Am C Am C I've done myself an impossible crime Am C G Dsus Had to paint myself a hole and fall inside Am C Am C If it's far enough in sight and rhyme Am C G Dsus C I get to wear another dress and count in time G Dsus C Oh, won't you do me the favor, man, G Dsus C Of a giving mind, G Dsus C A polymorphing opinion here, G Dsus And your vague outline,

Am C G Dsus
Am C Am C I'll find myself another burning gate Am C G Dsus A pretty face, a vague idea I can't relate Am C Am C And this is get what you get for pulling pins Am C G Dsus C Out of the hole inside the hole you're in G Dsus C It's like I'm pressed on the handle bars G Dsus C Of a blind man's bike G Dsus C No straws to grab, just the rushing wind G Dsus On the rolling mind C La la la la laa

Dsus C G They want you to decide, Dsus Fsus2 G Eventually, it happens, Dsus C G Some gather on one side, Dsus Fsus2 G With all their pearly snapping, Dsus C G They close the basement door, Dsus Fsus2 G It sets our teeth to chatter, Dsus C G You never saw it before, Dsus But now that hardly matters, Em7 G You're old enough, boy, Em7 G Too many summers you've enjoyed, Em7 G Dsus So spin the wheel, We'll set you up with some odd convictions, C Because you're finally golden, boy,
Am C, Am C
