden rule
That you must [A]do unto the others
As the [Em]others unto you
All for the [Bm]best
Cause it's [D]all that life [A]accepts
So we [Em]kill it like a buffalo
With awe and with respect
(Verse)
Don't ask [Bm]God
Just holler at the sky
Cause she'll [A]tell it to you plainly
In the [Em]clouds that whisper by
And praise the [Bm]shapes
And [D]praise the way they [A]change
And they'll [Em]teach you not to pray to light
Without you pray to rain
So I pray to [Bm]hands
And I pray to needs
And I [A]pray to blades of grass
To find for[Em]giveness in the weeds
But as for [Bm]health
I just [D]never did be[A]lieve
So I [Em]never prayed myself
Except to those that prayed for me
(Verse)
The story [Bm]goes
Or the way that I was told
There was a [A]king that always felt too high
And [Em]then he fell too low
So he [Bm]called
All the [D]wise men to the [A]hall
And he [Em]begged them for a gift
To end the rises and the falls
And here's the [Bm]thing:
They came back with a ring
It was [A]simple and was plainly
Unbe[Em]fitting of a king
Engraved in [Bm]black
Well it [D]had no front or [A]back
But there were [Em]words around the band
That said, "Just [Em]know: This Too Shall Pass."
