Intro: 

Am Dm Am G Am G Am


Verse 1:

               Dm                    Am
We stopped for coffee in the redwood forest

G              Am      G                  Am
Giant dripping leaves, spoons of powdered cream

(This pattern continues throughout verses, until the last line)

I wanted to kiss you, but I wasn't sure how
Like those indians lost in the rain forest
Forced to drag burning wood wherever they went
G               Am     G              E    E7  E
They all had forgotten how to start a fire

Chorus:

C                        E      E7  E
This is why people OD on pills

    C                         E       E7  E
And jump from the golden gate bridge

C                            Am
Anything to feel weightless again

(Play intro chords through once)

Verse 2:

Those poor lost indians, when the white man found them
Most died of TB, the rest went insane
In our motel room you're drinking slice and gin
Reading Moby Dick on the other bed
Remember the first time we slept together?
You said it felt like when you learnt to float
