E
Ribbons went flying out the window
       A5
As we drove down the interstate
E
Sex was something so brand new
       A5
It was hard as hell to wait
E
She made faces at the goddamn rednecks
          A5
They say, look at you boy.. You must worship satan
E
Just because I had the same long hair
        A5
as the jesus in all their paintings

F#5                          A
Yeah but church just made me scared of words like
E5                 D#6
sermon, faith, and congregation
F#5                     A
in a world with so many answers left
E5                    D#6
why do I need so many explanations
F#5                  G#5                    A5
to get closer to the truth and further from the sky
F#5                        A
and the static singes the speakers
E5                        D#6
like a thousand hymns of inspiration
F#5                             A
the road just winds through the canyon like
   E5                         D#6
a big black snake headed for salvation
F#5                       G#5                    A5
I'm getting closer to the truth and further from the sky

(same pattern through the rest of the song for verses and choruses)
