[Intro]
  A    C#m    F#m    E(x2)
[Verse 1]
  AI saw a C#mcigarette conDtendF#m  
It was the C#smell of death that kept Dstrolling in
  AMaybe that C#mhenna'd back of yoDursF#m  
That held me C#back, bEack from keeping score
[Chorus]
AThere goes that C#mmoonboy
Looking Djungly
With all his Eleaves a-growing
  ASplit down that C#mlong back
He would've Dthought that
If you Egot to know him
  ATrue blue with your C#mfists up
You little Dkiss up
Wishin' Ethings were heavy
  AThat's fine in the C#mend though
Where'd all our Dfriends go
We can Edip if you're ready
[Interlude]
  A    C#m    F#m    E(x2)
[Verse 2]
  AI bet you C#mtake me for a F#mfoolE  
  ANothing like, like C#mrules the cool senF#msation of Pollock and EJules
  ASome weird aC#mbandon in shF#meetsE  
  AThough the tongue C#mtastes good
My F#mgrammar's falling Efrom the cheeks
[Chorus]
AThere goes that C#mmoonboy
Looking Djungly
With all his Eleaves a-growing
  ASplit down that C#mlong back
He would've Dthought that
If you Egot to know him
  ATrue blue with your C#mfists up
You little Dkiss up
Wishin' Ethings were heavy
  AThat's fine in the C#mend though
Where'd all our Dfriends go
We can Edip if you're ready

[Intro]

A C#m F#m E

(x2)

[Verse 1]

A C#m D F#m

I saw a cigarette contend

C# D

It was the smell of death that kept strolling in

A C#m D F#m

Maybe that henna'd back of yours

C# E

That held me back, back from keeping score

[Chorus]

A C#m

There goes that moonboy

Looking jungly

With all his leaves a-growing

A C#m

Split down that long back

He would've thought that

If you got to know him

A C#m

True blue with your fists up

You little kiss up

Wishin' things were heavy

A C#m

That's fine in the end though

Where'd all our friends go

We can dip if you're ready

[Interlude]

A C#m F#m E

(x2)

[Verse 2]

A C#m F#m E

I bet you take me for a fool

A C#m F#m E

Nothing like, like rules the cool sensation of Pollock and Jules

A C#m F#m E

Some weird abandon in sheets

A C#m

Though the tongue tastes good

F#m E

My grammar's falling from the cheeks

[Chorus]

A C#m

There goes that moonboy

Looking jungly

With all his leaves a-growing

A C#m

Split down that long back

He would've thought that

If you got to know him

A C#m

True blue with your fists up

You little kiss up

Wishin' things were heavy

That's fine in the end though

Where'd all our friends go

We can dip if you're ready

[Pre-Chorus]

A C#m D

There's somethin' fiction 'bout the way that reality's going

A C#m F#m

Seems like the chakra's playing hopscotch

Anxiety growing

A C#m D

Some cordial framework of the sunset; A yellow made out of gray

A C#m D

My bones are tired of the body that woke me up today

[Chorus]

A C#m

There goes that moonboy

Looking jungly

With all his leaves a-growing
