[Verse]
Em C G Em C G
Shadows seem far away, to be seen so soon
Em C G Em C G
We are all just cast always, stranded on this sand swept dune
Em C G Em C G
My lover wrote to me-eee, said everything is fine
Em C G Em C G
Something about it seemed foreign, she ain't no friend of mine
[Chorus]
Em C G C
Why don't you hide it where the children won't find it
Em C G G
And the priest won't think to look, too
Em C G C
Standing on the rock while the old folks talk
Em C G G
And then you're tryin' to get the milkman screwed
[Post-Chorus]
Em C G C
Em C G G
[Verse]
Em C G Em C G
In search of an original, an original mind
Em C G Em C G
Is there any such thing as precious, or one of a kind?
Em C G Em C G
Crosses on the wall, hadn't crossed your mind
Em C G Em C G
Instead the passage of colors, leads to our passionate times
[Chorus]
Em C G C
Why don't you hide it where the children won't find it
Em C G G
And the priest won't think to look, too
Em C G C
Standing on the rock while the old folks talk
Em C G G
And then you're tryin' to get the milkman screwed
[Post-Chorus]
Em C G C
Em C G G
[Verse]
Em C G Em C G
Soft like silk, smooth like barley wine
Em C G Em C G
Everybody's either breaking up, or getting married in the nick of time
Em C G Em C G
We got soaked in the rain, slept in someone else's bed
Em C G Em C G
We couldn't keep from being close, and I couldn't keep from hitting my head
[Chorus]
Em C G C
Why don't you hide it where the children won't find it
Em C G G
And the priest won't think to look, too
Em C G C
Standing on the rock while the old folks talk
Em C G G
And then you're tryin' to get the milkman screwed
[Chorus]
Em C G C
Why don't you hide it where the children won't find it
Em C G G
And the priest won't think to look, too
Em C G C
Standing on the rock while the old folks talk
Em C G G
And then you're tryin' to get the milkman screwed
[Post-Chorus]
Em C G C
