[Verse 1]
G C
You're transcendent, you taught me so many things
G C
You taught me that help is all we to this dumb planet bring
G C
But one time sticks out for me, you were five, we were working with Bob in Maui
G C
Driving a rental Sebring, the top down, every morning we'd drive on down to
[Verse 2]
Em C
Baby Beach and the Pacific Ocean's not the sea, we'll surf the waves
Em C
And we'll walk the sand to bring your leg back that you'd broken
G C
And you needed to learn how to walk again and I could help you with all this
G C
To help you is all there is, you showed me that that's all there is
G C
That helping is transcendence
[Verse 3]
G C
And after we'd go and eat at Anthony's
G C
Or we'd drive around and maybe stop and eat Fukushima Hot Dogs
G C
Sittin' on the hood or we'd drive to the top of the volcano called Haleakala
G C
At night we'd stare up at the moon and we did all this listening to
G
Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga by Spoon
[Verse 4]
G C
Months later we were back in Toronto, a Tuesday night, an all ages show
G C
You were so young, we sat in the back row, Deerhunter opened the show
G C
The headliner was introduced, we did our best, we'd have to go soon
G
We got a T-shirt and we caught five tunes
C G
Just enough to say the first show for us two was Spoon
G C
You're transcendent, you taught me so many things
G C
You taught me that help is all we to this dumb planet bring
