F C F C F C Am G
[Verse 1]
F C F C
I was restless, your were hopeless
F C Am G
I was hoping we could figure this out on our own
F C F C
So damn fragile, god damn beautiful
F C Am G
Like an angel dripping down on my soul
F C F C
Pick my body like a good girl
F C Am G
I need someone to untangle these words in my head
F C F C
In a white suit with a white nose
F C Am G
I am stranded underneath the grip of the world
[Link]
F C F C F C Am G
[Chorus]
F
Don't you tell me
C Em Am F
Driving up the west coast beating on a dead drum
C G C
isn't really helping me out
F
Cause I'm real close to
C Em Am F
All the other sources of existential voices,
C G C
and that's the voice that's helping me out
[Link]
F C F C F C Am G
[Verse 2]
F C F C
Go ahead now, get away from here
F C Am G
Ill be hiding in the hills till the father is real?
F C F C
I'm just doing what I feel is right
F C Am G
Hiding from a dream so I blend in the light
F C F C
You're a snakebite, you've stuck your teeth in me
F C Am G
I'm not dying but I'm set in my reasoning
F C F C
Question who now, question my disbelief
F C Am G
In a statue that keeps staring back at me
F C F C
Asking questions do you believe in god?
F C Am G
He looks back at me with a wink and a nod
[Link]
F C F C F C Am G
[Chorus]
F
Don't you tell me
C Em Am F
Driving up the west coast beating on a dead drum
C G C
isn't really helping me out
F
Cause I'm real close to
C Em Am F
All the other sources of existential voices,
C G C
and that's the voice that's helping me out
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
F C F C
Here we are now I think I've found myself
F C Am G
We won't know until the final date is unveiled
F C F C
But I'm waiting for that special girl
F C Am G
to unwind herself for the rest of the world
F C F C
Try my spirit now it tastes real sweet
F C Am G
Like the water dripping out from the stream on the east
F C F C
Go to bed now I hope you sleep well
F C Am G
Won't you remember me when they ask you to tell
[Verse 4]
F C F C
Who's the man now in the white coat
F C Am G
on the West Coast, banging his drum till the dawn?
F C F C
For you to hear him underneath the sun
F C Am G
full of heavy thoughts and a dream of his own
[Outro]
F C x3
