Alls you have to do is come with me

I've been bouncing off the walls

They'll always be hanging

Countin' "your"s, "I"s, "they'll"s and "those"

Can you help move it along?

I've been picking through my thoughts

On the outside

I've gotta unfry
F# A B
'fore I pick it up with you, help me
C#m F# E
Do I need that stable care?
G# C#m
Don't I know that they'll be there?

Or do I jump for something more?

Are you all that I fear?
E G#m
I've been picking through my thoughts
C#m
It's a shame my judgement rots

If I keep stewin' bout how I feel
Eventually I'll split

Sounds like a plan

It's kind of lame to let it slide
C#m

Can't figure out where it all stands
C#m F#
In the green mind
Thanks to the original poster.
