and
now I understand, you’re God, at least that’s what you’ve said.

2. Jesus, you just won’t believe the hit you’ve
made round here,

about, the wonder of the year.
Am Em F C
Oh, what a pity, if
it’s all a lie,
F C F G - G7
still I’m sure that you can rock the cynics if you try.

So
you are the Christ, you’re the great Jesus Christ,

If
you do that for me, then I’ll let you go free,

you’re a joke, you’re not the Lord,

Get

get
out you King of the Jews, get out of my life.
