[G]
[Em]
[G]
You can [Em] hold her hand and show her how [G] you cry
Explaining [Em] her your weakness so she understands
And then roll over [G] and die
You can [Em] brave decisions before you [G] crumble up inside
Spend your time [Em] asking everyone else's permission
And then run [G] away and hide
Or you can [Em] sit on chimneys and put some fire [G] up your ass
No need to know [Em] what you're doing or waiting for
But if [G] anyone should ask
Tell them [Em] I've been licking coconut skins
When we've [G] been hanging out
Tell them God just [Em] plopped by to forgive our sins
And [G] relieve us our doubt
[Em]
[G] Now
[Em]
[G] you can [Em] hold her eggs
But your basket [G] has a hole
And you can lie [Em] between her legs and go looking for
Tell her you're [F#m] searching [G] for her soul
Well, you can [Em] wait for ages and watch your [D] compost [G] turn to coal.
Time is contagious.
Everybody's getting old.
So you can sit [Em] on chimneys and put some [G] fire up your eyes.
No need to know what you're doing [Em] or waiting for.
[G] But if anyone should ask,
tell them I've been cooking [Em] coconut skins.
We've [G] been hanging out.
Just tell them God [Em] is not blind to forgive our sins [G] and relieve us our doubt.
[Em]
La la [G] la, la la la, [Em] la la la.
