Coconut Skins Tab par Damien Rice

Intro:   G       G/F#     Em   G6         G/F#      G

G       G/F#     Em
You can hold her hand  
G6       G/F#        G 
and show her how you cry 
G                   G/F#             Em
Explain to her your weakness so she understands
G6       G/F#          G
And then roll over and die
G       G/F#      Em        
You can brave decisions 
G6         G/F#       G
Before you crumble up inside 
G               G/F#                      Em
Spend your time asking everyone else's permission
G6       G/F#         G  
And then run away and hide


G       G/F#    Em    
You can sit on chimneys 
G6           G/F#         G  
And put some fire up your ass
G          G/F#                       Em
No need to know  what you're doing or waiting for
G6       G/F#      G      
But if anyone should ask?
G           G/F#                  Em                 
Tell them I've been licking coconut skins 
G6        G/F#         G
and we've been hanging out
G          G/F#                  Em
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins 
G6        G/F#     G       
And relieve us our doubt 


Bridge: G       G/F#     Em      G6        G/F#      G
 
Same chord pattern...


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

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

You can sit on chimneys 
And put some fire up your ass! 
No need to know 
What you're doing or looking for: 
But if anyone should ask? 
Tell them I've been cooking coconut skins 
And we've been hanging out! 
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins 
And relieve us our doubt.
