     Am - F - Am - F         Am               F            Am

1.                           Dear darlin' your mom, my friend,

                     F                       Am

    left a message on my machine

                         F                            Dm            E

    she was frantic saying you were talking crazy.

            Am                   F                          Am

    That you wanted to do away with yourself,

                                     F                         Am

    I guess she thought I'd be a perfect resort,

                                           F                           Dm                           - E

    because we've had this inexplicable connection since our youth.

           Am                     F                   Am

    And yes, they're in shock they are panicked

                               F                                Am

    you and your chronic, them and their drama

                         F                                 Dm                         E

    you, this embarrassment, us in the middle of this delusion.

 

     Dbm                A          Dbm               A

    If we were our bodies, if we were our futures,

        E                     B7                                   - F#

    if we were our defenses I'd be joining you.

Dbm                     A           Dbm               A

    If we were our culture, if  we were our leaders,

       E                       B7                              - F#

    if we were our denials I'd be joining you.

 

  Am            F                       Am                                F

2. I remember vividly a day years ago we were camping

                                             Am

    you knew more than you thought you should know,

                   F                         Dm                           - E

    you said "I don't want ever to be brainwashed".

            Am                   F                            Am

    And you were mindboggling you were intense,

                         F                                    Am

    you were uncomfortable in your own skin,

                           F                   Dm                   E

    you were thirsty but mostly you were beautiful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dbm                      A               Dbm                 A

    If we were our nametags, if we were our rejections,

       E                        B7                                      - F#

    if we were our outcomes I'd be joining you.

Dbm                        A             Dbm                    A

    If we were our indignities, if we were our successes,

        E                          B7                                - F#

    if we were our emotions I'd be joining you.

 

    Am        F              Am

3. You and I we're like 4-year-olds,

                         F                                              Am

    we want to know why and how come about everything,

                           F                        Dm                          E

    we want to reveal ourselves at will and speak our minds.

           Am                F                  Am

    And never talk small and be intuitive,

                            F                       Am                      F

    and question mightily and find God my tortured beacon,

                      Dm                      E

    we need to find like-minded companions.

 

Dbm                     A                        Dbm                   A

    if we were our condemnations, if we were our projections,

        E                          B7                              -  F#

    if we were our paranoias I'd be joining you.

Dbm                   A               Dbm                   A

    If we were our incomes, if we were our obsessions,

       E                      B7                                    - F#

    if we were our afflictions I'd be joining you.

 

    Am               F                Am                          F

    We need reflection, we need a really good memory,

                      Am                            F

    feel free to call me a little more often.
