[F#m] You may be innocent or [D] polygene, babe, you may just [A] be brave in this power [Bm] of our dates,
but there's [Dm] one thing, we all [E] must find some peace [Bm] in our time.
[E] This is [A] absolute [E] reality, [A] reality, [D] reality.
[A] If I'm to speak of truth, it's this [E] absolute [D] reality.
The absolute time, [A] the absolute place, [Bm] the absolute now, [A] oh, the absolute [D] solution is
absolute [A]
reality [Bm] now.
[A] Well, now, [D] now, now.
