Capo 1st fret

[Verse 1]

A boy and a girl, alba[A/D]tross around their necks
Hands burning from the rope, ships stranded in the tropics
Acidification wiped [A/D]out the tiger shark
Let’s try to save their souls, and trust the man with the Torah

[Chorus 1]

We got the wind i[A/D]n our sail, like Darwin on the Beagle
Or Mendel ex[G/F#]perimenting with a pea
We got the wind in our [A/D]sail (in our sail, our sail)
And we can do so many great things to[G/F#]gether, together

[Verse 2]

Breathe in the salt, slicing [A/D]waves at forty knots
Cumulonimbus in the sky, this is what we’ve waited for
And now there’s no more hyperventilating [A/D]in wheelchairs
We’re gonna save the last dog on Funk Islands
We’re had to do it wrong before we could do it right

[Chorus 2]

We got the wind i[A/D]n our sail, like Darwin on the Beagle
Or Mendel ex[G/F#]perimenting with a pea
We got the wind in our [A/D]sail (in our sail, our sail)
And we can do so many great things to[G/F#]gether, together

Pushing the s[G/F#]tone up the hill and if it rolls back
Down, whoa, [G/F#]Sisyphus it rolls back down
Pushing the s[G/F#]tone up the hill and if it rolls back
Down, whoa, [G/F#]Sisyphus it rolls back down

[Chorus 3]

We got the wind i[A/D]n our sail, like Darwin on the Beagle
Or Mendel ex[G/F#]perimenting with a pea
We got the wind in our [A/D]sail (in our sail, our sail)
And we can do so many great things to[G/F#]gether, together
[A/D]
[G/F#]

We got the [A/D]wind in our sail (we got the wind in our sail)
[G/F#]

[Verse 1]

Oh, she left me there, she left me all alone
Oh, but I don’t care, no I don’t mind at all
What really happened, I got distracted, I suck at getting off the phone
Boy in the bubble, saying I love you, I should have written her a note

[Chorus 1]

Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori
When I’m feelin’ lonely, I don’t want to go, oh-oh
Oh-oh, Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori
Wish that they would show me, I can’t let them go, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

[Verse 2]

Oh-oh, she swam away, and flexed her mermaid tail
She was out too deep, when lightning struck the bay
Good witch or bad witch, God is a woman, I wish I hadn’t played the prude
She touched my ankle, Paranoid Android, I felt it in my molecules

[Chorus 2]

Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori
When I’m feelin’ lonely, I don’t want to go, oh-oh
Oh-oh, Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori
Wish that they would show me, I can’t let them go, oh-oh,
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

Slender and tall, they whisked my worries away, sweet piano
Melodies play, feet crushing Sauvignon grapes, I hear them
Whispering, whispering, out at the pool
Remember when we were [C/B]only sixteen, you made me believe in God
Oh when I finally wake[C/E], both girls are gone

[Chorus 3]

Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori
When I’m feelin’ lonely, I don’t want to go, oh-oh
Oh-oh, Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori
Wish that they would show me, I can’t let them go, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Hey, hey
Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey

[Verse 1]

I just want this summer to end
What’s the point of trying to pretend?
She told me to follow the rules
Not all nineteen year olds are cool

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m all alone at night
Dreamin’ about my life
[A/C#] She was too fast for me
I count my steps because I’m OCD

Hey, hey
Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey

[Verse 2]

No life from Paloma to Rose
Sometimes I feel like I’m a ghost
Changing into street clothes in a tent
I just want this summer to end (summer to end)

[Pre-Chorus]

My heart is so landlocked
Nothing but tourist shops
[A/C#] It’s just like a curse, you see
This bummed out feeling that she’s over me, she’s over me

I put my jacket over my head
I’m trying not to stare at her chest
I can’t even dance in the dark
Cause my headphones are still on the seat of her car

Hey, hey
Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey

[Verse 3]

Kumbaya makes me get violent
I just want this summer to end
Whoa

The girl in the pastry shop with the net in her hair
Is making a cannoli for you to take on your hiking trip
In the woods with your bros that you’ve known since second grade
And you may encounter dragons or ruffians and be called upon
To employ your testosterone
In a battle for supremacy and access to females glued to the TV
And even if you are victorious you may receive many cuts, bruises, and scrpes
And you will require band aids and antiseptic ointments
And tender loving kisses on your stab wounds and when you come home
She will be there waiting for you with a fire in her eyes
And a big fat cannoli to shove in your mouth
And that’s why you

Thank God for girls
Holla Jesu Christe
From Tennessee to LA
Thank God for girls
On your reckoning day
You better bow down and pray

She’s so big
She’s so strong
She’s so energetic in her sweaty overalls
Thank God for girls

I’m so glad I got a girl to think of even though she isn’t mine
I think about her all the day and all the night it’s enough to know that she’s a-live
She says I give her sweaty palms she almost had a heart attack
The truth is that I’m just as scared I don’t know how to act
I wish that I could get to know her better
But meeting up in real life would cause the illusion to shatter
I carved her name into all the trees
Sang a song down on one knee
Looking at the underwear page of the Sears catalog like when I was 14
I’m levitating like a magnet turned the wrong way around
I’m like an Indian Fakir tryna’ meditate on a bed of nails with my pants pulled down

Thank God for girls
Holla Jesu Christe
From Tennessee to LA
Thank God for girls
On your reckoning day
You better bow down and pray

She’s so big
She’s so strong
She’s so energetic in her sweaty overalls
Thank God for girls

God took a rib from Adam, ground it up in a centrifuge machine
Mixed it with cardamom and cloves, microwaved it on the popcorn setting
While Adam was like ‘that really hurts’
Going off into the tundra, so psed at God
And he started lighting minor forest fires, stealing osprey eggs
Messing with the bees who were trying to pollinate the echinacea
Until God said, ‘Imma smite you with loneliness
And break your heart in two’
And Adam wept and wailed, tearing out his hair, falling on his knees
Looked to the sky and said

Capo 4

[Verse 1]
You walk by the magazines sitting on the rack at the CVS
One more sad movie star divorce, three hundred died in an airplane wreck
And you think of all the people suffering and you bury that pain
But you can tell me everything and we’ll ride on that wave

[Chorus 1]
If I was king of the world, you’d be my girl, you wouldn’t have to shed one single
Tear unless you wanted to, ‘cause yeah I know what it’s like
If I was king of the world, yeah girl, we could ride a Greyhound all the
[D/F#]Way to the Galapagos, stay for the rest of our lives

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa whoa whoa whoa

[Verse 2]
Dad hit you on the hand just for holding your chopsticks wrong
Then your mom locked you in a shed and Uncle Sam dropped an atom bomb
But you’re not alone, you can let it go and just weep on my breast
And cover me with your tenderness and that pain will pass

[Chorus 2]
If I was king of the world, you’d be my girl, you wouldn’t have to shed one single
Tear unless you wanted to, ‘cause yeah I know what it’s like
If I was king of the world, yeah girl, we could ride a Greyhound all the
[D/F#]Way to the Galapagos, stay for the rest of our lives

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa whoa whoa whoa

We are the small fish
We swim together
No Prozac or Valium, we’ll
Face tsunamis together

[Chorus 3]
If I was king of the world, you’d be my girl, you wouldn’t have to shed one single
Tear unless you wanted to, ‘cause yeah I know what it’s like
If I was king of the world, yeah girl, we could ride a Greyhound all the
[D/F#]Way to the Galapagos, stay for the rest of our lives

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa whoa whoa whoa
