G    D       E
 you in the water
G    D          E
underneath the tarp
         G      D        E
it don't rain under the water
         G      D        E
it don't rain inside my heart


      G      D   E
don't follow me home
      G      D   E
don't follow me home


 G          D       E
you walking in the gulf stream
G      D          E
tail between your legs
         G
it's not funny
D      E                 G     D       E
if you ask me, it's just funny in your head


[G D B - G D B]

              G        D
hang on, hang on, hang on
     B                 G  D B
hang on, hang on, hang on


   G         D            E            G       D           E
my tongue is filled with sugar, and my back is filled with pain
     G         D      E                    G       D     E
your tongue is on my shoulder, and there's nothing on my brain


      G      D   E
don't follow me home
      G      D   E
don't follow me home


G     D           E             G
shake barrels of whisky down my throat
     D         E
i'll still see straight
G      D        E         G        D        E
  ride out on a pony even loose, i won't be late


[G D B - G D B]

              G        D
hang on, hang on, hang on
     B                 G  D B
hang on, hang on, hang on

G    D         E             G     D       E
i'll ride on a pony till i'm dusty and i'm old
   G       D           E                G          D     E
my head is filled with flowers, and i'm dressed in shiny gold


    G          D     E
i'm dressed in shiny gold
D       E            G       D     E
keep an eye on me, i shimmer on horizons
D       E            G       D     E
keep an eye on me, i shimmer on horizons


  G       D     B
i shimmer on horizons
  G       D     B
a shimmer on horizons
  G       D     B
i shimmer on horizons
  G       D     B
a shimmer on horizons
  G       D       B
a shimmer in your eyes, son
  G       D       B
a shimmer in your eyes, son
  G       D       B
a shimmer in your eye
