       D                      Em               G
Got a wishbone drying on the windowsill in my kitchen
         D                  Em                   G
Just in case I wake up and realize I've chosen wrong
             D
I love this life that I have
     Em                    G
The vine hanging over the door
                              D
And the dog who comes when I call
       Em                        G
But I wonder sometimes what I'm missing

        A                                    G
But my hot blood's been burning for so many summers now
              D                           A
It's time to cool it down, wherever that leads

Chorus:
       G                  D                             A
'Cause all the beautiful girls they will fade like the roses
    G                         D                      A
And all the times they will change, it'll all come around
          G
I don't know
D        A                           G
Maybe I'm just stoned at the nail salon
D        A                           G    D  A
Maybe I'm just stoned at the nail salon again

Got a memory of waiting in your bed wearing only my earrings
We'd go dancing all over the landmines under our town
But the sun has to rise
When it does, we'll divide up the papers
Two former hell-raisers
I'm still crazy for you, babe

Well, my hot blood's been burning for so many summers now
It's time to cool it down, wherever that leads

Chorus:
'Cause all the music you loved at sixteen you'll grow out of
And all the times they will change, it'll all come around
I don't know
Maybe I'm just
Maybe I'm just stoned at the nail salon again

Bm                G
Ohhhhhh, make it good
Bm                G
Ohhhhhh, make it good
     A7
I'd ride and I'd ride on the carrousel
                     G
'Round and 'round forever if I could
                  D
But it's time to cool it down
               A
Whatever that means
      G                     D                       A
Spend all the evenings you can with the people who raised you
       G                         D                      A
'Cause all the times they will change, it'll all come around

          G
I don't know
D        A                           G
Maybe I'm just stoned at the nail salon
D        A                           G    D  A
Maybe I'm just stoned at the nail salon again
