[Bb] [Cm]
[Eb] [F]
[Bb] Hey you,
[Eb] [Bb] I'm up from the bayou [Eb] Where [Bb]
wildlife runs free
[Eb] You could say [Bb] that I'm country But [Eb] let me [Bb] tell you what I see
Your world is [Cm] plastic [Eb]
[Bb] Can't see through to the other [Cm] side
[Eb]
[Dm] [Bb] Your cities are made of [Cm] wood [Eb]
[Bb] Antiques are what you've got inside
[Cm] [Eb]
[F] Houses [Bb] are paver But folks don't feel a word you say
Ranch is [Cm] like acid [Eb] It burns [G] [Bb] when it slides away
[Eb] So
[Bb] you see [Eb]
[Fm] My patience [Bb] is growing thin
[Eb]
[Bb] With this synthetic [Cm] world [Eb]
We're [Bb] living in
[Cm] The [Eb]
[Bb]
word imitation [Cm] And labels cross the [Eb] nation
What's real has become a [D] freak [Bb]
[Cm] Someone's [Eb] trying to make me
[Cm] [Gm] Brain [Cm] denatures to keep me [Eb] blind Psychedelic music to [Bb] blow my mind
So you
[Cm] see [Eb]
[Bb] My patience is growing thin
With [Eb]

[Bb] We're living in
[Cm] Braid [Eb]
[Bb]
together air [Cm] Air together [Eb] strain
Making people [Bb] die every day Now I'm tired, [Cm] out of [Eb] place
If I [Bb] only had one face All my friends got [Cm] more than two
[Eb] No longer must [Bb] you be you They found out [Cm] how transplant
[Bb] Maybe it has reflexes So you see
[Cm] [Eb]
My [F] patience is [Bb] growing thin With [Eb]
[Bb] this synthetic [Cm] [Eb]
