"Lost and Lazy"
From the album "Since When"

Standard Tuning



VERSE 1
G
Mother is this my gift?  Flowing in Nature
                              D
Like the Buddha accepting the term
Am                        C
This is destruction the theory creation
                G               D
And the people watch what they want
Am                 C             G
Thank you but I'm well enough by now

VERSE 2
G
Though I'd like to change into someone better
                           D
someone mother would never know
Am                 C
This is mutation, self mutilation
                 G                 D
and the purge of love it costs too much
Am                 C              G
Thank you but I'm well enough by now

CHORUS
G              D          Am
I say I'm lost, cause I'm lazy
G            D          Am
Say I'm caught, but I'm not
G            D  Am           C
It's an excuse, not even my own
Am           C              G
I picked it up to be left alone

VERSE 3
G
Now I'm in the presence, the greatest indifference
                   D
Being wise, being old
Am                           C
They can find you out, when you get too loud
                 G                 D
and you start to weep for love and peace
Am                  C            G
Thank you but I'm well enough I know

CHORUS
G             D        Am
I say I'm lost        and I may be
G           D          Am
Say I'm caught but I'm not
G           D  Am             C
It's an excuse not even my own
Am          C              G
I picked it up to be left alone

G             D        Am
I say I'm lost        and I may be
G           D          Am
Say I'm caught but I'm not
G           D  Am             C
It's an excuse not even the truth
Am          C              G
I picked it up to get away from you
