Green Mind (J. Mascis)
C#m F# E
I picture things a certain way
G# C#m
And then go back to it another day
F# A
In green minds, it's okay
C#m F# E
'Cos you know where you're gonna be
G# C#m
Alls you have to do is come with me
F# A
It's cool, they're probably asleep
C#m F#
On the outside
C#m F#
It's where they always hide
C#m F# A
Come to my side, and I'll introduce you to
C#m F#
Some of their kind
C#m F#
I know you always tried
C#m
Now it's your time
F# A
To take in their point of view
B
No it's nothing new
E G#m
I've been bouncing off the walls
C#m
I can't hang with them for long
F# A
They're cool, but I need you
E G#m
On a certain level I think they're great
C#m
But on another I can't relate
F# A
To anything they do
C#m F#
On the outside
C#m F#
Might be with them tonight
C#m
Unless you decide to call
F# A B
Then I'll check out you
C#m F# E
Hangin' heavy's such a routine
G#
I've just begun to forget
C#m F# A
Why I seldom try to break out of their scene
C#m F# E
Now I've gotta work on you
G#
So the frogs'll hang
C#m F#
They'll always be hanging
A B
Now we're here, what do we do?

E G#m
I've been sorting through the prose
C#m
Countin' "your"s, "I"s, "they'll"s and "those"
F# A
Can you help move it along?
E G#m
I've been picking through my thoughts
C#m
It's a shame my judgement rots
F# A
I sure feel where I belong
(break)
C#m F#
On the outside
C#m F#
Well, it'll be awhile
C#m
I've gotta unfry
F# A B
'fore I pick it up with you, help me
C#m F# E
Do I need that stable care?
G# C#m
Don't I know that they'll be there?
F# A
Does that count now that you've appeared?
C#m F# E
Or do I need that stable core?
G# C#m
Or do I jump for something more?
F# A B
Are you all that I fear?
E G#m
I've been picking through my thoughts
C#m
It's a shame my judgement rots
F# A
And I sure feel where I belong
E G#m
It's a call that's tough to make
C#m
It could be a big mistake
F# A
Can't you help move it along?
E G#m
If I keep stewin' bout how I feel
Eventually I'll split
C#m F#
Then I won't have to deal
A
Sounds like a plan
E G#m
It's kind of lame to let it slide
C#m
Knowing either way I haven't tried
F# A
Can't figure out where it all stands
C#m F#
In the green mindThanks to the original poster.
