[Verse]
C      G           F            G
Galileo's head was on the block
C      G           F            G
The crime was looking up the truth 
C      G           F            G
And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode
         Am         Em    F         G
I try to trace them to my youth 
 
C      G           F            G
And then you had to bring up reincarnation
C      G           F            G
Over a couple of beers the other night
 Am         Em    F         G
And now I'm serving time for mistakes
    Am         Em    F         G
Made by another in another lifetime
 
[Refrain]
C      G           F            G
How long 'til my soul gets it right 
C      G           F            G
Can any human being ever reach that kind of light 
Am             Em     D11
I call on the resting soul of Galileo 
F      G     C     G      F      G
King of night vision king of insight 
 
[Verse]
C      G           F            G
And then I think about my fear of motion 
C      G           F            G
Which I never could explain 
C      G           F            G
Some other fool across the ocean years ago 
  Am         Em    F         G
Must have crashed his little airplane
 
[Refrain]
C      G           F            G
How long 'til my soul gets it right 
C      G           F            G
Can any human being ever reach that kind of light 
Am             Em     D11
I call on the resting soul of Galileo 
F      G     C     G      F      G
King of night vision king of insight 
 
... / F G C - /
 
 Am        -        F    -
I'm not making a joke, you know me
 Am        -        F    -
I take everything so seriously 
 Am        -        F    -
If we wait for the time till all souls get it right 
Ebdim7     -        F -
Then at least I know there'll be no nuclear annihilation 
G          F       G      F
In my lifetime, I'm still not right 
 
 
C      G           F            G
I offer thanks to those before me 
C      G           F            G
That's all I've got to say 
C      G           F            G
Maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime 
Am         Em    F         G
Now I have to pay
 
C      G           F            G
But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration 
C      G           F            G
To let the next life off the hook 
C      G           F            G
Or she'll say look what I had to overcome from my last life 
Am         Em    F         G
I think I'll write a book 
 
[Chorus]
C      G           F            G
How long 'til my soul gets it right 
C      G           F            G
Can any human being ever reach the highest light
Am             Em     D11
Except for Galileo, God rest his soul
Am             Em     D11
    The resting soul of Galileo 
F      G     C     G      F      G
King of night vision, king of insight
 
How long
    'Til my soul gets it right, 'til we reach the highest light
How long
    'Til my soul gets it right, 'til we reach the highest light
How long
