Intro: Bm / Bm / Bm / Bm
              
              Bm            BmThings change fast but this too shall pass
       D                               GBetter carve it on your forehead or tattoo it on your ass
              Bm            BmCause who can tell when the clock strikes twelve
     D                                GIf today's become tomorrow or if it's all just gone to hell
                Bm        BmMy friend makes rings she swirls and sings
        D                                    GShe's a mystic in the sense that she's still mystified by things
              Bm          BmBut scared to ask how can nothing last
             D                      GCause like a cancer in your body it all just goes too fast.


Bm / Bm / Bm / Bm


             Bm               BmWe think too big we think our self is one whole thing
       D                                GAnd we claim that this collection has a name and is a being
           Bm              BmBut deep inside when every cell divides
   D                                   GIt sets upon the rule that states self-interest is divine
        Bm                 BmCancer too lives by this golden rule
              D                         GThat you must do unto the others as the others unto you
            Bm                             BmAll for the best cause that's all the life accepts
          D                           GAnd so we kill it like a buffalo with awe and with respect.


Bm / Bm / Bm / Bm


          Bm       BmDon't ask God just holler at the sky
       D                             GShe'll tell it to you plainly in the clouds that whisper by
               Bm              BmAnd praise the shapes and then praise the way they change
            D                                  GAnd they'll teach you not to pray to light without you pray to rain
             Bm                  BmSo I pray to hands and I pray to needs
      D                                  GAnd I pray to blades of grass to find forgiveness in the weeds
           Bm            BmBut as for health I just never did believe
         D                             GAnd so I never prayed myself except to those that prayed for me.


Bm / Bm / Bm / Bm


          Bm          BmThe story goes or the way that I was told
            D                                  GThere was a king that always felt too high and then he fell too low
          Bm             BmAnd so he called all the wise men to the hall
    D                                 GAnd begged them for a gift to end the rises and the falls
               Bm         BmAnd here's the thing they came back with a ring
       D                          GIt was simple and was plainly unbefitting of a king
            Bm       Bm    Engraved in black it had no front or back
               D                                    GBut there were words around the band that said just know: This Too Shall Pass
