[INTRO: ]E  
  
E                       G  
Tell your friends not to think aloud  
D               E  
Until they swallow  
E                G  
Whisper things into my brain  
D                     E  
Your voice sounds so hollow  
  
E            G  
I am not a leader of men  
D                 E  
Since I prefer to follow  
E                   G  
Do you think I could have a drink  
D                     E        G  D 
Since it's so hard to swallow  
             E  
So hard to swallow  
  
E                G  
So turn the television off  
D                 E  
and I will sing a song  
E                   G  
And if you suddenly have the urge  
D              E  
You can sing along  
  
E                   G  
I touch your hand, I touch your face  
D                     E  
I think the fruit is rotten  
E                    G  
Give me lessons on how to breath  
D                      E       G   
Cause I think I've forgotten  
              E  
I think I've forgotten  
E        G  
One day, up to a cliff  
D                   E  
That overlooked the water  
E                G  
I jumped in to save a girl  
D                  E  
It was somebody's daughter  
E                G  
And now the ring is on my hand  
D                      E  
It was given to me by her  
E               G  
To this day we all sit around  
D                      E        G   
And dream of ways to get higher  
               E  
To get much higher
