Intro chords (x2):
Bm G Em G
Bm G D Asus
Bm G Em G
I've done myself an impossible crime
Bm G D Asus
Had to paint myself a hole and fall inside
Bm G Em G
If it's far enough in sight and rhyme
Bm G D Asus G
I get to wear another dress and count in time
D Asus G
Oh, won't you do me the favor, man,
D Asus G
Of a giving mind,
D Asus G
A polymorphing opinion here,
D Asus
And your vague outline,
G
Bm G Em G
Bm G D Asus
Bm G Em G
I'll find myself another burning gate
Bm G D Asus
A pretty face, a vague idea I can't relate
Bm G Em G
And this is get what you get for pulling pins
Bm G D Asus G
Out of the hole inside the hole you're in
D Asus G
It's like I'm pressed on the handle bars
D Asus G
Of a blind man's bike
D Asus G
No straws to grab, just the rushing wind
D Asus
On the rolling mind
G
La la la la laa
Bm G Em G
Bm G D Asus
D
2x
Asus G D
They want you to decide,
Asus Csus2 D
Eventually, it happens,
Asus G D
Some gather on one side,
Asus Csus2 D
With all their pearly snapping,
Asus G D
They close the basement door,
Asus Csus2 D
It sets our teeth to chatter,
Asus G D
You never saw it before,
Asus
But now that hardly matters,
Bm7 D
You're old enough, boy,
Bm7 D
Too many summers you've enjoyed,
Bm7 D Asus
So spin the wheel, We'll set you up with some odd convictions,
G
Because you're finally golden, boy,
Bm G, Em G
Bm G, D Asus
D Asus G
It's like I'm pressed on the handle bars
D Asus G
Of a blind man's bike
D Asus G
No straws to grab, just the rushing wind
D Asus
On the rolling mind
