[Intro 1]
[D][G][D]
[G][D][G][D]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
Once I [F]read a book
And this is what it said
[G]If your music has a beat
[D]Then you're gonna wind up dead
It doesn't really [F]matter if It's

[Verse 2]
Christian or not
If it's [G]syncopated rhythm
[D]Then your soul is gonna [G]rot

[Verse 3]
And this book [G]was called[D]
â??Ha! You're [G]gonna burnâ??
And in the second chapter
[D]I went on to learn
[F]Take two

[Verse 4]
houseplants
And [G]put them to the [D]test
[G]Set the[D]m both in fro[F]nt of speakers
And let the mu[G]sic do [D]the rest
The first one you play [F]Mozart
Or something [G]lovely [D]like that
The second one you play that
[F]Petra [G]or [D]that MegaDeth
Doesn't really matter
what kind of rock it is

[Verse 5]
So I took my [F]two houseplants
And I put [G]them to the [D]test
[G]Set the[D]m both in front of speakers[F]
To let the mu[G]sic do [D]the rest
[G]I pow[D]ered up [Dm]my Pionee[F]rs
To [G]let the music [D]roar
But twenty [F]minutes later
Someone's [G]knocking at my [D]door
I opened up [Dm]the door
[F]And there may neighbor stood
He [G]said, â??Man, I'd like to get
some sleep [D]if you think I couldâ??
I said, â??Man, can't [F]you see here
I've got [G]this moral dilemma that
I got [D]to get clearâ??
He said, â??What kind of moral
dilemma could you [F]have at this
time of night that could [G]make
me so angry that I [D]just want
[G]to fightâ??

[Verse 6]
So I pointed to the [G]page
[D]In that open book
That had a [G]pictured of a potted
plant, and [D]I said,
â??Go have a lookâ??
And he read
[Dm]Take two

[Verse 7]
[F]houseplants
And [G]put them to the test
Set [D]them both in front of speak[F]ers
And let the mu[G]sic do the rest
The [D]first one [G]you play [F]Mozart
[G]Or something lovely [D]like that
The second one you play that
[F]Petra [G]or [D]that MegaDeth
Doesn't really matter
What kind of rock it is
[Dm][F][C][F][D]

[Verse 8]
â??First of all,â?? he said,
[F]â??that's Wagner that you're playing
I've [G]never heard of Petra
And isn't [D]MegaDeth all dead.
And [F]secondly, emphatically,
He [G]asked me, [D]â??What's the sense
[G]Of han[D]ging out wit[F]h houseplants
when, hey, I [G]live right across
[D]the fenceâ??

[Verse 9]
And I thought to myself You know, that's [D]a good
point

[Verse 10]
So I [D]took my [F]two houseplants
And I [G]put them both back out[D]side
[G]And m[D]e and my neighbor[F]
Well, we went [G]out for a [D]drive
We talked about [F]all the things
That [G]really matter [D]most
Like life and love and [F]happiness
And [G]then the Holy [D]Ghost[F]

[Verse 11]
[G]And[D] now my two[F] houseplants
[G]They sit out [D]in the sun
As for me and my [F]neighbor
Well [G]our friendship has be[D]come
A meaningful rela[F]tionship
That's [G]headed straight to [D]heaven
But as for now We like [F]to sit around

[Verse 12]
[D]
and listen
To Audio Adrenaline

[Outro 1]
Cranked to eleven
