Intro -x2-: G  G  Em  G  G  G

G          G         Em       
   You can hold  her hand     
    G        G       G
and show her how you cry 
  G        G       Em                              
Explain to her your weakness so she understands  
         G      G      G 
and then roll over and die
     G      G        Em            
Well you can brave decisions       
           G       G    
before you crumble up   
  G
inside 


           G      G     Em                          
Spend your time  asking everyone else's permission 
         G    G       G  
and then run away and hide


G       G      Em              
You can sit on chimneys      
         G     G      G  
put some fire up your ass
           G     G           Em                       
No need to know  what you're doing or waiting for     
       G    G     G
but if any  one  should ask?
          G         G       Em                 
Tell them I've been licking coconut skins      
    G     G       G
and we've been hanging out
          G        G       Em                        
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins    
       G     G    
and relieve  us   
 G
our doubt


Bridge -x2-: G  G  Em  G  G  G


G       G        Em         
You can hold her eggs       
         G      G      G 
But your basket has a hole 
        G      G       Em
You can lie between her legs And go lookin' for: 
                G         G      
Tell her you're searching for    
G
her soul! 


G      G         Em          
You can wait for ages        
               G      G      G
and watch your compost turn   to coal 
   G     G     Em              
But time is contagious:        
     G      G       G
Everybody's getting old. 


G       G      Em              
You can sit on chimneys      
         G     G      G  
put some fire up your ass
           G     G           Em                       
No need to know  what you're doing or looking for     
       G    G     G
but if any  one  should ask?
          G         G       Em                 
Tell them I've been cooking coconut skins      
    G     G       G
and we've been hanging out
          G        G       Em                        
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins    
      G     G     G
and relieve  us  our doubt

Damien Rice (born December 7, 1973) is an Irish singer-songwriter. He was born in Dublin, Ireland, to George and Maureen Rice and was raised in Celbridge, County Kildare, Ireland. In March 1999 Damien moved to Tuscany, then travelled around Europe, busking the streets. He arrived back in Dublin a year later, with a clear head and full of ideas. Damien started playing and recording music with his first band, Juniper. After a few years he decided creatively it was not for him so he left the band (Newly named Bell X1) to start a solo career.
