[Intro]
G/E G/F# Em G/E G/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/E G/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
