Capo 3rd fret 
G     D               Am7        
Drove downtown in the rain,  nine-thirty on a Tuesday night 
G        D                         Bm7        Am7 
Just to check out the late-night record shop 
G       D                    Am7 
Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane 
G        D                     Bm7            Am7 
When I'm surrounded I just can't stop 
 
It's a matter of instinct, It's a matter of conditioning, 

It's a matter of fact 

You can call me Pavlov's dog 

Ring a bell and I'll salivate -- how'd you like that 

Dr. Landy tell me you're not just a pedagogue 

'Cause right now I'm 
 
Chorus 
G        D                Am7 
Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did 
         G          D                   Em 
Well I'm lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did 
 
So I'm lying here  Just staring at the ceiling tiles 

And I'm thinking about what to think about 

Just listening and re-listening to Smiley Smile 

And I'm wondering if this is some kind of creative drought ?cause I'm 
 
Chorus  
 
Bridge 1 
Am7                D               F          Em 
And if you want to find me I'll be out in the sandbox 
Am7                  D           G       F      Am7 
Wondering where the hell all the love has gone 
           D                    F             Em    Am7 
Playing my guitar and building castles in the sun 
    D            G 
And singing "Fun Fun Fun" 
 
Chorus 
 
Bridge 2 
Am      Em7   (rpt ) 
I had a dream that I was three hundred pounds 

And though I was very heavy 

I floated till I couldn't see the ground 

I floated till I couldn't see the ground 

Somebody help me, I couldn't see the ground 

Somebody help me, I couldn't see the ground 

Somebody help me because I'm
