                 D                          G
Batten down the hatch, 'cause we are coming in,
                D                       G
Like uninvited guests, romancing everything
                 D                         G
Keep you hands away from what you can't afford
                            D
We don't think that we'll stay now
               G
that you look bored

Chorus:
           A#              C
God only knows what Brian Wilson meant,
               A#                C
Pick out your clothes with some real intent
                   A#                  C
You don't seem to care that I've been waiting here,
                A#              C        A#
Pulling out my hair for you to come, my dear

I'll go all the way, as long as you go first
Running all this way has given me a thirst
Believe in what you want, as long as you can see
What's right in front of you,
I guess that that's just me

Chorus:
God only knows what Brian Wilson meant,
Pick out your clothes with some real intent
You don't seem to care that I've been waiting here
Pulling out my hair for you to come, my dear
