Verse 1:
(Played twice)

E  A                   E             A
    I know that I should       think about giving and

            E         A                  E             A
think about      helping out and think about     think about living

    E      A       E               A             E A (x2)
But I.............         Can't seem to rescue myself


Chorus 1:

                  C#min                A    B      E
But what about my bank account, and my holy desert shield?

             Ab                A
They keep my dry under the arms

B                                E
Flags and mental jewelry's all I know

                *Ab              *E
and they keep me happy and warm inside

(End with strumming *Emaj once)

       E              A                    E        A         E A x2
And he proceeded to tell me many, many, many, many, many, many, many things

           E         A      E A (x3)
But I said nothing at all

        E             A                                     E A
For the flower in the corner by the room in the window and the sun

Said it all


(Repeat Chorus 1)
