Intro (0:00)
Em , D/F#, G
Verse 1 (0:18)
D/F# Em
You can hold her hand
D/F# G
And show her how you cry
D/F# Em
Explain to her your weakness
So she understands
D/F# G
And then roll over and die
D/F# Em
You can brave decisions
D/F# G
Before you crumble up inside
D/F# Em
Spend your time asking
Everyone else's permission
D/F# G
And then run away and hide
Chorus (0:54)
D/F# Em
You can sit on chimneys
D/F# G
And put some fire up your ass
D/F#
No need to know
Em
What you're doing or waiting for
D/F# G
But if anyone should ask
D/F# Em
Tell them I've been licking coconut skins
D/F# G
And we've been hanging out
D/F# Em
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins
D/F# G
And relieve us our doubt
D/F#, Em, D/F#, G x2
Lalalalalalalaaaaa
Verse 2 (1:46)
D/F# Em
You can hold her eggs
D/F# G
But your basket has a hole
D/F# Em
You can lie between her legs
And go lookin' for
D/F# G
Tell her you're searching for her soul
Verse 3 (2:04)
D/F# Em
You can wait for ages
D/F# G
And watch your compost turn to coal
D/F# Em
But time is contagious
D/F# G
Everybody's getting old
Chorus (2:23)
D/F# Em
You can sit on chimneys
D/F# G
And put some fire up your ass
D/F#
No need to know
Em
What you're doing or looking for
D/F# G
But if anyone should ask
D/F# Em
Tell them I've been licking coconut skins
D/F# G
And we've been hanging out
D/F# Em
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins
D/F# G
And relieve us our doubt
D/F#, Em, D/F#, G x4
