Or just stick to E if you prefer
[E]When all this mess will get me down I will depart from Chinatown
[E]Weaving in and out of line, the sidewalk's full of merchandise
[A]My nervous tick has got to quit, my cheeks are chewed down to the bit
[E]Up on the roof they're still around the hustling crowds still reach down
[E]I go up there and light a leaf and wish our turn was not so brief
[A]I'm paler than a summer blouse that's packed inside a haunted house
[E]I pack my bags and feel the family here is cropped by many hands
[A]That dig and plant me for the spring, come dig me out my lucid brain
[A]this wilderness up in my head,
[A]this rhythm that's up in my head,
A N.C.
this rhythm it needs to get right out of my clothes and get into my bedroom.
[E]
[E]Is there no reason it can't be the way it was, music and me?
[E]My three best friends so casually just letting go so joyfully
[A]But if I let my wrist get tired, but if I let my spirit cry out
[E]There'll always be that fear of dying or is it just trying to divide?
[E]It makes me think my dearest things are not what they're supposed to be
[A]I trick myself when it is hard, I've got to keep up, oh my god
[E]And hope that I will not be wrong and keep my faith inside a song
[E]And we'll make up 'morrow, which reminds me not to leave them back inside
[A]this wilderness up in my head,
this rhythm that's up in my head,
N.C.
this rhythm it needs to get right out of my clothes and get into my bedroom.
[E]
[E]lion in a coma, lion in a coma

[E]lion in a coma, lion in a coma
[E]who wants to smell the fine aroma,
[E]lion in a coma, lion in a coma
[E]who wants to run but cannot roam
[E]a lion in a coma, lion in a coma
[E]who wants to use his aching bones
[E]a lion in a coma, lion in a coma
[E]don't keep a lion in a coma
[E]lion in a coma, lion in a coma
[E]who wants to smell the fine aroma,
[E]lion in a coma, lion in a coma
[E]who wants to use his aching bones
[E]a lion in a coma, lion in a coma
[E]who wants to run but cannot roam
[E]a lion in a coma, lion in a coma
[E]don't keep a lion in a coma
