[A]
[Am]
What about the time you were born a new woman?
Fun face, you must be having fun.
Walk lightly, think of the time.
Do you trust me?
This thing is real.
Put away that gun.
This part is simple.
Try to recognize what is in your mind.
God help us, help us lose our minds.
Let me speak to people, help us understand.
What's the matter with you?
How do you know?
[C] Don't [Am] hold no case.
[G] Stuff [Am] up the mind, let's [G] do the talk.
Turn [Am] like a whip.
See for yourself.
[G] We're [Am] gonna move.
Turn like a whip, let's fight a [A] whip.
[Am]
Sit your feet in the dust.
Hold out the gun.
The world of us will never know.
Who's there?
Stop acting crazy.
Let it fall to me.
It will be an aura.
Seven times five.
It will be a creature.
Watch it from the left.
Right there before your eyes.
Backsliding, how did you do?

Stuff up the mind, let's do [Em] the talk.
