D G D Peep
show, there's a hole in the wall
D G
D but
it doesn't make a difference anyway.
D G D Sparks out and the smokes in the
air
D G
D and dragonflies are soaking up
the day.
Am G D A
million people turn and they yearn to find another way.
Am G D Dry skin flies in the gust that
blows our way.
D G D Still they'll burn holes in
their socks and
D G
D dust mites will have a field
day.
D G D Weeds will continue to grow as
D G
D long as they can still have a
say.
G A D If
they weren't wearing shoes than the Grass would still feel real.
G A D And we would walk a mile just to
try to find a better...
D G D Deal me another hand and I'll
G C G
try
not to chew my nails.
D G D Build me a bottomless boat and
G C G
be
sure to bring the whales.
Am G D 7 orcas circle then they float
in their whirlpool.
Am G D Driftwood copies 'cause they
want to be cool.
D G D The King's in my Royal flush,
D G
D pressed up against the queen.
D G D Jack's in bed with ten and the
D G
D Joker tries to steal the scene.
G A D No one ever noticed on the back
they're all the same.
G A D But everyone wants to play
another game.
Em When the Rain
falls down and the River overflows
Am and the bull frog croaks
when the east Wind blows
F and the stench
from your socks is the way you start your day
G and you know
nothing ever really mattered anyway.
Am Go down to the
Shoreline, at the end of the dock
F rippling Water
waves, so take off your socks.
G Jump in the
bow of the bottomless Boat
Am Whistle with the
Whales, that's all we wrote.
G F Em A
Whistle through
