VERSE 1 (6/8 TIME):
          Cadd9         Em                 Am7          G
Now it's day, I've been trying to get that taste off my tongue
      Cadd9       Em               Am7            G
I was dreaming of just you, now our cereal, it is warm.
          Cadd9       Em            Am7        G
Attractive day in the rubble of the night from before.
            Cadd9     Em            Am7              G
Now I can't walk in a vacuum! I feel ugly, I feel my pores.
         Cadd9         Em            Am7                 G
It's the trees of this day that I do battle with for the light,
       Cadd9         Em            Am7            G
Then I start to feel tragic, people greet me, I'm polite.
            Cadd9
"What's the day?"
            Em
"What's you doin'?"
            Am7
"How's your mood?"
            G
"How's that song?"
       Cadd9        Em          Am7                G
Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone
            Cadd9 
And I can't lift you up, mind is tired
        Em 
Oh it's family beaches that I desire
  Am7 
A sacred night, we'll watch the fireworks
    G
The frightened babies poo
                Cadd9               
They've got two flashing eyes and they're colored why
         Em            Am7            G
They make me feel that I'm only all I see sometimes!


MAIN PROGRESSION x3
Third time, land on the G and change to 4/4 time.


BRIDGE (4/4 TIME)

G, Bm7, D6 (quietly)

G
I've been eatin' with a good friend who said
"A genie made me out of the earth's skin"
       Bm7 
But in spite of her she is my birth kin
    D6
She spits me out in her surly blood rivers
G
All the people life lurkin'
In dominions of a hot Turk dish
       Bm7        
If the elephants be reaching for our purses
     D6
Then meet me after the world with the shivers
 
REPEAT 3 TIMES, THEN:

VERSE (4/4 TIME)

            Cadd9
"What's the day?"
            Em
"What's you doin'?"
            Am7
"How's your food?"
            G
"How's that song?"
       Cadd9        Em          Am7                G
Man it passes right by me, it's behind me, now it's gone
            Cadd9 
And I can't lift you up cause mind is tired
     Em 
It's family beaches that I desire
  Am7 
A sacred night, we'll watch the fireworks
    G
They frightened the babies and you know
                Cadd9               
THEY'VE GOT TWO flashing eyes and if they're colored why
         Em            Am7                G
They make me feel that you're only what I see sometimes!



There you go.
I understand if you want to substitute the D6 for a normal D, I just like it is all.
