[Verse 1]
D#m B
I know a clean way out, the vandals made it low
B C# D#m
The day so lean, the night time slips in a song
D#m B
There was a shot way out, down past Varina
B C# D#m
I burn my bed and run naked in the Winter
[Chorus 1]
G#m D#m F# B
Well oh well, the pines are getting to me, consider my life
A#m D#m
I'm wild but I'm not free
[Verse 2]
D#m B
By all accounts it was a heavy snow
B C# D#m
Brown is black by contrast I'm aglow
D#m B
I hear, "Wait, you! I'm the man, you're the beast!"
B C# D#m
But I'm just running so how can that be?
[Chorus 2]
G#m D#m F# B
Well oh well, the pines are getting to me, consider my life
A#m D#m
I'm wild but I'm not free
G#m D#m F# B
Well oh well, the pines are getting to me, believe me my eyes
A#m D#m
There's a thousand left like me
[Ending verse]
A#m B G#m
Reconstruct my body, capture me in flight
A#m B G#m F# D#m
Glue in resin marbles, give me shiny eyes...Life like
[Outro]
D#m D#sus2 - and repeat in the same way as the intro
If in the final lyric line, the G#m to F# transition is confusing at all I hope the diagram following helps.
| 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 |
| G#m G#m | G#m F# |
It's a quick jump to the F# before going to D#m again
