Mute me gently with the palm of your hand
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
So self-conscious

 A augmentedA new song that makes you wanna make music

Everything you wanted to

You leave your body
   G minorGm          Bb majorBb
Just one more ice cream scoop out of your brain

Cake batter, splatter paint

Patron saint, all this pain
