lyrics taken from lyricalcollective (http://lyricalcollective.wikispaces.com)
 
EADGBe Standard Tuning
(perhaps slightly flat across all strings, less than half step)
I palm mute all chords, strumming once per beat, but play however you think sounds good
 
 
 
[Intro]
E up an octave (0-14-14-13-0-0) and bend or slide up and down as the keyboard
until the bass and drum comes in, then stay on regular E (022100)
 
 
[Verse 1]
  E                          A        E
A Peacebone got found in the dinosaur wing
               E                       A                E
Well I've been jumpin all over, but my views are slowly shrinking
        E                 A         E
I was a jugular vein in a juggler’s girl
       E                          A           E
I was supposedly leaking the most interesting colors
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
      B          E           A             E
While half of my fingers are dipped in the sand
    B           E                  A               E
You progress in letters but you're used to cooking broccoli
    B             E          A         E
The other side of takeout is mildew on rice
 
 
[Chorus]
        C#m               A              B    E
And an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
           C#m             A              B   E
And just a few things are related to the "old times"
        C#m            A            B      G#
Then we did believe in magic and we didn't die
            C#m                   A                 B  E
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insides
               B  E
ou're just an inside
            B  E
Adjust your insides
               B  E
You're just an inside
 
 
[Verse 2]
          E                         A          E
I bet the monster was happy when we made him a maze
               E                              A             E
Cause he don’t understand intentions, he just looks at your face
          E                   A          E
I bet the bubbles exploded to tickle the bath
            E                              A                E
And all the birds are very curious all the fish were at the surface
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
     B          E             A           E
With half of me waiting for myself to get calm
           B          E
I'm like a pelican at red tide
      A                 E
I'm a corpse, I'm not a fisherman
  B             E               A           E
A blow out does not mean I will have a good night
 
 
[Chorus]
        C#m               A              B    E
And an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
           C#m             A              B   E
And just a few things are related to the "old times"
        C#m            A            B      G#
Then we did believe in magic and we didn't die
            C#m                   A                 B  E
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insides
               B  E
You're just an inside
            B  E
Adjust your insides
               B  E
You're just an inside
 
 
[Interlude]
E  G#m  C#m
A       E
 
 
[Verse 3]
       E                     A        E
Well I start in a hose and I end in a yard
       E                            A                E
When I feel like I'm stealing I can keep myself from hearing God
         E                                 A          E
Only the taste of your cooking can make me bow on the ground
           E
It was the clouds that carved the mountains
           A                       E
It was the mountains that made the kids scream
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
            B            E             A         E
Oh well she bore all her parts but she never was found
               B                    E                  A                  E
You think I'll carve a path through New York and be an artist but are you anything?
         B            E           A       E
Then you find out you can't ask a baby to cry
 
 
[Chorus]
        C#m               A              B    E
And an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
           C#m             A              B   E
And just a few things are related to the "old times"
        C#m            A            B      G#
Then we did believe in magic and we didn't die
            C#m                   A                 B  E
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insides
               B  E
You're just an inside
            B  E
Adjust your insides
               B  E
You're just an inside, inside, inside...
