Fmaj7 Am
Another Christ is on the cross
Fmaj7 Am
The nails are words, the nails are lies
Fmaj7
To make it crawl and make it scream
Am
And make it real and make it bleed
Fmaj7
And make it bleed and make it bleed
Am
And make it bleed and make it dream
[Chorus]
D Bm A
Imitation of Christ
D Bm A
Imitation of Christ
[Verse]
Fmaj7 Am
This you who lie and scream
Fmaj7 Am
You fall to dust, you fall to dust
Fmaj7
In walls of word, your words are blind
Am
You speak and you are dumb and blind
Fmaj7
The word that is your god
Am
Is you who fall so low and fall so far
[Chorus]
D Bm A
Imitation of Christ
D Bm A
Imitation of Christ
[Verse]
Fmaj7 Am
Fmaj7ly to the moon, dear, sew it on a stool
Fmaj7 Am
Tie it on the carpet, all the cowboys fall
Fmaj7
See the cowboys fat and reeling
Am
Dancing underneath the ceiling
Fmaj7
Leave the bar, the theatre's closing
Am
Make a wall of your religion
[Chorus]
D Bm A
Imitation of Christ
