Bridge: Gmaj G5/F# Em G6/add9 G5/F# G
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.
