Introdução:
F C
Well, their brains were quite large for their bodies
G
And it lulled them into thinking they weren't dumb
C F C
They did guns, extreme sports, special hobbies
G C
And cool tricks with their fingers and thumbs
Am G C
And they thought they would be guaranteed delivered
Am D G
To some guy in Roman sandals and a beard
C F C
So they bought and they fought and they twittered
G C
By 2153 they'd disappeared
CHORUS:
F C
Oh, they waited for their god in vain
F C G
Yeah, they waited for their god in vain
C F C F
In the last big play of the final game
G C G C
They waited for their god in vain
F C
Well, they went for the literal translation
G
Of every text and symbol, sacred work and screed
C F C
They obsessed over minor variations
G C
Misconstrued the truth to justify their deeds
Am G C
And they thought that all the others were afflicted
Am D G
And those who knew the secret handshake would be saved
C F C
And they thought in the end they'd all be lifted
G C
Now they're lying in the beds that they made
CHORUS:
F C
Ah, they waited for their god in vain
F C G
Yeah, they waited for their god in vain
C F C F
Standing with their luggage, waiting for the transport plane
G C
They waited for their god in vain
Am G C Am D G C F C G C
CHORUS:
F C
Ah, they waited for their god in vain
F C G
Yeah, they waited for their god in vain
C F C F
When they called out for their god, each one used a different name
G C
They waited for their god in vain
F C F
This is all we can conclude, from what's left of their remains
G C - G- C
They waited for their god in vain
