[Em]
[E] [G]
[Em]
[E] [G]
You can [Em] hold her hand, [D] show her how you cry
[G]
Explain [D] to her your [Em] weakness so she understands
And [D] then roll over [G] and die
[D]
You can [Em] brave decisions before you [D] crumble [G] up inside
Spend your [Em] time asking everyone else's permission
Then [D] run [G] away and hide
You can [D] sit on [Em] chimneys, put some [D] fire up your ass
No need to know [Em] what you're doing or waiting for
Whatever [F#] [G] anyone should ask
Tell them I've been [Em] licking coconut skins
[F#m] And we've been [G] hanging out
Tell them God just [Em] dropped by to forgive our sins
[E] And really [G] bust our down
La la [Em] la
[E] [G]
[E] la
[G]
You can [Em] hold her ass, but your [F#m] basket [G] has a hole
You can lie between [Em] her legs and go looking for
Tell her you're [E] searching [G] for the soul
[D] But you can wait [Em] for ages
Watch your [D] compass [G] turn to coal
[D] Time [Em] is contagious
And [E] everybody's [G] getting old
So you can [Em] sit on two knees
Put some [E] fire [G] up your ass
No need to know [Em] what you're doing or looking for
Whatever [D] [G] anyone should ask
Tell them I've been [Em] cooking coconut skins
[D] And we've been [G] hanging out
Tell them God just [Em] dropped by to forgive our sins
And [D] relieve [G] us our doubt
