Intro: G G/F# Em G6 G/F# G
G G/F# Em
You can hold her hand
G6 G/F# G
and show her how you cry
G G/F# Em
Explain to her your weakness so she understands
G6 G/F# G
And then roll over and die
G G/F# Em
You can brave decisions
G6 G/F# G
Before you crumble up inside
G G/F# Em
Spend your time asking everyone else's permission
G6 G/F# G
And then run away and hide
G G/F# Em
You can sit on chimneys
G6 G/F# G
And put some fire up your ass
G G/F# Em
No need to know what you're doing or waiting for
G6 G/F# G
But if anyone should ask?
G G/F# Em
Tell them I've been licking coconut skins
G6 G/F# G
and we've been hanging out
G G/F# Em
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins
G6 G/F# G
And relieve us our doubt
Bridge: G G/F# Em G6 G/F# G
Same chord pattern...
You can hold her eggs
But your basket has a hole
You can lie between her legs
And go lookin' for:
Tell her you're searching for her soul!
You can wait for ages
And watch your compost turn to coal
But time is contagious:
Everybody's getting old.
You can sit on chimneys
And put some fire up your ass!
No need to know
What you're doing or looking for:
But if anyone should ask?
Tell them I've been cooking coconut skins
And we've been hanging out!
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins
And relieve us our doubt.
