[D] [A] Hello.
I lost [D] my mind on [A] Pine Square.
Had a good time, [Gbm] ain't got [A] any friends.
Deliver us, Lord, from [Gbm] this [A] golden camp.
People only want what [D] they [A] can on a ham.
[Eb] Forgetting proof.
[D] After proof [A] that you fed the Nazis.
[Eb] Forgetting proof.
You've [D] got more life that you [A] better not waste.
How can I [Gbm] walk with this falling [A] chain?
How can I land in [D] this [A] hurricane?
Or is this part of [D] man's [A] evolution?
To be torn between truth and illusion.
[Eb] Forgetting proof.
[D] That's the route [A] that you'd better not take.

[D] [A]
[D] Little brother got caught [A] in the well.
He ran off [D] and joined the living [A] dead.
Then through the [D] mail seemed to call [A] to him.
He wrote [G] his [D] song.
Just [A] for his better [Eb] forgetting proof.
[D] He might pursue [Am] himself on his own.
