[G]
[D]
[F] [D]
[C] [C] I'm going to sing a song called The Crime of the Truth.
Galileo [Bb] said what is on the [C] block, [F] the [C] crime was looking up the [G] truth.
[F] And [D] as the bombshells of [Bb] my daily fears [C] explode, I try [Dm] to trace them to my [G] youth.
[C] [F]
And then [D] you had to bring [Bb] up reincarnation [F] over a couple of [C] beers the other night.
And now I'm serving time for mistakes made by another [Am] in another [C] lifetime.
How [F] long till [C] my soul gets it right?
Can any human [F] being ever [C] reach that kind of [C] life?
I call on [Dm] the resting [Am] soul of [G]
Galileo, king of [Bb] night [C] vision, king [F] of [C] insights.
[G]
[C] [F] And then [C] I think about my [Bb] fear of motion, [F]
[C] which I never could [Bb] explain.
[C]
[F] Some [C] other fool across [Bb] the ocean years ago [Dm] must have cracked [Am] his little [Bb] airplane.
[C] How [F] long [C] till my soul [G] gets it right?
Can any human being ever reach that kind of life?
[C] I call [Dm] on the resting [A] soul [G] of Galileo, king of [Bb] night [C] vision, king [F] of insight.
[D]
I'm not making a [Bb] joke, you know me, I [D] take everything so [Bb] seriously.
[D] If we wait for the time till our souls [Bb] get it right,
[C] then at least I know there'll be no nuclear [F] alienation in my lifetime.
[C]
I'm still not right.
[G] [Bb] [F]

[Bb] [C] [F]
[C] [Bb] [C]
[F] [G] [Bb]
[C] [F] I offer thanks to those before me.
That's [C] all I've got to say.
[F] Cause maybe a squandered big [Bb] bucks in [D] your lifetime, [Dm] now [Am] I can [Gm] pay.
[C] But [F] then again it feels like some sort of [Bb] inspiration to let the next life off [G] the hook.
[C] But you'll see, [F] look what [C] I had to [Bb] overcome from my last life.
[Dm] I think [A] I'll [Am] write a [Bb] [C] book.
How [F] long till my soul gets it right?
Can any human being ever reach the highest life?
I call on [Dm] the resting [Am] soul of [G] Galileo, king [Bb] of night [C] vision, king of [F] [C] insight.
[F] [C] How long till my [G] soul gets it right?
Can [C] any human being ever reach the [F] highest life?
How long till my [G] soul gets it right?
Can [C] any human being ever reach the highest life?
[Am] [Bb] [C] [F]
