G            D4/A       C9/B  
You can hold her hand    

        C9/B         G9/F#     G   
and show her how you cry   

G                D4/A        C9/B  
Explain to her your weakness so she understands  
   
C9/B        G9/F#      G  
And then roll over and die  

G       D4/A     C9/B       
You can brave decisions   

                    C9/B    G9/F#      G  
Before you crumble up inside   

                     G       D4/A   C9/B   
Spend your time asking everyone else's permission  

C9/B           G9/F#      G   
And then run away and hide  


G       D4/A     C9/B   
You can sit on chimneys   

                      C9/B   G9/F#    G  
And put some fire up your ass  

                    G          D4/A             C9/B   
No need to know  what you're doing or waiting for  

          C9/B    G9/F#     G    
But if anyone should ask?  
   
                  G             D4/A     C9/B                 
Tell them I've been licking coconut skins   

C9/B           G9/F#          G  
and we've been hanging out  

                   G          D4/A         C9/B   
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins   

C9/B           G9/F#          G  
And relieve us our doubt   


Bridge: G       D4/A     C9/B       C9/B      G9/F#      G  
   
Same chord patternâ?¦  


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.
