[Intro] 
C F (x2)
[Verse 1] 
CF Earth is like a church without a preacher
CF The people have to pray for themselves
CEAD7 Animals and birds cannot help them
GEADCF Trees and plants have nothing new to say
 [Verse 2] 
CF Planets are just bumbles, floating carelessly
CF Streets lined up with boxes, so it seems
CEAD7 Lined up there forever by their buildings
GEADCF Standing in the way of children's dreams
 [Verse 3] 
CF So I made my way down this highway
CF Stopping now to rest and then to eat
CEAD7 Trying not to damage that that's in my way
GEADCFCF Lookin' for a way to be complete
 [Verse 4] 
CF That's how it ends in the beginning
CF That's how I plan to say goodbye
CEAD7 Leavin' bells just as they were ringing
GEADCF I'm not trying to make something die
 [Verse 5] 
CF My friend Al got the message
CF Sent it down that street with the boxes on
CEAD7 Lined up there forever, filled with thinkers
GEADCFCF working on solutions here and gone
 [Verse 6] 
CF I really want to make a difference
CF Trying now to help him with the work
CEAD7 Originating in the heart of something
GEADCFCF Worth keeping in the soul when it gets hurt
 [Verse 7] 
CF As we keep on building roads of boxes
CF To think inside of what we will
CEA D7 With increasing distance from the foxes
GEADCF From the wolves and whip-poor-wills
 [Verse 8] 
CF And from the crows and all the sea creatures
CF Mermaids and the galleons of horse
CEAD7 Crossing over onto waves of fortunes
GEADCF To finally crash upon the shore
CF Upon the shore Upon the shore
CF On the shore On the shore
CF On the shore On the shore
CF On the shore On the shore
CF On the shore On the shore
 [Verse 9] 
CF Rescued there by primative tribesman
CF Living in round triangles forevermore
CEAD7 Never ever in a straight line
GEADCFCFCF And always on the road to Heaven's door
 [Verse 10] 
CF Will the clouds and the rains come in torrents
CF And will the winds blow forever on the shore
CEAD7 Over the dry land between the castles
GEADCFCF Or the herds of horses grazing on the clover
 [Outro] 
CF Earth is like a church without a preacher
CF Without a preacher
CF Earth is like a church without a preacher
C Without a preacher
F Earth is like a church
CF Earth is like a church
