      C#                     Fm
Yesterday I talked to god we had a conversation
D#                        G#
Told him that I’m sorry I lost communication
    C#              Fm            D#
But I just, I just needed some holiness
                 C#                          Fm
I said that the things that I’ve been trying end up in frustration
D#                          G#
Life ain’t what it seems in any situation
      C#      Fm                     D#
Then he said, he said the strangest thing

Chorus:
        C#                     Fm
He said how does it feel to be human
                  D#                      G#
Does some of the best plans you make get ruined
           C#                          Fm
Do people curse you and flowers ain’t blooming
            D#

He said how does it feel to be human
               D#                   G#
If I could for one day I just might do it
               C#                 Fm
Dance till the sun comes up to my music
            D#
How does it feel
          C#
How’s it feel

Yesterday I talked to God, we had a conversation
I asked him why this life is a crazy combination
Of numbers, numbers, numbers we can’t read
Yeah for sure I got some friends but we got complications
Most of us are happy with some medication
But I could, I could really use some wings

Chorus:
        C#                     Fm
He said how does it feel to be human
                  D#                      G#
Does some of the best plans you make get ruined
           C#                          Fm
Do people curse you and flowers ain’t blooming
            D#
