[Verse 1]
F             Ab                F            Ab
Oh my Mother, let your daughter dance with me

F           Ab                       F              Ab
I'd like to spin her wild around the cottonwood tree

        Bbm                 Dbm               Bbm
There's something about her eyes, I think her roots are rotten

F                Ab                   F          Abadd13
This must be the reason she wears her hair up in knots, oh no
[Pre-Chorus]
F                      Ab
This is so embarrassing

F                 Ab
Ah, we're pissing fits

Fm                         F                  Ab
Crying on our doorsteps in t-shirts loose and ripped

Bb                             Bbm
Some of them so out of style I cannot save them

F                               Ab
They'll just get whatever my salvation gave them
[Chorus]
C
Keep the weed next to the bed

Bb
Light the water, check for lead

C
Dim the lights a little lower

Bb
Hide your backbone, shrug your shoulders

C
Give the gift that fits your head

Bb                              F Ab F Ab
You have to get this turtleneck

The poor, they leave their cellphones in the bathrooms of the rich

              F                Ab       F          Ab
And when they try to turn them off everything they switch to

         Bb                           Bb          Ab
Is just another man, in shitty suits, everybody's cheering for

F                Ab                Fm
This must be the genius we've been waiting years for, oh no
