Verse 1:
    G+G               C majorC
You're transcendent, you taught me so many things
          G+G              C majorC
You taught me that help is all we to this dumb planet bring
          G+G                         C majorC
But one time sticks out for me, you were five, we were working with Bob in Maui
       G+G                C majorC
Driving a rental Sebring, the top down, every morning we'd drive on down to

Verse 2:
E minorEm                 C majorC
Baby Beach and the Pacific Ocean's not the sea, we'll surf the waves
     E minorEm                    C majorC
And we'll walk the sand to bring your leg back that you'd broken
                G+G                C majorC
And you needed to learn how to walk again and I could help you with all this
          G+G                  C majorC
To help you is all there is, you showed me that that's all there is
          G+G     C majorC
That helping is transcendence


Verse 3:

And after we'd go and eat at Anthony's
             G+G              C majorC
Or we'd drive around and maybe stop and eat Fukushima Hot Dogs
              G+G                     C majorC
Sittin' on the hood or we'd drive to the top of the volcano called Haleakala
            G+G                C majorC
At night we'd stare up at the moon and we did all this listening to
      G+G
Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga by Spoon


Verse 4:
    G+G                C majorC
Months later we were back in Toronto, a Tuesday night, an all ages show
  G+G                   C majorC
You were so young, we sat in the back row, Deerhunter opened the show
  G+G              C majorC
The headliner was introduced, we did our best, we'd have to go soon
    G+G
We got a T-shirt and we caught five tunes
   C majorC                      G+G
Just enough to say the first show for us two was Spoon
