DDUUDU

[D/B]

Now as our poor young lungs deflate, I’ll admit I’ve gotten older

[D/B]
Mellowed out, chatting up those I used to hate

The feeling that we’re lost will always fade, I present no explanation

[D/B]
Can’t expect our tired patience to satiate for long

And therein lies a truth we can sip when we want

Disciples of the flow we can float anywhere

If ever there’s a drought I’ve listed the puddles

[D/B]
Proven to better coax the divine out from within

Bum, bum, bum, buh duh duh, dum,

[D/B]
Buh duh, duh duh, duh duh, duh duh duh, duh duh duh, duh duh, duh, dum

Remember there’s more road, and places to go

And patterns to contemplate, more people to fornicate

[D/B]
And remember there’s a lot of good omens supplying the proof that our life is the best joke ever told

Remember its a joke, and leave it alone.

Let go and try to be always abiding

[D/B]
Remember if there’s one good reason for dying, the sweet silver lining, through you she lives on

And therein lies a coast we can see through the fog

An island in our thoughts can be heaven on Earth

[D/B]
I swear to God if I haven’t wandered all over then I haven’t done something that’s worth telling at all

Bum, bum, bum, buh duh duh, dum,

[D/B]
Buh duh, duh duh, duh duh, duh duh duh, duh duh duh, duh duh, duh, dum

D (hold) C (hold)
After the hell that you’ve been through, what could I even say?

Our Auntie Earth will take us in

She awaits our battered shells

[D/B]
I’ll try to lay as close as I can to you, but while we’re breathing I should tell you

From the depths of the void I will

Love you for your growing crows feet

[D/B]
And fully adore the contradictions that we live, as all I can give

Bum, bum, bum, buh duh duh, dum,

Buh duh, duh duh, duh duh, duh duh duh, duh duh duh, duh duh, duh, dum

G (hold)

Buh, dum
