[Verse 1]
G# D# Fm C#
When I tell you that I love you, don't test my love
G# C#/G#
Accept my love
G# C#/G#
Don't test my love

'Cause maybe I don't love you all that much

[Verse 2]
G# D# Fm C#
Don't ask what kind of music I'm gonna play tonight
G# C#/G#
Just stay a while
G# C#/G#
Hear for yourself a while
G# D# Fm C#
And if you must put me in a box make sure it's a big box
G# C#/G#
With lots of windows
G# C#/G#
And a door to walk through
G# C#/G#
And a nice high chimney
G# D# Fm C#
So we can burn, burn, burn everything that we don't like
G# C#/G#
And watch the ashes
G# C#/G#
Fly up to heaven
G# C#/G#
Maybe all the way to India
G# D# Fm
I'd like that

[Verse 3]
G# D# Fm C#
All the ancient kings came to my door
G# D# Fm C#
They said, "Do you wanna be an ancient king, too?" I said, "Oh yes, very much
G# C#/G#
But I think my timing's wrong"
G# C#/G#
They said, "Time is relative
G# C#/G#
Or did you misread Einstein?"
G# C#/G#
I said, "You really mean it?"
G# C#/G#
They said, "What do ya think we come here for
G# D# Fm
Our goddamn health or something?"

G# D# Fm C#
Everybody's waiting for the Messiah
G# C#/G#
The Jews are waiting
G# C#/G#
Christians are waiting
G# C#/G#
Also the Muslims
G# C#/G#
It's like everybody's waiting
G# C#/G#
They've been waiting a long time
G# C#/G#
I know how I hate to wait
G# C#/G#
Like even for a bus or something
G# C#/G#
An important phone call
G# C#/G#
So I can just imagine
G# C#/G#
How darned impatient
G# C#/G#
Everybody must be getting
G# C#/G#
So I think it's time now
G# C#/G#
Time to reveal myself
G# C#/G#
I am the Messiah
G# C#/G# G# C#/G#
I am the Messiah
G# C#/G#
Yes, I think you heard me right
G# C#/G#
I am the Messiah
G# C#/G#
I was gonna wait till next year
G# C#/G#
Build up the suspense a little
G# C#/G#
Make it a really big surprise
G# C#/G#
But I could not resist
G# C#/G#
It's like when you've got a really big secret
G# C#/G#
You're just bursting to tell someone
G# C#/G#
It was sort of like that with this
G# C#/G#
And now that I've told you
G# C#/G#
I feel this great weight lifted
G# C#/G#
Doctor Nesbaum was right
G# C#/G#
He's my therapist, he said,
G# D# Fm
"Get it out in the o-----pen

I spent ten whole days in Jerusalem
G# C#/G#
Mmm, Jerusalem
G# C#/G#
Sweet Jerusalem
G# C#/G#
And all I ate was olives
G# C#/G#
Nothing but olives
G# C#/G#
Mountains of olives
G# C#/G#
It was a good ten days
G# C#/G#
I like olives
G# C#/G#
I like you, too
[Verse 6]
G# D#
When I tell you that I love you
Fm C#
Don't test my love

C# D# G# D* C* G#
Cause maybe I don't love you all that much
