*

Mellow song from the first album.

[intro]

Cm     Ab     Eb     Bb
 Cm     Ab     Eb     Bb     F


[verse]

          Cm            Ab         Eb      Bb
With the cops on your lips it's a holy routine
          Cm            Ab              Eb              Bb
If you'd stop all your trips you could see what I mean
      Cm        Ab              Eb         Bb
I forgot not to slip bout your under eighteen

[prechorus]

        F                                    F   Gm
You had it in your hands, had it in your hands
        Ab                                   Ab  A
You had it in your hands, had it in your hands
Bb
Your hands

[chorus]

Eb                       Eb/D
     Leave it up to me
Cm                        G
     It's a known disease
Ab                            Eb
     Keep it in your fleece
        Ab                      Eb
Don't worry about the customs police, don't
        Ab                           Fm                 Bb
I'll tell you just how good it could be this lazy summer

[verse]

        Cm      Ab              Eb              Bb
But you got no relief from the pain in your head
          Cm          Ab            Eb                Bb
and it's hollow and greased and it says that you're dead
        Cm            Ab                Eb              Bb
But you make fun and tease and the things that you said

[prechorus]

        F                                       F   Gm
They always stab your back, always stab your back
        Ab                                      Ab  A
They always stab your back, always stab your back
  Bb
Your back

[chorus]

Eb                       Eb/D
     Leave it up to me
Cm                        G
     It's a known disease
Ab                            Eb
     Keep it in your fleece
        Ab                      Eb
Don't worry about the customs police, don't
        Ab                           Fm                 Bb
I'll tell you just how good it could be this lazy summer
