[Intro 1]
[Am][E]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I found a small red [G]boy
in[E]side my [Am]tummy[Dm]
[C]With 3 d[G]ollars in change
and a Milky [C]Way Lite
In my oc[E]casional pursuit to find
[G#dim]something more [Am]meaningful
Than [F]yet another word that rhymes with die
[G]

[Verse 2]
I [Am]cut him out [E]and put him
on my [Am]table[Dm]
[D]His[C] shallow breathing chest
[G]would fall and ris[C]e
[E]His 'South of Heaven' shirt
was way too big [Am]for him
His [F]horns were long and sharp and
then he [G]opened up those eyes

[Verse 3]
That said "I [C]am,
I am, I [G]am,
I am the truth"
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[E]
[A]I showered him with [E]love and [Am]adulation
[Dm]One [C]day he was just[G]
as tall as [C]me
[E]I showed him all the books that I
was [Am]raised on
[F]Your Madeleine L'Engle(s) and
[G]D'Aulaires' Mythologies

[Verse 5]
And in [Am]a mon[A]tage that could
[E]warm the heart of [A]Hitler[Am]
[Dm]I ra[C]ised him up so proud
[G]and mot[C]herly
I swore [E]that I was glancing in a mir[Am]ror
When in [F]the language that I taught him,
oh god, [G]he began to speak

[Verse 6]
He said "I [C]am,
I am, I [G]am, I am [A]the truth"[Am]
"I [C]am, I am, I [G]am, I am the truth"
[Am]

[Verse 7]
[E]
And his [F]eyes became a beacon,
[G]an LCD projector
Broad[E]casting all my memories
in a [F]clear and vivid picture
His tongue became a staircase,
his [G]uvula - The knocker
Of an or[E]nate wooden door that
lead me [F]straight into my future

[Verse 8]
His [F]throat became a hallway with
a thou[G]sand baby pictures
And [E]I became forgiveness,
I [F]transformed into the closure that I lost
When I learned about [G]the tragedy of all of us
I [E]lost it when I learned about
[F]the tragedy of all of us

[Verse 9]
[F]Incorrigible illness in the
[G]loved ones hidden out of us
I [E]lost it when I learned about
[F]the tragedy of all of us
I walked through the hallway
to a [G]room of only mirrors
Re[E]flecting me in bondage so I
[F]watched myself get freer

[Verse 10]
[F]I let my horns grow longer,
I [G]observed my skin get redder
My [Am]soul became a hammer,
I [C]started to feel better
My [F]hatred turned to pity,
my resent[G]ment blossomed flowers
My [C]bitter tasted candy,
[E]my mis[Am]ery was pow[G]er

[Verse 11]
[F]The truth in me grew brighter,
my [G]nature and my nurture
No more [C]shame, no more [G]fear,
no more [Am]dread
I [F]am, I am, I [G]am, I am the truth

[Outro 1]
[C]
