Damien Rice - Coconut Skins Chords

Intro -x2-: G  G  Em  G  G  G

G          G         Em
   You can hold  her hand
    G        G       G
and show her how you cry
  G        G       Em
Explain to her your weakness so she understands
         G      G      G
and then roll over and die
     G      G        Em
Well you can brave decisions
           G       G
before you crumble up
  G
inside


           G      G     Em
Spend your time  asking everyone else's permission
         G    G       G
and then run away and hide


G       G      Em
You can sit on chimneys
         G     G      G
put some fire up your ass
           G     G           Em
No need to know  what you're doing or waiting for
       G    G     G
but if any  one  should ask?
          G         G       Em
Tell them I've been licking coconut skins
    G     G       G
and we've been hanging out
          G        G       Em
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins
       G     G
and relieve  us
 G
our doubt


Bridge -x2-: G  G  Em  G  G  G


G       G        Em
You can hold her eggs
         G      G      G
But your basket has a hole
        G      G       Em
You can lie between her legs And go lookin' for:
                G         G
Tell her you're searching for
G
her soul!


G      G         Em
You can wait for ages
               G      G      G
and watch your compost turn   to coal
   G     G     Em
But time is contagious:
     G      G       G
Everybody's getting old.


G       G      Em
You can sit on chimneys
         G     G      G

           G     G           Em
No need to know  what you're doing or looking for
       G    G     G
but if any  one  should ask?
          G         G       Em
Tell them I've been cooking coconut skins
    G     G       G
and we've been hanging out
          G        G       Em
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins
      G     G     G
and relieve  us  our doubt
