Intro: E A C#m B 
 
Verse 1:
 
E          A                    C#m   B 
I've never written a book in my life 
E                A 
'Cause your tiny brains would never get it. 
C#m                               B                                     A 
Me compared to Shakespeare's like Shakespeare compared to Shakespeare's wife. 
           B 
I gave you everything, but 
E                 C#m 
I gave you simple minds so you made simple things. 
A                  B 
I gave you healthy birds, you made chicken wings. 
E                 C#m 
I gave you nipples, you made nipple rings. 
E          A 
You're not going to heaven. 
C#m                          B 
Why would you ever think I'd ever hang out with you? 
E          A 
You're all dicks, I don't need you. 
C#m              B                  A   B 
I know a million aliens cooler than you. 
 
So, fuck you. 
 
 
Refrain: 
 
 
E              C#m    Abm 
Oh my, I said, oh my, God. 
E      C#m       Abm 
Oh my, oh my, God. 
    E                 C#m 
I'm not gonna fix you. 
    Abm 
I'm not gonna fix you. 
       E      C#m    Abm 
I said oh my, oh my, God. 
 
 
Verse 2:
 
E              A                       C#m   B 
People give me money, but I don't know why. 
E              A                      C#m       B                  A 
'Cause my real collection plate is an empty cup held by a homeless guy. 
       B          E                          C#m                       A 
I made every girl different, and they're all perfect just the way they are. 
       B                        E               C#m 
People tell them different, and people are smart. 
                E 
I just made the stars. 
                   A 
You think you know beauty and love. 
C#m                          B 
Trust me, you don't; I'm the one who created them. 
E              A                      C#m                      B 
You're overpopulated, so I slaved for days making gays and you ended up hating them. 
A   B 
Fuck youuuu! 
 
 
Repeat refrain

E              C#m                    Eb                       Abm 
I created many beings, but you're the strangest that I've ever met.

You think that you're my children, but you're more like an annoying pet. 
    E                C#m           Eb                    Abm 
The Messiah made the people wonder heavenly whether he's me, 
            E           C#m              Eb                   Abm 
But I'm not into saving people who might nail me to a fucking tree. 
           E              C#m 
You're all angry, crying, sad, and lost. 
    Eb                Abm 
You worship power and wealth. 
    E                    C#m            Eb 
The more that I watch you, the less I believe in myself.

I said oh my, oh my, God.

You're looking for answers that won't be found, no. 
F#       B                      Ebm  C# 
How many answers can a raindrop find before it hits the ground? 
F#          B 
You think I kill you people. 
Ebm         C#                 F# 
You ask me 'Why?' when a child dies.
