Green Mind  (J. Mascis)


C#m             F#            E
  I picture things a certain way
                G#              C#m
  And then go back to it another day
         F#                A
  In green minds, it's okay
C#m         F#                       E
  'Cos you know where you're gonna be
              G#           C#m
  Alls you have to do is come with me
        F#                    A
  It's cool, they're probably asleep


           C#m     F#
  On the outside
                   C#m         F#
  It's where they always hide
            C#m               F#             A
  Come to my side, and I'll introduce you to
               C#m     F#
  Some of their kind
                C#m       F#
  I know you always tried
               C#m
  Now it's your time
            F#                  A
  To take in their point of view
                 B
  No it's nothing new


E                                   G#m
  I've been bouncing off the walls
                                   C#m
  I can't hang with them for long
            F#               A
  They're cool, but I need you
E                                        G#m
  On a certain level I think they're great
                              C#m
  But on another I can't relate
      F#          A
  To anything they do


            C#m    F#
  On the outside
                   C#m        F#
  Might be with them tonight
                C#m
  Unless you decide to call
   F#                  A   B
  Then I'll check out you


 C#m         F#                E
  Hangin' heavy's such a routine
               G#
  I've just begun to forget
   C#m           F#                    A
  Why I seldom try to break out of their scene
 C#m          F#           E
  Now I've gotta work on you
            G#
  So the frogs'll hang
            C#m            F#
  They'll always be hanging
               A                B
  Now we're here, what do we do?


E                                     G#m
  I've been sorting through the prose
                                               C#m
  Countin' "your"s, "I"s, "they'll"s and "those"
         F#               A
  Can you help move it along?
E                                    G#m
  I've been picking through my thoughts
                             C#m
  It's a shame my judgement rots
     F#                    A
  I sure feel where I belong


(break)

             C#m    F#
  On the outside
                C#m     F#
  Well, it'll be awhile
              C#m
  I've gotta unfry
           F#              A         B
  'fore I pick it up with you, help me


C#m      F#                E
  Do I need that stable care?
     G#                 C#m
  Don't I know that they'll be there?
        F#                          A
  Does that count now that you've appeared?
C#m         F#               E
  Or do I need that stable core?
       G#              C#m
  Or do I jump for something more?
       F#                  A   B
  Are you all that I fear?


E                                     G#m
  I've been picking through my thoughts
                               C#m
  It's a shame my judgement rots
               F#               A
  And I sure feel where I belong
E                                G#m
  It's a call that's tough to make
                         C#m
  It could be a big mistake
              F#             A
  Can't you help move it along?
E                                G#m
  If I keep stewin' bout how I feel

  Eventually I'll split
                         C#m  F#
  Then I won't have to deal
                  A
  Sounds like a plan
E                                  G#m
  It's kind of lame to let it slide
                                   C#m
  Knowing either way I haven't tried
           F#                       A
  Can't figure out where it all stands
                   C#m   F#
  In the green mind
