Intro: A C#m F#m E
A C#m F#m E
A C#m D F#m
I saw a cigarette contend
C# D
It was the smell of death that kept strolling in
A C#m D F#m
Maybe that henna'd back of yours
C# E
That held me back, back from keeping score
A C#m
There goes that moonboy
D
Looking jungly
E
With all his leaves a-growing
A C#m
Split down that long back
D
He would've thought that
E
If you got to know him
A C#m
True blue with your fists up
D
You little kiss up
E
Wishin' things were heavy
A C#m
That's fine in the end though
D
Where'd all our friends go
E
We can dip if you're ready
( A C#m F#m E )
( A C#m F#m E )
A C#m F#m E
I bet you take me for a fool
A C#m F#m E
Nothing like, like rules the cool sensation of Pollock and Jules
A C#m F#m E
Some weird abandon in sheets
A C#m
Though the tongue tastes good
F#m E
My grammar's falling from the cheeks
A C#m
There goes that moonboy
D
Looking jungly
E
With all his leaves a-growing
A C#m
Split down that long back
D
He would've thought that
E
If you got to know him
A C#m
True blue with your fists up
D
You little kiss up
E
Wishin' things were heavy
A C#m
That's fine in the end though
D
Where'd all our friends go
E
We can dip if you're ready
( A C#m F#m )
E A C#m F#m
I was wrong
E A C#m F#m
You were a friendly kid
E A C#m F#m
I was wrong
E
You were a friendly kid
A C# F#m E
Fill the raf- ters
A C# F#m D
Right field dan- ces
Em D
Baseball diamonds
A C# F#m E Dm E7
Take our chances out
A C#m D
There's somethin' fiction 'bout the way that reality's going
A C#m F#m
Seems like the chakra's playing hopscotch
D
Anxiety growing
A C#m D
Some cordial framework of the sunset; A yellow made out of gray
A C#m D
My bones are tired of the body that woke me up today
A C#m
There goes that moonboy
D
Looking jungly
E
With all his leaves a-growing
A C#m
Split down that long back
D
He would've thought that
E
If you got to know him
A C#m
True blue with your fists up
D
You little kiss up
E
Wishin' things were heavy
A C#m
That's fine in the end though

I was wrong
