Green Mind  (J. Mascis)
  C#mI picture thinF#gs a certain wEay
  And then go baG#ck to it another C#mday
  In greeF#n minds, it's okayA  
  C#m'Cos you kF#now where you're gonna beE  
  Alls you havG#e to do is coC#mme with me
  It's cF#ool, they're probably Aasleep
  On the ouC#mtsideF#  
  It's where they aC#mlways hideF#  
  Come to my C#mside, and I'll inF#troduce you toA  
  Some of their C#mkindF#  
  I know you alwC#mays triedF#  
  Now it's your C#mtime
  To take in F#their point of viewA  
  No it's nothing Bnew
  EI've been bouncing off the wallsG#m  
  I can't hang with them for longC#m  
  They're coF#ol, but I need yoAu
  EOn a certain level I think they're greaG#mt
  But on another I can't relatC#me
  To aF#nything they Ado
  On the outC#msideF#  
  Might be with theC#mm tonightF#  
  Unless you decC#mide to call
  TF#hen I'll check out yAouB  
  C#mHangin' heaF#vy's such a routinEe
  I've just begG#un to forget
  WC#mhy I seldom trF#y to break out of theiAr scene
  C#mNow I've gotF#ta work on yoEu
  So the froG#gs'll hang
  They'll alC#mways be hangingF#  
  Now we're herAe, what do we do?B  
  EI've been sorting through the proseG#m  
  Countin' "your"s, "I"s, "they'll"s and "thoseC#m"
  Can you F#help move it aloAng?
  EI've been picking through my thoughG#mts
  It's a shame my judgement rC#mots
  I sF#ure feel where I belonAg
(break)
  On the outsC#mideF#  
  Well, it'll be C#mawhileF#  
  I've gotta uC#mnfry
  'fore I pF#ick it up with yAou, help mBe
  C#mDo I neF#ed that stable carEe?
  DonG#'t I know that theyC#m'll be there?
  Does tF#hat count now that you've apApeared?
  C#mOr do I neF#ed that stable coEre?
  Or do G#I jump for someC#mthing more?

Green Mind (J. Mascis)

C#m F# E

I picture things a certain way

G# C#m

And then go back to it another day

F# A

In green minds, it's okay

C#m F# E

'Cos you know where you're gonna be

G# C#m

Alls you have to do is come with me

F# A

It's cool, they're probably asleep

C#m F#

On the outside

C#m F#

It's where they always hide

C#m F# A

Come to my side, and I'll introduce you to

C#m F#

Some of their kind

C#m F#

I know you always tried

C#m

Now it's your time

F# A

To take in their point of view

No it's nothing new

E G#m

I've been bouncing off the walls

C#m

I can't hang with them for long

F# A

They're cool, but I need you

E G#m

On a certain level I think they're great

C#m

But on another I can't relate

F# A

To anything they do

C#m F#

On the outside

C#m F#

Might be with them tonight

C#m

Unless you decide to call

F# A B

Then I'll check out you

C#m F# E

Hangin' heavy's such a routine

I've just begun to forget

C#m F# A

Why I seldom try to break out of their scene

C#m F# E

Now I've gotta work on you

So the frogs'll hang

C#m F#

They'll always be hanging

A B

Now we're here, what do we do?

E G#m

I've been sorting through the prose

C#m

Countin' "your"s, "I"s, "they'll"s and "those"

F# A

Can you help move it along?

E G#m

I've been picking through my thoughts

C#m

It's a shame my judgement rots

F# A

I sure feel where I belong

(break)

C#m F#

On the outside

C#m F#

Well, it'll be awhile

C#m

I've gotta unfry

F# A B

'fore I pick it up with you, help me

C#m F# E

Do I need that stable care?

G# C#m

Don't I know that they'll be there?

F# A

Does that count now that you've appeared?

C#m F# E

Or do I need that stable core?

G# C#m

Or do I jump for something more?

F# A B

Are you all that I fear?

E G#m

I've been picking through my thoughts

C#m

It's a shame my judgement rots

F# A

And I sure feel where I belong

E G#m

It's a call that's tough to make

C#m

It could be a big mistake

F# A

Can't you help move it along?

E G#m

If I keep stewin' bout how I feel

Eventually I'll split

C#m F#

Then I won't have to deal

Sounds like a plan

E G#m

It's kind of lame to let it slide

C#m

Knowing either way I haven't tried

F# A

Can't figure out where it all stands

C#m F#

In the green mindThanks to the original poster.

Peace,
