_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ [A] I found a small red [B] boy inside my [Am] tummy With _ [D] _ _ _
[C] three dollars in [G] change and a Milky Way
[C] light _ _ In [E] my occasional pursuit to find something
[Am] more meaningful _ _ _ Than [F] yet another word that rhymes with [G] die _ _ _
I [Am] cut him out [E] and put [F#] him on my table _ _ _
[E] _ [C] His shallow breathing [G] chest would fall and
[C] rise _ _ _ His [E] South of Heaven shirt was way too [Am] big
for him His _ _ [F] horns were long and sharp and then [G] he
opened up those eyes that said [C] I am, I am, I [G] am, I am the [Am] dream _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G#] _ I [A] showered him with [B] love and adulation _ _ _ [D] _ [C] One day he was just [G] as tall as me
_ _ _ I showed him all [E] the books that I was [Am] raised on _ _ _
[F] Dear Madeline, Le Angle's and [G] Dulaire's mythologies And in a [A] massage that [B] could warm the heart
[A] of Hitler [Am] I _ [D] _
[C] raised him up [D] so proud and motherly _ _ _ _ _
I swore that [E] I was glancing in [Am] a mirror _ When [F] in the language that I taught him
Oh God, [G] he began to speak He said I [C] am, I am, I [G] _
am the [A] truth _ _ _
_ [C] I am _ _ [G] _
_ [A] the truth _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ And his [F] eyes became a beacon, _ [G] an LCD projector _ _ [E] Broadcasting all my memories in a [F] clear and
vivid picture He became a staircase, [G] his UV love a knocker
Of [E] an ornate wooden door that led [F] me straight into my future
His love became a hallway with [G] a thousand baby pictures
[E] And I became forgiveness, I [F] transformed into the closure that I lost
When I learned about [G] the tragedy of all of us [E] I lost it
When I learned about [F] the tragedy of all of us _ _
Incorrigible illness in [G] the loved ones, in and out of us [E] I lost it
When I learned about [F] the tragedy of all of us I walked through the hallway to [G] a room
Full of lonely mirrors [E] reflecting me in bondage So [F] I watched myself get freer
I let my horns grow longer [G] I observed my skin get redder
[A] My soul became a hammer [C] I started to feel better
[F] My hatred turned to pity [G] My resentment blossomed flowers
[C] My bitter taste in [E] candy [A] My misery was [G] power
[F] Truth and me grew brighter [G] My nature and my nurture
No more [C] shame, no more [G] fear, no more [A] grudge _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[G] _ I'm the [C] truth _ _
