NO CAPO

Intro: Chord diagramFF


Verse 1:

I ran down the road, pants down to my knees

Screaming "please come help me, that Canadian shaman gave a little too much to me!"
                  Chord diagramBb majorBb                                   Chord diagramFF
And I'm writing a novel, because it's never been done before...

First house that I saw I wrote house up on the door
             Chord diagramF7F7
And told the people who lived there they had to get out cause my reality is realer than yours
                           Chord diagramBb majorBb                                      Chord diagramFF
And there's no time in the present, and there's a black dog on the bed...

  Chord diagramFF
I went to the backyard to burn my only clothes
         Chord diagramF7F7
And the dog ran out and said "You can't turn nothing into nothingness with me no more"
            Chord diagramBb majorBb                               Chord diagramFF
Well I'm no doctor, but that monkey might be right
          Chord diagramC7C7  Chord diagramDmDm                                Chord diagramFF
And if he is.......I'll be walking him my whole life
Verse 2:

  Chord diagramFF
I rode to Malibu on a dune buggy with Neil

He said "You're gonna have to drown me down on the beach if you ever want to write the real"
                Chord diagramBb majorBb                                      Chord diagramFF
And I said "I'm sorry, young man, what was your name again "...

    Chord diagramFF
Now everywhere I go in West Hollywood
                 Chord diagramF7F7
It's filled with people pretending they don't see the actress, and the actress wishing that they could
                 Chord diagramBb majorBb                                       Chord diagramFF
We could do ayahuasca, baby if I wasn't holding all these drinks...

Chord diagramFF
Something 'bout the way Violet whips her hair
              Chord diagramF7F7
That makes me empty my pockets holding court on the corner burning twenties as if I was the mayor
                 Chord diagramBb majorBb                                                      Chord diagramFF
I don't need any new friends, Mamma, but I could really use something to do
                       Chord diagramC7C7    Chord diagramDmDm                                      Chord diagramFF
So if you're up for it sometimes, I swear you wouldn't have to be my muse


Verse 3:

Chord diagramFF
Heidegger and Sartre, drinking poppy tea
           Chord diagramF7F7
I could've sworn last night I passed out in my van and now these guys are pouring one for me
                     Chord diagramBb majorBb                                  Chord diagramFF
I'll never leave the canyon, cause I'm surrounded on all sides
                  Chord diagramC7C7  Chord diagramDmDm                               Chord diagramFF
By people writing novels,...and living on amusement rides
