G       G/F#     Em
You can hold her hand

and show her how you cry

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

Spend your time asking everyone else's permission

You can sit on chimneys

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

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

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.
