🎸 Verse 1:

D MajorD    F# minorF#m
Cactus, practice
B minorBm        G+G
Everyday awake at 5:03


       D MajorD   F# minorF#m
Greeting the hot sun of a gun
B minorBm           G+G
Condo in a succulent city
    A7A7
Wearing nobody's pants
    D MajorD            B minorBm
Just a sharp suit busy with the ants

F#sus4F#sus4 F# minorF#m
Uh-hun

🎸 Verse 2:

D MajorD         F# minorF#m
Lying awake in a dreaming state
B minorBm          G+G
Riding on a holiday ride
     D MajorD      F# minorF#m
Getting sidetracked, turn on my back
B minorBm            G+G
Heavy with the gravity glide
     A7A7
And I'm nobody's boy
     D MajorD             B minorBm
Just your wet clothes hanging on the line

F#sus4F#sus4 F# minorF#m

🎸 Verse 3:

D MajorD     F# minorF#m
Red tail, look at her sail
B minorBm             G+G
Going for the money on the moon
     D MajorD      F# minorF#m
She goes high up, her beak is stuck
B minorBm             G+G
La-da-da-da listen to her tune
     A7A7
Now she's nobody's bird
    D MajorD            B minorBm
Just a red grape hanging on the vine

F# minorF#m

🎸 Verse 4:

  D MajorD      F# minorF#m
The white snow, look at her flow
B minorBm               G+G
Riding on the wind to meet thе roof
    D MajorD      F# minorF#m
It's a long way from heaven to hay
B minorBm              G+G
Falling on the hill to makе a poof
    A7A7
And on everybody's mind
       D MajorD          B minorBm
Is wrapped a blanket of another kind

F#sus4F#sus4 F# minorF#m
Time

🎸 Verse 5:

D MajorD      F# minorF#m
Time, time, where's the time?
B minorBm              G+G
Have another glass of purple tea
    D MajorD         F# minorF#m
If it's okay
I'd like to stay
B minorBm              G+G
Even though you recently met me
     A7A7
Hell
I'm not even here
      D MajorD            B minorBm
I'm just a bubble floating in your beer

F#sus4F#sus4 F# minorF#m
