[Verse 1]
D# A# Cm G#
When I tell you that I love you, don't test my love
D# G#/D#
Accept my love
D# G#/D#
Don't test my love
G# A# D#
'Cause maybe I don't love you all that much

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

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

[Verse 4]
D# A# Cm G#
Everybody's waiting for the Messiah
D# G#/D#
The Jews are waiting
D# G#/D#
Christians are waiting
D# G#/D#
Also the Muslims
D# G#/D#
It's like everybody's waiting
D# G#/D#
They've been waiting a long time
D# G#/D#
I know how I hate to wait
D# G#/D#
Like even for a bus or something
D# G#/D#
An important phone call
D# G#/D#
So I can just imagine
D# G#/D#
How darned impatient
D# G#/D#
Everybody must be getting
D# G#/D#
So I think it's time now
D# G#/D#
Time to reveal myself
D# G#/D#
I am the Messiah
D# G#/D# D# G#/D#
I am the Messiah
D# G#/D#
Yes, I think you heard me right
D# G#/D#
I am the Messiah
D# G#/D#
I was gonna wait till next year
D# G#/D#
Build up the suspense a little
D# G#/D#
Make it a really big surprise
D# G#/D#
But I could not resist
D# G#/D#
It's like when you've got a really big secret
D# G#/D#
You're just bursting to tell someone
D# G#/D#
It was sort of like that with this
D# G#/D#
And now that I've told you
D# G#/D#
I feel this great weight lifted
D# G#/D#
Doctor Nesbaum was right
D# G#/D#
He's my therapist, he said,
D# A# Cm
"Get it out in the o-----pen

[Verse 5]
D# A# Cm G#
I spent ten whole days in Jerusalem
D# G#/D#
Mmm, Jerusalem
D# G#/D#
Sweet Jerusalem
D# G#/D#
And all I ate was olives
D# G#/D#
Nothing but olives
D# G#/D#
Mountains of olives
D# G#/D#
It was a good ten days
D# G#/D#
I like olives
D# G#/D#
I like you, too
[Verse 6]
D# A#
When I tell you that I love you
Cm G#
Don't test my love
D# G#/D#
Accept my love
D# G#/D#
Don't test my love
G# A# D# D* C* D#
Cause maybe I don't love you all that much
