Or just stick to E if you prefer
E
When all this mess will get me down I will depart from Chinatown
E
Weaving in and out of line, the sidewalk's full of merchandise
A
My nervous tick has got to quit, my cheeks are chewed down to the bit
E
Up on the roof they're still around the hustling crowds still reach down
E
I go up there and light a leaf and wish our turn was not so brief
A
I'm paler than a summer blouse that's packed inside a haunted house
E
I pack my bags and feel the family here is cropped by many hands
A
That dig and plant me for the spring, come dig me out my lucid brain
A
this wilderness up in my head,
A
this rhythm that's up in my head,
A N.C.
this rhythm it needs to get right out of my clothes and get into my bedroom.
E
E
Is there no reason it can't be the way it was, music and me?
E
My three best friends so casually just letting go so joyfully
A
But if I let my wrist get tired, but if I let my spirit cry out
E
There'll always be that fear of dying or is it just trying to divide?
E
It makes me think my dearest things are not what they're supposed to be
A
I trick myself when it is hard, I've got to keep up, oh my god
E
And hope that I will not be wrong and keep my faith inside a song
E
And we'll make up 'morrow, which reminds me not to leave them back inside
A
this wilderness up in my head,
this rhythm that's up in my head,
N.C.
this rhythm it needs to get right out of my clothes and get into my bedroom.
E
E
lion in a coma, lion in a coma
E
lion in a coma, lion in a coma

lion in a coma, lion in a coma
E
who wants to smell the fine aroma,
E
lion in a coma, lion in a coma
E
who wants to run but cannot roam
E
a lion in a coma, lion in a coma
E
who wants to use his aching bones
E
a lion in a coma, lion in a coma
E
don't keep a lion in a coma
E
lion in a coma, lion in a coma
E
who wants to smell the fine aroma,
E
lion in a coma, lion in a coma
E
who wants to use his aching bones
E
a lion in a coma, lion in a coma
E
who wants to run but cannot roam
E
a lion in a coma, lion in a coma
E
don't keep a lion in a coma
