Intro Chord - D
C
There are rainbows.
F
There are leprechauns.
Am
There are people who wear things
G
'cause they have two years.
C
In the forests of regret
F Am
Lay the lies of the innocent child, no,
G
but we're not quite there yet
C
When I look into your eyes
F Am
I can see something in them
G C
'cause micro-motor movements are indicating responses
F
and I can interpret them
Am
'cause I have experience
G
in dealing with other humans.
Come on.
C
Get off your pillow,
F
join in the song.
Am
Give me some tweezers;
G
help with the bong.
C
Skip out the resin
F
for a poor and rainy day,
Am
put it in a matchbox,
keep it in the freezer
G
next to the sorbet.
C
Call up the con,
F
use coded terms;
Am G
wait for half an hour
C
until the doorbell rings.
F
Giggle with your friends as you buzz your friend
Am
(your non-friend) up to the door,
G C
and they come right in with the bike messenger bag.
C
They flip it to the front side
F
un-velcro it before your eyes
Am G
bring little jewel-ish looking clear cubes
C
of biological matter, yes.
F
And you look at the assortment
Am
and wish you could take it all;
G
and he says "choose whatever one you want,
but they are all the same.
C
But you convince yourself that the
F
shape of the matter of the matter at hand
Am
is something that differentiates your selection
G
from all the others.
C
oh-whoaowhoaaaanow
F
And when you make your selection
Am
you give him money and he goes away
G
as fast as he came...
C F
And you start your smokin'.
Am G
Your friend starts that tokin'. (J.R.R.)
C F
And you do what you needed.
Am G
And you queue up the beginning of your favorite movie:
C
Fletch, Fletch, Fletch...
