 You bought me a rabbit
    B5
 To keep me company
       A5
 And I'm here in my car
         B5
 And the rabbit's here with me
A5
 Heading out Highway One
   B5
 Respecting posted speed limits
      A5
 And I tried to figure this one out
       B5
 But I can't find any meaning in it, and I'm

A5                            F5              E5

A5                 F5      E5
 Take this rabbit into Malibu, and he'll

You sent me a package
Marked "live animals instead"
And the sun's coming up quickly above the
Rising tide, and I'm

Sick and tired of trying to figure out your gestures, and I'm
Sick and tired of wondering what your presents mean, I'm gonna
Take this rabbit into Malibu, and he'll
Chew on sour grass while I wolf down Dexedrine
