G C G D

[Verse 1]
G
I am not in Kansas
             C
I can't slow down and I can't stand it
          G
Broadcast News into Hallelujah
            D
Hanne Darboven had a great idea
G
Make a list, write it down
C
Shave your head, draw a crown
G
Move back home with mom and dad
    D
The pool is drained and they're not there
   G
My bedroom is a stranger's gun room
C
Ohio's in a downward spiral
G
I can't go back there anymore
D
Since alt-right opium went viral


[Chorus]
C    Am
I am not in Kansas
        G                 D
Where I am, I don't know where
C             Am         G                       D
Take me for a walk and blame this on the water dripping off the spear


[Verse 2]
G
You even get to wear a dress
C
And feed his flesh to wayward daughters
G
Everyone is so impressed
D
Teachers, neighbors, and mothers, fathers
G
First Testament was really great
    C
The sequel was incredible
         G
Like the Godfathers or the first two Strokes
       D
Every document's indelible
G
Infidels and Heartbreak Beats
C
Smidges of bad ecstasy
  G
I must have left it in my pocket
D
With my Christianity in my rocket
    C                 Am
I'm binging hard on Annette Bening
    G                  D
I'm listening to R.E.M. again
   C                Am
Begin The Begin, over and over
    G                D
Begin The Begin, over and over


[Chorus]
C        Am
I am not in Kansas
        G                   D
Where I am, I don't know where
C            Am                            G                       D
Take me for a walk and blame this on the water dripping off the spear


[Interlude]
        G                         C
If the sadness of life makes you tired
        D                        G
And the failures of man make you sigh
                              C
You can look to the time soon arriving
          D
When this noble experiment
Am                         G
Winds down and calls it a day


[Verse 3]
G
My shadow's getting shorter
      C
I'm a child at the border
   G
Oh Godmother, you can't ignore us
            D
There isn't anybody else left to love us
  G
I wanted you when I was a child
  C
I raked the leaves and I started fires
G
Now I'm reading whatever you give me
     D
It's half your fault so half forgive me
G
I'm way behind in reflex math
C
Biphasic sleepless emotional crashes
G
Two days into one, shove 'em together
  D
I always wake up way before the weather
   G
My mother needs an army
        C
But I'm leaving home and I'm scared that I won't
G
Have the balls to punch a Nazi
D
Father, what is wrong with me?


[Chorus]
C       Am
I am not in Kansas
        G                    D
Where I am, I don't know where
C             Am                           G                          D
Take me for a walk and blame this on the water dripping off the spear


[Verse 4]
G
Oil droppers, rubber gloves
C
I raked the leaves, I lit 'em up
G
I read whatever it is you give me
D
It's half your fault so half forgive me
G
At the real Neil Armstrong taught me
   C
To play cutthroat at my Aunt Angela's house
G
While my real dad's skate got caught in the ice
    D
And he drove us home with a spiral fracture
G
It was then I was enlightened
        C
Roberta Flack the whole way home
G
I was entirely unfrightened
D
Dozing off and eternally un-alone
   G                        C
The flowers cover over everything
                 G
They cover over everything
                             D
The flowers cover over everything


[Chorus]
C        Am
I am not in Kansas
G                        D
Where I am, I don't know where
C            Am                          G                       D
Take me for a walk and blame this on the water dripping off the spear


[Outro]
         G                      C
Time has come now to stop being human
        D                       G
Time to find a new creature to be
     G                    C
Be a fish or a weed or a sparrow
        D                                      C            G
For the Earth has grown tired and all of your time has expired
        G                          C
All the gardens are sprouting with flowers
        D                           G
All the treetops are bursting with birds
        G                          C
And the people all know that it's over
     D                            Am                      G
They lay down their ears and they hang up their tiresome words
