Coconut Skins Damien Rice
[Gmaj]You can [G5/F#]hold her [Em]hand
[G6/add9]and show [G5/F#]her how you [G]cry
[Gmaj]Explain to her your [G5/F#]weakness so she u[Em]nderstands
[G6/add9]And then [G5/F#]roll over and [G]die
[Gmaj]You can [G5/F#]brave deci[Em]sions
[G6/add9]Before you [G5/F#]crumble up [G]inside
[Gmaj]Spend your time [G5/F#]asking everyone else's per[Em]mission
[G6/add9]And then [G5/F#]run away and [G]hide
[Gmaj]You can [G5/F#]sit on c[Em]himneys
[G6/add9]And put some [G5/F#]fire up your [G]ass
[Gmaj]No need to [G5/F#]know what you're doing or [Em]waiting for
[G6/add9]But if an[G5/F#]yone shoul[G]d ask?
[Gmaj]Tell them I'[G5/F#]ve been licking coconu[Em]t skins
[G6/add9]and we've [G5/F#]been hanging [G]out
[Gmaj]Tell them G[G5/F#]od just dropped by to [Em]forgive our sins
[G6/add9]And reliev[G5/F#]e us our [G]doubt
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.
