[Intro]
(0:00)
Em (switch between Em and Em/F#) D(1), G (switch between G and D)
[Verse 1]
(0:18)
D(1) Em
You can hold her hand
D(1) G
And show her how you cry
D(1) Em
Explain to her your weakness
So she understands:
D(1) G
And then roll over and die!
D(1) Em
You can brave decisions
D(1) G
Before you crumble up inside
D(1) Em
Spend your time asking
Everyone else's permission:
D(1) G
And then run away and hide!
[Chorus]
(0:54)
D(1) Em
You can sit on chimneys
D(1) G
And put some fire up your ass!
D(1)
No need to know
Em
What you're doing or waiting for:
D(1) G
But if anyone should ask?
D(1) Em
Tell them I've been licking coconut skins
D(1) G
And we've been hanging out!
D(1) Em
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins
D(1) G
And relieve us our doubt
D(1), Em, D(1), G (x2)
Lalalalalalalaaaaa
[Verse 2]
(1:46)
D(1) Em
You can hold her eggs
D(1) G
But your basket has a hole
D(1) Em
You can lie between her legs
And go lookin' for:
D(1) G
Tell her you're searching for her soul!
[Verse 3]
(2:04)
D(1) Em
You can wait for ages
D(1) G
And watch your compost turn to coal
D(1) Em
But time is contagious:
D(1) G
Everybody's getting old.
[Chorus]
(2:23)
D(1) Em
You can sit on chimneys
D(1) G
And put some fire up your ass!
D(1)
No need to know
Em
What you're doing or looking for:
D(1) G
But if anyone should ask?
D(1) Em
Tell them I've been licking coconut skins
D(1) G
And we've been hanging out!
D(1) Em
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins
D(1) G
And relieve us our doubt
[Outro] (x4)
D(1), Em, D(1), G
Lalalalalalalaaaaa

Hey this is off by a bit, right chords, wrong voicing. If you check out the video on google of him playing this live he plays it slightly differently, G modal instead of barred, etc. Check it out, great tab though I really appreciate all the hard work that tabs writers put themselves through.
