oh...
one of these nights at about twelve o'clock
this whole earth's gonna reel and rock...
things thay'll tremble and cry for pain
for the Lord's gonna come in his heavenly airplane.

F#m D A E
What if God was one of us?
 
F#m D A E
Just a slob like one of us?
 
F#m D A E F#m D A E
Just a stranger on the bus trying to make his way home
 
If God had a face, what would it look like
And would you want to see?
If seeing meant that you would have to believe,
In things like heaven and in Jesus and the saints and all the prophets
 
Am E F#m
He's tryin'to make his way home...
Like up to heaven all alone...
Nobody calling on the phone...
Except for the Pope, maybe in Rome.
