[Intro]
G/EG/F#Em G/EG/F#G
(x2)
[Verse 1]
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
You can hold her hand and show her how you cry
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
Explain to her your weakness so she understands and then roll over and die
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
Well you can brave decisions before you crumble up inside
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
Spend your time asking everyone else's permission and then run away and hide
[Chorus]
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
You can sit on chimneys put some fire up your ass
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
No need to know what you're doing or waiting for but if any one should ask?
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
Tell them I've been licking coconut skins and we've been hanging out
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins and relieve us our doubt
[Instrumental]
G G/F#Em G/EG/F#G
(x2)
[Verse 2]
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
You can hold her eggs But your basket has a hole
G G/F# Em
You can lie between her legs And go lookin' for:
G G/F# G
Tell her you're searching for her soul!
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
You can wait for ages and watch your compost turn to coal
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
But time is contagious: Everybody's getting old
[Chorus]
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
You can sit on chimneys put some fire up your ass
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
No need to know what you're doing or looking for but if any one should ask?
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
Tell them I've been cooking coconut skins and we've been hanging out
G G/F# Em G/E G/F# G
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins and relieve us our doubt
