Capo 3rd fret
When you wake up, cobwebs on your eyelids, stuck in rigor mortis, whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
Just get going, 'til you hit the ocean, and you turn Californian, whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
* *
You don't have to, have the answers, don't you worry, don't you worry
It's gonna be alright, if you're on a sinking ship
The California kids, will throw you a lifeline
And if you're up all night, thinking 'bout some thing you did
The California kids, will show you the sunshine
In your bare feet, in mid-January, swimming in the mystery, whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
* *
Second guessing, almost everything, don't you worry, don't you worry
It's gonna be alright, if you're on a sinking ship
The California kids, will throw you a lifeline
And if you're up all night, thinking 'bout some thing you did
The California kids, will show you the starlight
[Solo]
All your old friends, chilling back in Boston, you never forgot them, whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
It's gonna be alright, if you're on a sinking ship
The California kids, will throw you a lifeline
And if you're up all night, thinking 'bout some thing you did
The California kids, will show you the sunshine
The California kids, will show you the starlight

Capo 1st fret
A boy and a girl, albatross around their necks
Hands burning from the rope, ships stranded in the tropics
Acidification wiped out the tiger shark
Let's try to save their souls, and trust the man with the Torah
We got the wind in our sail, like Darwin on the Beagle
Or Mendel experimenting with a pea
We got the wind in our sail (in our sail, our sail)
And we can do so many great things together, together
Breathe in the salt, slicing waves at forty knots
Cumulonimbus in the sky, this is what we've waited for
And now there's no more hyperventilating in wheelchairs
We're gonna save the last dog on Funk Islands
We're had to do it wrong before we could do it right
We got the wind in our sail, like Darwin on the Beagle
Or Mendel experimenting with a pea
We got the wind in our sail (in our sail, our sail)
And we can do so many great things together, together
Pushing the stone up the hill and if it rolls back
Down, whoa, Sisyphus it rolls back down
Pushing the stone up the hill and if it rolls back
Down, whoa, Sisyphus it rolls back down
We got the wind in our sail, like Darwin on the Beagle
Or Mendel experimenting with a pea
We got the wind in our sail (in our sail, our sail)
And we can do so many great things together, together
We got the wind in our sail (we got the wind in our sail)
Track 3 - THANK GOD FOR GIRLS

The girl in the pastry shop with the net in her hair is making a cannoli for you to
Take on your hiking trip in the woods with your bros that you've known since second grade
And you may encounter dragons or ruffians and be called upon to employ your testoste-
-rone, in a battle for supremacy and access to females glued to the TV
And even if you are victorious you may receive many cuts, bruises, and scrapes and you will
Require band aids and antiseptic ointments and tender loving kisses on your stab wounds and
When you come home she will be there waiting for you with a fire in her
Eyes and a big fat cannoli to shove in your mouth and that's why you
Thank God for girls
Holla Jesu Christe from Tennessee to LA
Thank God for girls
On your reckoning day, you better bow down and pray
She's so big, she's so strong
She's so energetic in her sweaty overalls
Thank God for girls
Thank God for girls, thank God for girls
I'm so glad I got a girl to think of even though she isn't mine
I think about her all the day and all the night, it's enough to know that she's alive
She says I give her sweaty palms, she almost had a heart attack
The truth is that I'm just as scared, I don't know how to act
I wish that I could get to know her better
But meeting up in real life would cause the illusion to shatter
I carved her name into all the trees, sang a song down on one knee
Looking at the underwear page of the Sears catalog like when I was fourteen
I'm levitating like a magnet turned the wrong way around
I'm like an Indian Fakir tryna' meditate on a bed of nails with my pants pulled down
Thank God for girls
Holla Jesu Christe from Tennessee to LA
Thank God for girls
On your reckoning day, you better bow down and pray
She's so big, she's so strong
She's so energetic in her sweaty overalls
Thank God for girls
Thank God for girls, thank God for girls
God took a rib from Adam, ground it up in a centrifuge ma-
-chine, mixed it with cardamom and cloves, microwaved it on the popcorn setting
While Adam was like "that really hurts", going off into the tundra
So pissed at God and he started lighting minor forest fires, stealing osprey
Eggs, messing with the bees who were trying to pollinate the Echinacea until God said
"Imma smite you with loneliness and break your heart in two"
And Adam wept and wailed, tearing out his hair
Falling on his knees, looked to the sky and said, "Thank God"

Tune half-step down
Girl, we got a good thing
You know where this is heading, uh-huh
Just a couple lovebirds
Happy to be singing, uh-huh
Girl, we got a good thing
And I don't see this ending
Do you want to fly? Do you want to flee?
Do you want to get away with me?
Do you want to face the great unknown?
Jingle, jingle
We're as happy as a couple Hare Krishnas
Dancing, twirling, playing on the tambourine
We'll crush the scene together
Marching onward
Oblivious to all the hate around us
We could self-publish a book of our philosophy
And hand it to the tourists
Girl, we got a good thing
You know where this is heading, uh-huh
Just a couple lovebirds
Happy to be singing, uh-huh
Girl, we got a good thing
And I don't see this ending
Do you want to fly? Do you want to flee?
Do you want to get away with me?
Do you want to face the great unknown?
Puerto Rico
Would be perfect for a destination wedding
We'll drive into Ventura on the 101
It sounds like fun, to me
You scare me like an open window
Let's chalk it up to Stockholm syndrome
I want to crawl in, crawl into a hole
[Solo]
Girl, we got a good thing
You know where this is heading, uh-huh
Just a couple lovebirds
Happy to be singing, uh-huh
Girl, we got a good thing
And I don't see this ending
Do you want to fly? Do you want to flee?
Do you want to get away with me?
Do you want to face the great unknown?
Girl, we got a good thing
Girl, we got a good thing

Crush up the blue and inhale through your nose
Scrape every cork from the wood in the floor, she said
Do you wanna get high, don't eat no dinner tonight
I took a road trip to Mexico and scored a hundred pounds
Do you wanna get high, it's like we're falling in love
We can listen to Bacharach and stop at any point
Now our bones start to ache as we cramp on the pot
And we fall to the floor with our face in a knot, she said
Do you wanna get high, don't eat no dinner tonight
I took a road trip to Mexico and scored a hundred pounds
Do you wanna get high, it's like we're falling in love
We can listen to Bacharach and stop at any point
Keep on doing what you do cause I'll never get tired of you
Don't need booze cause I'll never get tired of you
Stop the tape, kill the lights, close the drapes
And keep doing what you do cause I'll never get tired of you
[Solo]
She said
Do you wanna get high, don't eat no dinner tonight
I took a road trip to Mexico and scored a hundred pounds
Do you wanna get high, it's like we're falling in love
We can listen to Bacharach and stop at any point

You walk by the magazines sitting on the rack at the CV--S
One more sad movie star divorce, three hundred died in an airplane wreck
And you think of all the people suffering and you bury that pain
But you can tell me everything and we'll ride on that wave
If I was king of the world, you'd be my girl, you wouldn't have to shed one single
Tear unless you wanted to, 'cause yeah I know what it's like
If I was king of the world, yeah girl, we could ride a Greyhound all the
Way to the Galapagos, stay for the rest of our lives
Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa whoa whoa whoa
Dad hit you on the hand just for holding your chopsticks wrong
Then your mom locked you in a shed and Uncle Sam dropped an atom bomb
But you're not alone, you can let it go and just weep on my breast
And cover me with your tenderness and that pain will pass
If I was king of the world, you'd be my girl, you wouldn't have to shed one single
Tear unless you wanted to, 'cause yeah I know what it's like
If I was king of the world, yeah girl, we could ride a Greyhound all the
Way to the Galapagos, stay for the rest of our lives
Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa whoa whoa whoa
We are the small fish
We swim together
No Prozac or Valium, we'll
Face tsunamis together
If I was king of the world, you'd be my girl, you wouldn't have to shed one single
Tear unless you wanted to, 'cause yeah I know what it's like
If I was king of the world, yeah girl, we could ride a Greyhound all the
Way to the Galapagos, and stay for the rest of our lives
Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa whoa whoa whoa

Tune half-step down
Oh, she left me there, she left me all alone
Oh, but I don't care, no I don't mind at all
What really happened, I got distracted, I suck at getting off the phone
Boy in the bubble, saying I love you, I should have written her a note
Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori
When I'm feelin' lonely, I don't want to go, oh-oh
Oh-oh, Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori
Wish that they would show me, I can't let them go, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, she swam away, and flexed her mermaid tail
She was out too deep, when lightning struck the bay
Good witch or bad witch, God is a woman, I wish I hadn't played the prude
She touched my ankle, Paranoid Android, I felt it in my molecules
Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori
When I'm feelin' lonely, I don't want to go, oh-oh
Oh-oh, Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori
Wish that they would show me, I can't let them go, oh-oh,
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Slender and tall, they whisked my worries away, sweet piano
Melodies play, feet crushing Sauvignon grapes, I hear them
Whispering, whispering, out at the pool
Remember when we were only sixteen, you made me believe in God
Oh when I finally wake, both girls are gone
[Solo]
Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori
When I'm feelin' lonely, I don't want to go, oh-oh
Oh-oh, Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori
Wish that they would show me, I can't let them go, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Track 8 - L.. GIRLZ
Tune half-step down
L.. girls, please act your age
You treat me like I have the plague, it's the gyre and gimble in the wabe
L.. girls, please act your age
Sweeten up your lemonade and meet me down at tower twenty-eight
I think I'm in whiplash, I'm losing it mixing ammonia and bleach
I get off at Pico and sell my possessions so you will know just how I feel
I love your long hair but you just don't care
So please help me fathom this world without music and by the way, when can we talk?
L.. girls, please act your age
You treat me like I have the plague, it's the gyre and gimble in the wabe
L.. girls, please act your age
Sweeten up your lemonade and meet me down at tower twenty-eight
So would you mind if I was pregnant, I'll sleep on the edge of your bed
Like Dante and Beatrice, we'll light up our candles but how is this going to end?
The kids are asleep, we're haunting their dreams
And some women swear it's more painful than labor to die with your sins on your head
Does anybody love anybody as much as I love you, baby?
Does anybody love anybody as much as I love you, baby?
Does anybody love anybody as much as I love you, baby?
Does anybody love anybody as much as I love you, baby?
[Solo]
L.. girls, please act your age
You treat me like I have the plague, it's the gyre and gimble in the wabe
L.. girls, please act your age
Sweeten up your lemonade and meet me down at tower twenty-eight

x2001x
Slightly detune (quarter-step down) to match the album pitch
If I stay the night, will we fall in love?
If I stroke your hair, it's gonna hurt so much
Stranded in the Kalahari, will you share your flask?
If I stay the night, will we fall in love?
I'm all jacked up, over you
I'd bury diamonds, just for you
Oh, why, why, why do my flowers always
Die, why do they die?
I'm all jacked up, over you
I see you standing there, without a shred of clothes
And I can break away, from the vein of gold
Come my beautiful alien, touch me with your light
But if I stay the night, will we fall in love?
I'm all jacked up, over you
I'd bury diamonds, just for you
Oh, why, why, why do my flowers always
Die, why do they die?
I'm all jacked up, over you
You're the sun that I'm orbiting, I burn in your heat
Supernova and cosmic dust, you spawn galaxies
We'll sleep together, sleep together, sleep forever
Sleep together, sleep forever minus one
Say those forbidden words to me, eagle girl
I'm all jacked up, over you
I'd bury diamonds, just for you
Oh, why, why, why do my flowers always
Die, why do they die?
I'm all jacked up, over you
Track 10 - ENDLESS BUMMER
Tune half-step down
(For standard tuning and open chord voicing, see the acoustic version)
Hey, hey
Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey
I just want this summer to end
What's the point of trying to pretend?
She told me to follow the rules
Not all nineteen year olds are cool
I'm all alone at night
Dreamin' about my life
She was too fast for me
I count my steps because I'm OCD
Hey, hey
Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey
No life from Paloma to Rose
Sometimes I feel like I'm a ghost
Changing into street clothes in a tent
I just want this summer to end (summer to end)
My heart is so landlocked
Nothing but tourist shops
It's just like a curse, you see
This bummed out feeling that she's over me, she's over me
I put my jacket over my head
I'm trying not to stare at her chest
I can't even dance in the dark
Cause my headphones are still on the seat of her car
Hey, hey
Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey
Kumbaya makes me get violent
I just want this summer to end
Whoa

Tune half-step down
Almost saw her heartbeat, under the necklaces
Caked-on concealer, sorry 'bout the zit
She's a fan of 5SOS, but only cause they're so hot
Sippin' drinks at Starbucks, didn't know what else to say
Except "hey, little girl, would you rock my world?"
Cause I love who you are, you look like a lucky star
With that makeup on, just like a young Madonna
Hey, I'm in love again
Do you remember prom night?
Your brother loves his country, dad loves Ballroom Blitz
Mommy closed your Instagram*, it was inappropriate
Maybe I'll go with you, driving up Mulholland
On a teenage quest for a future husband
I said "hey, little girl, would you rock my world?"
Cause I love who you are, you look like a lucky star
With that makeup on, just like a young Madonna
Hey, I'm in love again
Do you remember prom night?
Gun me around in your sweet Chevelle
We don't need any safety belts
Blast the Scorpions, yeah, we're that cool
They're gonna play the forum soon
Do you want to go?
[Solo] No chords
But somehow we got separated
And I went back home all alone
I said "hey, little girl, would you rock my world?"
Cause I love who you are, you look like a lucky star
With that makeup on, just like a young Madonna
Hey, I'm in love again
Do you remember prom night?
Remember prom night?
Remember prom night
Oo-oo-hoo-hoo
