[Verse 1]
E       A             Bm          A
After I died, and the make-up had dried,
       E          Bm    A    E
I went back to my place,
E            A            Bm       A           E        Bm    A  E
No moon that night, but a heavenly light shone--- on my face,
         E              A
Still, I thought it was odd,
          Bm         A           E        Bm   A    E
There was no sign of God just to usher me in,
       E              A             Bm          A
Then a voice from a - bove, sugar - coated with love,
       E           Bm    A    E
Said, "Let us be - gin!"

[Chorus]
           E          A           Bm    A
You got to fill out a form first,

You got to fill out a form first,
             E           Bm     A    E
And then you wait in the line

[Verse 2]
        E          A             Bm         A
Okay, a new kid in school got to follow the rule,
           E               Bm     A     E
You got to learn the rou - tine,
               E         A               Bm       A
Woh, there's a girl over there, with the sunshiny hair,
       E          Bm     A    E
Like a Homecoming Queen,
         E             A            Bm       A
I said, "Hey, what you say?  It's a glorious day,
       E        Bm            A       E
By the way, how long you been dead?
      E          A         Bm         A
Maybe you, maybe me, maybe baby makes three!"
        E              Bm    A    E
But she just shook her head

[Chorus]
           E          A           Bm    A
You got to fill out a form first,

[Verse 3]
E          A          Bm      A          E         Bm    A   E
Buddah and Moses, and all the noses from narrow to flat,
       E            A             Bm               A
Had to stand in the line, just to glimpse the di - vine,
         E           Bm    A    E
What'cha think about that?
         E              A         Bm         A
Well, it seems like our fate's to suffer and wait...
           E            Bm    A    E
...for the knowledge we seek,
     E            A            Bm          A
It's all his de - sign, no one cuts in the line,
       E            Bm      A     E
No one here likes a sneak

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
E         A            Bm        A
After you climb up the ladder of time,
    E           Bm    A    E
The Lord God is near,
E           A            Bm          A
    Face to face, in the vastness of space,
     E             Bm    A    E
Your words disap - pear,
        E         A              Bm       A
And you feel like swimming in an ocean of love,
        E          Bm     A     E
And the current is strong,
    E             A              Bm          A
But all that re - mains when you try to ex - plain...
        E           Bm    A    E
...Is a fragment of song

[Verse 5]
              E              A      Bm     A
