DIt's almost as if it was choF#mreographed
The Bmtowel, the sushi, thGe way that you laughed
AThe things you said to woo me into bDed
DThe market's my office and youF#mrs is the street
And I'm Bmwiping the juice stains Goff of my feet
And your wAords just don't seem too concrete to Dme
DWe stayed up all night making JeF#mnga Inuksuks
BmKissing slow and lGeafing through cookbooks
AOpening the doors to see how the night lookedD  
DOn the festival grounds and at my F#mplace and yours
Now I'm Bmcatching buAses, sleeGping on floors
AAnd coming to cherish hoF#musehold chores when I'm home agDain
F#mAnd you turned out to be a lGetdown

DWell now I'm on the bus and it kF#meeps getting faster
BmAnd you think you're sucGh a rasta
But you don't Aknow Mount Zion frF#mom Mount ShastaD  
DOh please God, let me wake up F#min San Fran
BmLet us not deraiAl, let us stGick with the plan
I'm going to ACalifornia just 'caBmuse I Dcan

AThe wind is my weakness and you are my crutchD  
DLet these twisting trees be our F#mknuckling fingers
Let Bmthese little birds be ouGr favorite singers
Let Athese sparks of rage be our our firebringersD

F#m

D F#m Bm

D G D A D

D F#m

It's almost as if it was choreographed

Bm G

The towel, the sushi, the way that you laughed

A D

The things you said to woo me into bed

D F#m

The market's my office and yours is the street

Bm G

And I'm wiping the juice stains off of my feet

A D

And your words just don't seem too concrete to me

D F#m

We stayed up all night making Jenga Inuksuks

Bm G

Kissing slow and leafing through cookbooks

A D

Opening the doors to see how the night looked

D F#m

On the festival grounds and at my place and yours

Bm A G

Now I'm catching buses, sleeping on floors

A F#m D

And coming to cherish household chores when I'm home again

F#m G

And you turned out to be a letdown

D Bm A G

Big volcano, small town

D Bm D A G Gm

Big volcano, small town

D F#m

Well now I'm on the bus and it keeps getting faster

Bm G

And you think you're such a rasta

A F#m D

But you don't know Mount Zion from Mount Shasta

D F#m

Oh please God, let me wake up in San Fran

Bm A G

Let us not derail, let us stick with the plan

A Bm D

I'm going to California just 'cause I can

F#m G

And you turned out to be a letdown

D Bm A G

Big volcano, small town

D Bm A G

Big volcano, small town

D F#m

Well up in Mill Valley over Redwood brush

Bm G

I see I don't matter much

A D

The wind is my weakness and you are my crutch

D F#m

Let these twisting trees be our knuckling fingers

Bm G

Let these little birds be our favorite singers

A D

Let these sparks of rage be our our firebringers

D F#m

Some find love in Berkeley, I find it in lies

Bm G

I'm disappointed but I'm not surprised

A D

I'll be gone with the wind, you were Lord of the Flies

D F#m

Today Ocean Beach and tomorrow Vancouver

Bm A G

My bank card's in Portland, my heart's in the sewer

A D

But one thing's for sure I have never been truer

F#m G

And you turned out to be a letdown

D Bm A G

Big volcano, small town

D Bm D A G

Big volcano, small town

D Bm A G

Big volcano, small town

D Bm D A G

Big volcano, small town
