Em   A  Am   Em    G  Em  G  Em

[Verse 1]
Em                 A       Am             Em
    We stopped for coffee in the redwood forest
G      A       Em       G        A         Em
Giant dripping leaves, spoons of powdered cream
Em               A       Am               Em
    I wanted to kiss you, but I wasn't sure how
G          A    Em      G      A       Em
Like those Indians lost in the rain forest
Em               A       Am                Em
    Forced to drag burning wood wherever they went
G          Em            G             Em       G     B
They all had forgotten how to start a fire

[Chorus]
   G                       B       B7
This is why people OD on pills
  G                            B
And jump from the golden gate bridge
  G                        Em
Anything to feel weightless again

[Instrumental]
Em   A   Am   Em    G  Em  G  Em

[Verse 2]
Em                  A      Am                        Em
     Those poor lost Indians, when the white man found them
G         A   Em      G   A       Em
Most died of TB, the rest went insane
Em             A       Am                     Em
     In our motel room you're drinking slice and gin
G       A    Em       G  A     Em
Reading Moby Dick on the other bed
Em                 A    Am            Em
     Remember the first time we slept together?
G       A       Em    G        A         Em
You said it felt like when you learned to float

[Chorus]
   G                       B       B7
This is why people OD on pills
  G                            B
And jump from the golden gate bridge
  G                        Em
Anything to feel weightless again
