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

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

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

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

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