Bm7  Bm   E          B
When the world is a monster
Bm7 Bm   E           B
Bad to swallow you whole
E                             B    G#m
Kick the clay that holds the teeth in
G                         F#
Throw your trolls out the door

If you're needing inspiration
Philomath is where I go by dawn
Lawyer Jeff, he knows the lowdown
He's mighty bad to visit home

Chorus:
E           A       F#      B
I've been there I know the way
Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way
Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way
Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way

When your hands are feeling empty
Stick head jumpin off the ground, 'round
Tris is sure to shirr the deers out
Brother Ray can sing my song

Chorus

B D A             B
   Hands down, Calechee bound
   Landlocked kiss the ground
   Dirt of seven continents
   going round and round
   Go on ahead Mr. Citywide hypnotized,
   suit and tied
   Gentlemen, testify

If your world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
Philomath, they know the lowdown
Throw your trolls out the door
