I've been long,  a long way from here,    put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
      G                        C
And drank 'til I was thirsty again
          G      C/G                      G    C/G        G               G/C
We went searching, through thrift store jungles, found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo 
      G                           C
And Benny Goodman's corset and a pen

                        D      C                          D
Well, O.K. I made this up, I promised you I'd never give up

If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad

If it makes you happy, then why the hell are you so sad?

You get down,    real low down,   you listen to Coltrane, derail your own train,
      G                        C
Well who hasn't been there before?
         G   C/G             G      C/G            G                        C/G  
I come round,   around the hard way,    bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
      G                       C
And serve you French toast again

                          D     C                                  D
Well, O.K. I still get stoned, I'm not the kind of boy you'd take home

We've been far,  away from here,    put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
     G                 C
And everywhere in between

                    D     C                                  D
