[Verse 1]

G G D D
Hands up if life is getting stressful
G G D D
And shout if you are saddened by the news
G G
I need some tips to cope,
D D
some data or some anecdotes,
C C D D G G
'cause right now nothing's workin' for my blues

G G D D
Sometimes I deal by playing music
G G D D
and sometimes I relax by reading books
G G
Sometimes I go downtown,
D D
climb a tree and don't come down
C C D D G G
and throw a bunch of pinecones at people

G G D D
A A crowd has formed around my tree,
G G
just out of reach, and the police have
D D
blocked the street on every side
G G
But no one can climb it and
D D
I think its 'cause they know I have
C C D D G G
a pinecone here for everyone who tries

[Chorus]

Am Am C C
I yell: I'm gonna live to be a hundred
Am Am C C
I'm gonna see them cure disease
Am Am
Then I'm gonna watch them
C C
go to war over the royalties so
Em Em D D C C
if you need me, I'll be in the tree
Em Em D D G G
If you need me, I'll be in the tree

[Verse 2]

G G D D
There's several cameras pointed up into my tree
G G D D
it seems the world's concerned with what I might do next…
G G
Throwing pinecones at photographers
D D
from up here in this conifer
C C D D G G
like Tarzan getting scouted by the Mets

[Chorus]

Am Am C C
Yeah, I'm gonna live to be a thousand
Am Am C C
Got robot arms and run on robot feet
Am Am
Got robot legs and robot head
C C
and my robot ass don't know it yet but
Em Em D D C C
I'd be better off back in the tree
Em Em D D G G
So if you need me, I'll be in the tree…

[Bridge]

'Cause no one's asking what would drive me up this pine
D D
Is it protest? Am Am I being paid to preach or advertise?
Em Em
No, this non-deciduous decision was all mine
C C
You can show a horse the ropes
but no, you cannot make him climb
G G
And this tree's a makeshift metaphor and I prefer to think
D D
I'm just a stressed out Christmas ornament
who needs some space to breathe
Em Em
And if the camera crews and crowded streets
and dozens of police
C C
are my endless pressures manifested down below my tree
G G
Then this giant stack of pinecones…
D D Em Em
They are the lame and immature ways I deal with them
C C
But also how satisfying it is to do so...
C C D D
To throw one... when they're not looking... yeah

[Chorus]

Am Am C C
I'm gonna live to be a million
Am Am C C
Longer than the flowers, birds and bees
Am Am
but if I start to come undone,
C C
make like a tree and hug someone
Em Em D D C C
Everybody needs a place to breathe
Em Em D D G G
just recognize when it is time to leave

[Outro]

Am Am C C
I'm probably gonna live forever
Am Am C C
but should I die (and that may be preferred)
Am Am
take me out and bury me
C C
and plant a tree right over me
Em Em D D C C
so I may help someone escape the world
Em Em D D G G
Yeah, I may help someone escape the world
