[G]People you don't seem to care if [C]what you breathe is

Hello [G]God, would you [C]like to take a walk
Maybe [Em]we can have a talk,
maybe I [Am]can fix [Abaug]you up
Maybe you [G]can send me [F#dim]down
[F#]C'mon [F]God, let's go to [D]town

[Verse 5]
Hello [G]God, would you [C]like to take the train
