[Intro 1]
[G]
[C][G][C]
[G]When I tell you

[Verse 1]
that I love you
Don't test my [C]love
Accept [G]my love don't test my love
[C]'Cause maybe I don't lov[G]e
you all that much

[Verse 2]
Don't ask [G]what kind of music
I'm gonna play tonight
[C]Just stay awh[G]ile
Hear for yourself awhile
And if you must put me in a box
Make sure it's a big box
[C]With lot[G]s of windows
And a door to walk through
And a nice high chimney
So we can burn burn [D]burn
[G]Everything that we don't [C]like
And watch the [G]ashes
Fly up to Heaven
Maybe all the way to India
I'd like [D]that[G]
All the ancient [D]kings

[Verse 3]
[G]came to my door
[C]They said, [G]"Do you want to
be an ancient king too?"
I said, "Oh yes, very much
But I think my timing's wrong"
They said, "Time is relative
Or did you misread Einstien?"
I said, "Do you really mean it?"
They said,
"What [C]do you think we [G]come here for
Our goddamn health

[Verse 4]
or something?"
[G]
Everybody's waiting for the messiah
[C]The [G]Jews are waiting
The Christians are waiting
Also the Muslims
It's like everybody's waiting
They've been waiting a long time
I know how I hate to wait
Like even for a bus or something
An important phone call
So I can imagine
How darned impatient
Everybody must be getting

[Verse 5]
So I think it's time [G]now
Time [C]to re[G]veal myself
I am the Messiah
I am the Messiah
I [C]am the Messiah

[Verse 6]
Yes, I think you [G]heard me right
I am the Messiah
I was gonna wait till next year
Build up the suspense a little
Make it a really big surprise
But I could not resist
It's like [C]when you got
[G]a really big secret
You're just bursting to tell someone
It was kinda like that with this
And now that I've told you
I feel this [C]great weight [G]lifted
[C]Dr. [G]Nusbaum was right
[C]He's my therapi[G]st
He [C]said get it out in the [G]open

[Verse 7]
[G]
I spent ten whole days in Jerusalem
[C]Mmmm [G]Jerusalem
Sweet Jerusalem
And all I ate was olives
Nothing but olives
Mountains of olives
It was a good ten days
I like olives
I like you too
So when I tell [D]you that I love you Don't

[Verse 8]
[G]
test my love
[C]Accep[G]t my love
Don't test my love
'Cause [C]maybe I [G]don't
[D]love you all [G]that [G]much
