[VERSE 1]
C G C
It seems I've imagined Him all of my life
F C G
As the wisest of all of mankind
F C G Am G-F
But if God's holy wisdom is foolish to man
Gsus-G C
He must have seemed out of His mind
F C G C
For even His family said He was mad
F C Gsus-G
And the priest said, "A demon's to blame,"
F C G Am G-F
So God in the form of this angry young man
Gsus-G C F
Could not have seemed perfectly sane
[CHORUS]
F C G C
When we in our foolishness thought we were wise
Am F
He played the fool and He opened our eyes
C F G Am
When we in our weakness believed we were strong
F G C F
He became helpless to show we were wrong
F C G C
And so we follow God's own fool
F C Gsus-G
For only the foolish can tell
F C - G - Am G-F
Believe the unbelievable
Gsus-G C
And come be a fool as well
[VERSE 2]
C G C
So come lose your life for a carpenter's Son
F C G
For a madman who died for a dream
F C G Am G-F
Then you'll have the faith His first followers had
Gsus-G C
And you'll feel the weight of the beam
F C G C
So surrender the hunger to say you must know
F C Gsus-G
And the courage to say I believe
F C G Am G-F
Let the power of paradox open your eyes
Gsus-G C F
And blind those who say they can see
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
F C G C
And so we follow God's own fool
F C Gsus-G
For only the foolish can tell
F C - G - Am G-F
Believe the unbelievable
Gsus-G C
And come be a fool as well
