  Galileo's head was on the block, crime was looking up the truth    
C              G                F             G 
  And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode 
          Am        Em      F   G7 
I try to trace them to my youth
[Strophe]
C               G               F        G            C        G 
  And then you had to bring up reincarnation over a couple of beers 
           F    G7 
the other night 
     C           G           F     G       Am          Em         F   G 
Now I'm serving time for mistakes made by another in another lifetime
[Refrain]
     C            G             F          G 
How long till my soul gets it right?   Can any Human 
 C           G                  F      G 
Being ever reach that kind of light?  I call on the 
 Am      Em        D                 F          G         C 
Resting soul  of  Galileo, king of night vision, king of insight F  G

  Then I think about my fear of motion      of which I never could explain

C              G             F            G              Am         Em 
  Some other fool across the ocean years ago must have crashed his little

Am                 F 
I'm not making a joke, you know me 
       Am               F 
I take everything  so  seriously 
      Am                          F 
If we wait for the time till all souls get it right 
          G                   F         G          F 
Than at least I know there'll be no nuclear annihilation 
       C       G                 F    G 
in my lifetime - I'm still not right

I offer thanks to those before me.  That's all I've got to say 
        C          G            F             G          Am    Em      F   
Cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime.  Now I have to pay

[Strophe]
            C                  G                F    G7 
But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration 
             C        G        F   G7 
To let the next life off the hook 
               C          G          F             G 
She'll say, "look what I had to overcome from my last life 
Am              Em      F   G 
  I think I'll write a book"
[Refrain]
     C            G             F          G 
How long till my soul gets it right?   Can any Human

Being ever reach the highest light?  Except for the 
 Am      Em     D                 F          G         C     G F G 
Resting soul - Galileo, king of night vision, king of insight

How long till my soul gets it right 
     C           G                 F   G 
How long till I meet that highest light...
