Verse 1:
A E G D A Asus4 A Asus4
When I was a boy I thought about the times I'd be a man
A E G D A Asus4 A Asus4
I'd sit inside a bottle and pretend that I was in a can
Am C* G D A Asus4 A Asus4
In my lonely room I'd sit my mind in an ice cream cone
Am C G
You can throw me if you wanna 'cause I'm a bone and I go
A (Am)
[E A A] [E A A] <- bass

* mistake during verse 1: bass plays E pattern over C chord
[repeat intro]
Verse 2:
If I don't start cryin' it's because that I have got no eyes
My father's in the fireplace and my dog lies hypnotized
Through a crack of light I was unable to find my way
Trapped inside a night but I'm a day and I go
Oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah!
