G#   F#        A     F#
I'm buried up to my neck in
G#   F#   A    F#
Contradictory flies
G#      F#           A      F#
I take pride as the king of illiterature,
F#            E    B    F#
I'm very ape, and very nice

If you ever need anything please don't
Hesitate to ask someone else first
I'm too busy acting like I'm not naïve
I've seen it all, I was here first

Chorus:

G# B D F#             G# B D F#
         Out of the ground,
          G# B D F#
Into the sky
            G# B D F#
Out of the sky,
          G#
Into the dirt

If you ever need anything please don't
Hesitate to ask someone else first
I'm too busy acting like I'm not naïve
I've seen it all, I was here first

Chorus:
Out of the ground
Into the sky
Out of the sky
Into the ground
Out of the ground
Into the sky
Out of the sky
Into the dirt
