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...
