Intro: G/E, G/F#, Em G/E, G/F#, G (x2)
[G] You can [G/F#]hold her [Em]hand and [G/E]show her [G/F#]how you [G]cry
Ex[G]plain to [G/F#]her your[Em] weakness so she understands and then [G/E]roll ov[G/F#]er and [G]die
Well [G]you can[G/F#] brave de[Em]cisions before you [G/E]crumble [G/F#]up in[G]side
Spend your [G]time a[G/F#]sking [Em]everyone else's permission and then [G/E]run a[G/F#]way and [G]hide
[G]You can [G/F#]sit on [Em]chimneys put some [G/E]fire u[G/F#]p your [G]ass
No need to [G]know [G/F#]what you're [Em]doing or waiting for but if [G/E]any [G/F#]one s[G]hould ask?
Tell them [G]I've been [G/F#]licking [Em]coconut skins and [G/E]we've [G/F#]been han[G]ging out
Tell them [G]God just [G/F#]dropped [Em]by to forgive our sins and rel[G/E]ieve [G/F#]us o[G]ur doubt
Bridge: G, G/F#, Em G/E, G/F#, G (X2)
[G]You can [G/F#]hold her [Em]eggs But your [G/E]basket [G/F#]has a h[G]ole
You can [G]lie bet[G/F#]ween her[Em] legs And go lookin' for:
Tell her you're [G]searching [G/F#]for [G]her soul!
[G]You can[G/F#] wait for [Em]ages and watch your [G/E]compost[G/F#] turn [G] to coal
But[G] time [G/F#]is con[Em]tagious: Every[G/E]body's [G/F#]getting [G]old.
[G]You can [G/F#]sit on [Em]chimneys put some [G/E]fire u[G/F#]p your [G]ass
No need to [G]know [G/F#]what you're [Em]doing or looking for but if [G/E]any [G/F#]one s[G]hould ask?
Tell them [G]I've been [G/F#]cooking [Em]coconut skins and [G/E]we've [G/F#]been han[G]ging out
Tell them [G]God just [G/F#]dropped [Em]by to forgive our sins and re[G/E]lieve [G/F#] us o[G]ur doubt
