[Verse 1]
D C
Jesus on the phone
D C
Talking ’bout a nervous breakdown
D C
Even he don’t know
D C
How to bail us out of this one
Am
“What a mess!” I sing to myself
C G
Thinkin’ ’bout another song
Am
I wanna reach out to old Jesus
C D
Tell him I, too, feel alone
C D
And I’m here to save ya
[Verse 2]
D C
Jesus on a wire
D C
And he’s lookin’ very tired
D C
And me, I don’t blame him
D C
And I almost want to claim him
Am
So I ring a couple chords out
C G
On my Martin Double O
Am
And I see them floating upward
C D
And I watch ’em as they go
C D
Into the pockets of Judas Iscariot in the sky
C D
Up through the cracks in the ceiling
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
D C
Jesus on the edge
D C
And I feel the same way lately
D C
And he hammers down some numbers
D C
And it shakes the sky like thunder
Am C
I saw him risin’ o’er the horizon
G
And I saw him fall
Am
When the scene dissipated
C D
And the world just waited and waited
C D
For a return
