[Verse]

Em
This machine's a backwards thinker
     D4
That looks for you until 

its neck hurts
Em
Not so hard to be a person
   D4
If you've got something 

you can reference
 
 
[Refrain]

G                    D
Grease in your hair, fingernail polish
G                  D
Water balloon eyes totally honest
 
 
[Verse]

Em
 I've worked up a sincere speech
  D4
I just don't know how 

I'm gonna say it
Em
 The second I stand up, 

I freeze
   D4
My only move here is to fail
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

G                   D4
Don't splash apart, everything changes
G               D4
All jumbled up, wide-open spaces
G                    D4
Grease in your hair, fingernail polish
G                  D4
Water balloon eyes totally honest
 
 
[Chorus]

           G             
Down we go on thе grass,   
        D4
magnets make machines go crazy
          G                         
I usеd to know you well, you give me
  D4
 such a future feeling
             G                      
We're in the middle of some kind of 
D4
cosmic rearrangement
            G                     D4
You were so funny then and I kept thinking 

I would catch it
 
 
[Bridge]

 Em
Stay in one state
        D
Nothing is stable
Em
Whip on a cape
         D
Step on a cable
Em
I have no more feeling for it
D
I have no more frame of mind
Em
I have no more feeling for it
D
I have no more frame of mind
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

G                    D4
Grease in your hair, fingernail polish
G                  D4
Water balloon eyes totally honest
G                   D4
Don't splash apart, everything changes
G               D4
All jumbled up, wide-open spaces
 
 
[Chorus]

           G             
Down we go on thе grass, 
        D4
magnets make machines go crazy
          G                          
I usеd to know you well, you give me 
D4
such a future feeling
             G                      
We're in the middle of some kind of 
D4

            G                     D4
You were so funny then and I kept thinking 

I would catch it
 
 
[Post-Chorus]

G       D4
 I kept thinking 

I would catch it
G       D4
 I kept thinking 

I would catch it
G       D4
 I kept thinking 

I would catch it
