Em
This machine's a backwards thinker
      D
That looks for you until its neck hurts
Em
Not so hard to be a person
    D
If you've got something you can reference

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

I've worked up a sincere speech
I just don't know how I'm gonna say it
The second I stand up, I freeze
My only move here is to fail

Don't splash apart
Everything changes
All jumbled up
Wide-open spaces
Grease in your hair
Fingernail polish
Water balloon eyes
Totally honest

Chorus:
           G
Down we go on the grass
         D
Magnets make machines go crazy
I used to know you well
You give me such a future feeling
We're in the middle of
Some kind of cosmic rearrangement
You were so funny then
And I kept thinking I would catch it

 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

Grease in your hair
Fingernail polish
Water balloon eyes
Totally honest
Don't splash apart
Everything changes
All jumbled up
Wide open spaces

Chorus:
Down we go on the grass
Magnets make machines go crazy
I used to know you well
You give me such a future feeling
We're in the middle of
Some kind of cosmic rearrangement
You were so funny then
And I kept thinking I would catch it

G        D
I kept thinking I would catch it
G        D
I kept thinking I would catch it
G        D
I kept thinking I would catch it
