Turtles All The Way Down
Sturgill Simpson
Key: E
Verse:
E
I've seen Jesus play with flames, in a lake of fire
A Asus4 A Asus4
That I was standing in
B7
Met the devil in Seattle
E Esus4 E Esus4
And spent nine months inside the lions... den
E
Met Buddha yet another time
A Asus4 A Asus4
And he showed me the glowing light within
B7
But I swear that God is there, every time I glare
E Esus4 E Esus4
Into the eyes of my best... friend
Refrain:
A
Says my son, it's all been done
E Esus4 E Esus4
Someday you're gonna wake up old and... gray
A
So go and try to have some fun, showing warmth to everyone
B7 (walk down)
You meet and greet... and cheat along the way
E
There's a gateway in our minds that leads somewhere out there
A Asus4 A Asus4
Far beyond this plane
B7
Where reptile aliens made of light
E Esus4 E Esus4
Cut you open, pull out all your pain
E
Tell me how you make illegal
A Asus4 A Asus4
Something that we all make in our brain
B7
Some say you might go crazy
E Esus4 E Esus4
Then again, it might make you go... sane
A
Every time I... take a look... inside that old and... fabled book
A
I'm blinded and... reminded of...
E Esus4 E Esus4
The pain caused by some old man in the sky
A
Marijuana... LSD... psilocybin... DMT...
A
They all changed... the way I see...
A B7 (walk down)
But love's the only thing... that ever saved my life
E
So, don't waste your mind on nursery rhymes or fairy tales of blood and wine
A A/G# F#m
It's turtles all the way down the line
A
So to each their own til' we go home... to other realms our souls must roam
A B7 E
To and through... the myth that... we all call... space and time
(let final chord ring)
