Caoo on 3rd fret [Verse 1]
G         D              Am7                    G
  Drove downtown in the rain, 9:30 on a Tuesday night

        D                       Bm7     Am7
Just to check out the late night record shop

G           D                   Am7
  Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane

G                 D                   Bm7   Am7
  But when I'm surrounded I just can't stah-op

G                  D                             Am7
  It's a matter of instinct, it's a matter of conditioning, a matter of fact

G          D              Bm7  Am7
  You can call me Pavlov's dog

G         D                    Am7
  Ring a bell and I'll salivate, well how'd you like that

G       D                    Bm7           Am7
  Dr. Landy, tell me you're not just a pedagogue, 'cause right now I'm
[Chorus]
G          D             Am7
  Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did

         G         D                   Em      Em/C  Em/C#  Em/C

G         D        Am7                           G
  So I'm lying here, just staring at the ceiling tiles

          D             Bm7                 Am7
And I'm thinking about, whoa what to think about

G       D              Am7                  G
  Just listening and relistening to smiley smile

         D                   Bm7             Am7
And I'm wondering if this is some kind of creative drought, because

Em Em/C Em/C# Em/C [Bridge]
Am7                  D              F            Em
    And if you wanna find me I'll be out in the sandbox

Am7                D                     G         F    Am7
    Just wondering where the hell all the love has go-o-one

              D                F              Em             Am7
Playing my guitar and building castles in the sun, whoa-whoa-oh-oh

    D                  G
And singing fun, fun, fun
[Chorus]

    Em7                Am      Em7                            Am
And though I was very heavy I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground

  Em7             Am                  Em7
I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground

Am                Em7
Somebody help me (I couldn't see the ground)

Am                Em7
Somebody help me (I couldn't see the ground)

Am              E7
Somebody help meeeeee, because I'm
