[A]Gallil[E]eo's head was [D]on the b[E]lock
[A]His crime was l[E]ookin' up the t[D]ruth[E]
[A]And as the b[E]ombshells of my [D]daily fears expl[E]ode
I try to [F#m7]trace them [D]to my [E]youth[D]

[A]And then you h[E]ad to bring up [D]reincarnation[E]
Over a c[A]ouple of [E]beers the other [D]night[E]
And [A]now I'm serving [E]time for mis[D]takes
[E]Made by an[F#m7]other in an[E]other life[D]time[E]

Chorus:

How [A]long 'til my [E]soul gets it [D]right
Can [E]any human [A]being ever r[E]each that kind of [D]light
I [E]call on the [F#m7]resting [C#m7]soul of [B7]Gallileo
King of [D]night vision,[E] king of i[A]nsight[E] [D] [E]

Second Verse:

Then I think about my fear of motion
Which I never could explain
Some other fool across the ocean years ago
Must have crashed his little airplane

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

[F#m7]I'm not makin' a [D]joke
You know me I take [B7]everything so [D]seriously
If we [F#m7]wait for the time 'til our [B7]souls get it right
Then at [E]least I know there'll [D]be
No nucle[E]ar anihi[D]lation in my [A]lifetime
[E]I'm still not [D]right[E]

Instrumental:

[A] [E] [D] [E] [F#m7] [C#m7] [B7] [B7] [D] [E]

Last Verse:

I offer thanks to those before me
That's all I have to say
'Cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime
Now I have to pay
But then again it feels like
Some sort of inspiration
To let the last life off the hook
Or (s)he'll say look what I've had to overcome from my last life
I think I'll write a book

Last Chorus (variation on lyrics):

How long 'til my soul gets it right
Can any human being ever reach their highest light
Except for Gallileo - God rest his soul
King of night vision, king of insight
How [A]long[E] [D] [E]
How [A]long[E] [D] [E]
How [A]long..[E]
