Intro: Gmaj G5/F# Em G6/add9 G5/F# G

Gmaj G5/F# Em

You can hold her hand

G6/add9 G5/F# G

and show her how you cry

Gmaj G5/F# Em

Explain to her your weakness so she understands

G6/add9 G5/F# G

And then roll over and die

Gmaj G5/F# Em

You can brave decisions

G6/add9 G5/F# G

Before you crumble up inside

Gmaj G5/F# Em

Spend your time asking everyone else's permission

G6/add9 G5/F# G

And then run away and hide

Gmaj G5/F# Em

You can sit on chimneys

G6/add9 G5/F# G

And put some fire up your ass

Gmaj G5/F# Em

No need to know what you're doing or waiting for

G6/add9 G5/F# G

But if anyone should ask?

Gmaj G5/F# Em

Tell them I've been licking coconut skins

G6/add9 G5/F# G

and we've been hanging out

Gmaj G5/F# Em

Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins

G6/add9 G5/F# G

And relieve us our doubt

Bridge: Gmaj G5/F# Em G6/add9 G5/F# G

Same chord pattern…

You can hold her eggs

But your basket has a hole

You can lie between her legs

And go lookin' for:

Tell her you're searching for her soul!

You can wait for ages

And watch your compost turn to coal

But time is contagious:

Everybody's getting old.

You can sit on chimneys

And put some fire up your ass!

No need to know

What you're doing or looking for:

But if anyone should ask?

Tell them I've been cooking coconut skins

And we've been hanging out!

Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins

And relieve us our doubt.
