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
