Tabbed by: Unknown
[Intro]
G#m
When you go on camping trips,
F# B G#m B
You're stuck right out in nature.
E F#
Foraging the forests like a primate.
E F# G#m B
Using sharpened tools instead of hot plates.
[Verse 1]
E
Your thumb and forefinger
F# B G#m B
supposed to show you're not a wild beast.
E F#
You can hear their noises at night time
E F# G#m B
They don't have to keep a certain bed time.
[Chorus]
F# G#m E F#
See in the shapes of my body
E G#m E F#
leftover parts from the apes and monkeys
[Verse 2]
G#m
Sometimes when I lie awake,
F# B G#m B
I hear the rainfall on my tent fly.
E F#
I think of all the insects that are sleeping,
E F# G#m B
and wonder if the animals are dreaming.
[Chorus]
F# G#m E F#
See in the shapes of my body
E G#m E F#
leftover parts from the apes and monkeys
[Bridge]
C D
In the days of the caveman,
G Em
and mammoths, and glaciers.

Bugs and trees were your food then
G Em C G
no pajamas, or doctors.
[Interlude]

E
when I finally get to sleep,
F# B G#m B
I dream in Technicolor.
E F#
I see creatures come back from the Ice Age
E F# G#m B
alive and being fed inside a zoo cage.
[Chorus]
F# G#m E F#
See in the shapes of my body
E G#m E F#
leftover parts from the apes and monkeys
[Bridge]

no pajamas, or doctors.
