Verse 2
I cut (A minor) him out and put (E major) him
on my table (A minor) (D minor)
(D major) His shallow (C major) breathing chest
(G major) would fall and rise (C major)
His 'South (E major) of Heaven' shirt
was way too big (A minor) for him
His (F major) horns were long and sharp and
then he opened (G major) up those eyes
Verse 3
That said "I am, (C major)
I am, I am, (G major)
I am the truth"
(A minor)
Verse 4
(E major)
I showered (A major) him with (E major) love and adulation (A minor)
(D minor) (C major) One day he was just (G major)
as tall as me (C major)
I showed (E major) him all the books that I
was raised (A minor) on
Your Madeleine (F major) L'Engle(s) and
(G major) D'Aulaires' Mythologies
Verse 5
And in a (A minor) (A major) montage that could
warm (E major) the heart of Hitler (A major) (A minor)
(D minor) I raised (C major) him up so proud
(G major) and motherly (C major)
I swore (E major) that I was glancing in a mir (A minor) ror
When in the language (F major) that I taught him,
oh god, (G major) he began to speak
Verse 6
He said "I am, (C major)
I am, I am, (G major) I am the truth" (A major) (A minor)
"I am, (C major) I am, I am, (G major) I am the truth"
(A minor)
Verse 7
(E major)
And his eyes (F major) became a beacon,
an (G major) LCD projector
Broad (E major) casting all my memories
in a clear (F major) and vivid picture
His tongue became a staircase,
his (G major) uvula - The knocker
Of an or (E major) nate wooden door that
lead me straight (F major) into my future
Verse 8
His throat (F major) became a hallway with
a thou (G major) sand baby pictures
And (E major) I became forgiveness,
I transformed (F major) into the closure that I lost
When I learned about the tragedy (G major) of all of us
I lost (E major) it when I learned about
the tragedy (F major) of all of us
Verse 9
Incorrigible (F major) illness in the
loved (G major) ones hidden out of us
I lost (E major) it when I learned about
the tragedy (F major) of all of us
I walked through the hallway
to a room (G major) of only mirrors
Re (E major) flecting me in bondage so I
(F major) watched myself get freer
Verse 10
I let (F major) my horns grow longer,
I observed (G major) my skin get redder
My soul (A minor) became a hammer,
I star (C major) ted to feel better
My hatred (F major) turned to pity,
my resent (G major) ment blossomed flowers
My bitter (C major) tasted candy,
(E major) my misery (A minor) was power (G major)
Verse 11
The truth (F major) in me grew brighter,
my (G major) nature and my nurture
No more shame, (C major) no more fear, (G major)
no more dread (A minor)
I am, (F major) I am, I am, (G major) I am the truth
