                             LION IN A COMA - Animal Collective
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard
Intro: E  
Verse
You can play this bit during the verse, because the keyboard chords are G#m/ E- F#/ E- E

B|----0------0------0------0-------|
G|----1------1------1------1-------|

A|----2------2------2------2-------|
E|----0------0------0------0-------|
Or just stick to E if you prefer
EWhen all this mess will get me down I will depart from Chinatown
EWeaving in and out of line, the sidewalk's full of merchandise
AMy nervous tick has got to quit, my cheeks are chewed down to the bit
EUp on the roof they're still around the hustling crowds still reach down
EI go up there and light a leaf and wish our turn was not so brief
AI'm paler than a summer blouse that's packed inside a haunted house
EI pack my bags and feel the family here is cropped by many hands
AThat dig and plant me for the spring, come dig me out my lucid brain
Athis wilderness up in my head,
Athis rhythm that's up in my head,
                                           AN.C.
this rhythm it needs to get right out of my clothes and get into my bedroom.
E
EIs there no reason it can't be the way it was, music and me?
EMy three best friends so casually just letting go so joyfully
ABut if I let my wrist get tired, but if I let my spirit cry out
EThere'll always be that fear of dying or is it just trying to divide?
EIt makes me think my dearest things are not what they're supposed to be
AI trick myself when it is hard, I've got to keep up, oh my god
EAnd hope that I will not be wrong and keep my faith inside a song
EAnd we'll make up 'morrow, which reminds me not to leave them back inside
Athis wilderness up in my head,
this rhythm that's up in my head,
                                           N.C.
this rhythm it needs to get right out of my clothes and get into my bedroom.

Ewho wants to use his aching bones
Ea lion in a coma, lion in a coma
Ewho wants to run but cannot roam
Ea lion in a coma, lion in a coma
Edon't keep a lion in a coma

When all this mess will get me down I will depart from Chinatown

Weaving in and out of line, the sidewalk's full of merchandise

My nervous tick has got to quit, my cheeks are chewed down to the bit

Up on the roof they're still around the hustling crowds still reach down

I go up there and light a leaf and wish our turn was not so brief

I'm paler than a summer blouse that's packed inside a haunted house

I pack my bags and feel the family here is cropped by many hands

That dig and plant me for the spring, come dig me out my lucid brain

this wilderness up in my head,

this rhythm that's up in my head,

N.C.

this rhythm it needs to get right out of my clothes and get into my bedroom.

Is there no reason it can't be the way it was, music and me?

My three best friends so casually just letting go so joyfully

But if I let my wrist get tired, but if I let my spirit cry out

There'll always be that fear of dying or is it just trying to divide?

It makes me think my dearest things are not what they're supposed to be

I trick myself when it is hard, I've got to keep up, oh my god

And hope that I will not be wrong and keep my faith inside a song

And we'll make up 'morrow, which reminds me not to leave them back inside

this wilderness up in my head,

this rhythm that's up in my head,

N.C.

this rhythm it needs to get right out of my clothes and get into my bedroom.
