 E                         G
Tell your friends not to think out loud,
D            E
until they swallow.
E                 G         D
Whisper things into my brain,
                      E
your voice sounds so hollow.

I am not a leader of men
Since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink
Since it's so hard to swallow?
So hard to swallow

So turn the television off
And I will sing a song
And if you suddenly have the urge
You can sing along

I touch your hand, I touch your face
I think the fruit is rotten
Give me lessons on how to breathe
Because I think I've forgotten
I think I've forgotten

One day, out to a cliff
That overlooks the water
I jumped in to save a girl
It was somebody's daughter

And now the ring that's on my hand
It was given to me by her
And to this day we all sit around
And dream of ways to get higher
To get much higher

Tell your friends not to think aloud
Until they swallow
Whisper things into my brain
Your voice sounds so hollow

I am not a leader of men
Since I prefer to follow
Do you think I could have a drink
Since it's so hard to swallow?
So hard to swallow
