Here's a story of an honest man losing religion
F#m D A E
Climbing the pulpit steps before an eager congregation
F#m D A E
Then while praying came a wicked inspiration
F#m D A E
Brothers, sisters, this is what he said
F#m E A D
"Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved
(Make no mistake, despite our traits, I've seldom seen)
F#m D A E
I can't relate to you
(I can't relate to you)
F#m D A E F#m C#m
I can't relate to you"

F#m D A E
He was the kinda guy who'd always go right out of his way
F#m D A E
But more before that crazy notion leaped right into his head
F#m D A E
And stubbornly crept into every mad perception
F#m D A E
I can't deny a funny feeling when he said
F#m E A D
"Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved
(Make no mistake, despite our traits, I've seldom seen)
F#m D A E
I can't relate to you
(I can't relate to you)
F#m D A E F#m C#m
I can't relate to you"
F#5 E5 D5
Dearest in memoriam, set phasers to stun
C#5 F#5
And grab yourself a neighbor's skeleton to lean upon
E
Did you know him in life? One filled with regret
D5 C#5
So soon we all forget we ever met
F#5 D5 A5 E5
Do you know my name?
F#5 D5 A5 E5
Sing a light refrain
F#5 D5 A5 E5 F5
For a man estranged
I won't deny that I'm inclined to isolate
F#m E A D
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved
(I can't believe)
F#m D A E
I can't relate to you
(I can't relate to you)
F#m D A E
I can't relate to you
(I can't relate to you)
F#m D A E
I can't relate to you
(I can't relate to you)
F#m D A E F#m
I can't relate to you
