 C          G      Am
Don't fall down tonight
         F
You're alive and so am I
 C        G
Hold on, we might
 Am               F
Hotwire this old car, and drive

  C
Sticks and stones
               G
They say 'But we don't have bones inside our brains'
                           Am
If bones are the walls between you and I
                               F
Then I feel pretty temped, to beat myself
with sticks and stones anyway

            C
I've got a ray gun in my bag
A treasure map under my hat
     G
And I'll never miss a headshot or a dotted line
            Am
I've spent way too muh time
Thinkin' about, dreamin' about life
             F
To miss the point
Which is just listen
                         C G Am F
Cause I've listened for mine
