The Greatest Story Ever Told Lyrics

Intro: E-D-C#-C
B-D-C#-E 2X
Verse: (ska chords)*
"How's your life?" "How are things?"
"great they're going okay!"
Something stale and superficial, not to ruin your day.
Something swell, something gay, with the toothiest smile,
something sappy, something happy, something smells like
bile. I don't want to burst your bubble, not to rain on your
parade, underneath my skin I'm tired, limping down the
path I've made.
Prechorus:(octaves)
The clap of thunder in my veins,
breaks on barren manifold,
still and small and so mundane,
the greatest story ever ...
chorus:
told The greatest story ever
Verse:(ska)
Are you crawling through dismal? Gray of nothing, frostbite
kills. Does this world make light of weaving, shrouds to
bury , graves to fill? I am just a kindred spirit, a runner
who is running still.
Prechorus:(Octaves-Power chords)
Welcome to the longest mile,
the most costly thing you'll ever hold
wonderful is the journey,
the greatest story ever...
Bridge:(palm mute powercords progressively getting louder)
All my dreams are slowly dying.
I can count my years in scars.
The only one that's never left me,
has carried me so very far.
I've heard it said that He wastes nothiing,
so beautiful to behold,
the Author of my hope is writing,
the greatest story ever...
