[Intro]
C G F G7 - C G F G7
[Verse]
C G F G7 C G F G7
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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental]

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

[Chorus]
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

If we wait for the time till all souls get it right

Than at least I know there'll be no nuclear annihilation
C G F G
in my lifetime - I'm still not right
[Solo]
C G F G7 Am Em D - D F G C
[Verse]
C G F G7 C G F G7
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
G
[Verse]
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"
[Chorus]
C G F G
How long till my soul gets it right? Can any Human
C G F G
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
C G F G
How long till my soul gets it right
C G F G
How long till I meet that highest light...
C G F G C
How lo-o-ong?
