Verse:

E minorEm            D MajorD
There was a stage and a PA
          C majorC
up in western Massachusetts
C majorC
And the kids came from miles
                E minorEm
around to get messed up on the music
             D MajorD
And she drove down from Bowdoin
          C majorC
with a carload of girlfriends
C majorC
To meet some boys and maybe eat some mushrooms
     E minorEm
And they did and she got sick
      D MajorD
now she's pinned and way too shaky
C majorC
She don't want to tell the doctor everything she's taken
E minorEm
The paramedics hovered over like
  D MajorD
a somber mourning family
        C majorC
They gave her activated charcoal
C majorC
they flooded her with saline

Chorus:

G+G
I got really hot and then
  A5A5           C majorC
I came to in the chillout tent
             G+G     A5A5  C majorC
They gave me oranges and cigarettes

Verse:

    E minorEm
He was rough around the edges
       D MajorD
He'd been to school but never finished
C majorC
He'd been to jail but never prison
        E minorEm            D MajorD
And it was his first day off in forever, man
               C majorC
The festival seemed like a pretty good plan
C majorC
Cruise some chicks and get a suntan
E minorEm
His friend gave him four
       D MajorD
but he said "only take one"
C majorC
But then he got bored
C majorC
and he ended up taking all four
E minorEm
So now my man
        D MajorD
he ain't that bored, anyways
   C majorC
The paramedics found him
C majorC
he was shaking on the side of the stage

Chorus:

G+G
Everything was spinning
    A5A5           C majorC
Then I came to in the chillout tent
             G+G     A5A5  C majorC
They gave me oranges and cigarettes
G+G
I got really hot and then
  A5A5           C majorC
I came to in the chillout tent
             G+G     A5A5  C majorC
They gave me oranges and cigarettes

Bridge:

   E minorEm
She looked just like a baby bird
   D MajorD
all new and wet and
          C majorC
trying to light a Parliament
  E minorEm
He quoted her some poetry
   D MajorD             A5A5
he's Tennyson in denim and sheepskin
A5A5
He looked a lot like Izzy Stradlin
Eb5Eb5
They started kissing
     F5F5
when the nurses took off their IVs
   C majorC
It was kind of of sexy
    D MajorD
but it was kind of creepy
E minorEm
Their mouths were fizzy
     D MajorD
with the cherry cola
       C majorC
They had the privacy of bedsheets
C majorC
and all the other kids were mostly in comas

Chorus:

G+G
He was kind of cute
      A5A5            C majorC
we kind of kicked it in the chillout tent
           G+G     A5A5  C majorC
And I never saw that boy again
G+G
She was pretty cool
      A5A5            C majorC
we kind of kicked it in the chillout tent
           G+G     A5A5  C majorC
And I never saw that girl again
G+G
He was kind of cute
      A5A5            C majorC
we kind of kicked it in the chillout tent
           G+G     A5A5  C majorC
And I never saw that boy again
G+G
She seemed pretty cool
      A5A5            C majorC
we kind of kicked it in the chillout tent
           G+G     A5A5  C majorC   G+G
And I never saw that girl again
