So, we have one more song for you guys.
For this last one I'm going to turn off all the electronics.
[A]
So,
[Db] does anyone know the [F] writer Tom Robbins?
Sick, alright we got to [A] talk about that.
Good [D] job guys.
[Ab] Good job.
Alright, [F] so he wrote, he's a writer, [Cm] and he wrote this book called Still [C] Life with Woodpecker.
And in that book he asks this question [Dbm] over and over and [Ab] over and over and over and over and over [A] and over again.
[F] And he never answers [F] it.
It's pretty [A] frustrating.
I know right.
So, I'm going to ask you that question tonight over and over and over and over [Bbm] and over and [C] over and over again.
[Db] And I'm not going to answer [N] it.
But I think it's meant to stay that way.
[Dm] It's a question that I think the [Db] answer is in the asking.
If [G] that makes any sense.
So, it should be asked again and again and again and again and again.
So, we can keep it part of the [A] conversation.
So, after I [F] ask you, you go ask everyone you know.
[C] Okay?
Okay? Okay?
[A] I'm not going to yell at [Ab] singing to you.

I

The [C]
bed, [G] dead birds reaching out for me.
[D]
[C] And [Em] I breathe [G] that free air breath.
And [C] muddy your name in vain.
[G]
You curl up in shape.
[D]
[G] So, lead me down the road.
But the princess [C] kissed my [G] phone.
So, I left me running.
[C]
[G] I'll keep you safe.
[G] But I'm afraid.
