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
Lalalalalalalaaaaa
