	  		Intro: C   F   G  (x3) 

Verse: 1 
                         C       F  G 
She was walking down the sidewalk 
                         C  F  G 
Sniffing swiftly in the wind 
                           C      F  G 
Thinking of everything and nothing 
                           C    F  G 
Just another flighty human being 
                     C     F  G 
And satellites where arcing 
               C   F  G 
Undetected overhead 
                    C        F  G 
Her cells were busy splitting 
                    C   F  G 
And jettisoning the dead 

 
    F  G  C          F 
Beauty is as beauty does 
       C           G 
In the eyes of the beholder 
         F                   C 
Or collectively in all of us 


Instrumental: C   F   G  (x2) 

Verse: 2 
                     C     F  G 
She was waving to a cyclist 
                     C  F  G 
As he went coasting by 
                  C        F  G 
Through a lazy intersection 
                             C    F  G 
Towards the remainder of his life 
                     C     F  G 
And a feral cat went diving 
                  C    F  G 
Behind a dumpster there 
                           C   F  G 
Which displaced a big brown rat 
                                 C    F  G 
That went fleeing with a comical flair 

 
       F     G      C       F 
We are trapped, but we are free 
    C             G 
To go through the motions 
               F               C 
And be just as happy as we can be. 


Instrumental: C   F   G  (x2) 

Verse: 3 
               C        F  G 
And later on I held her 
        C        F  G 
In my skinny arms 
                         C     F  G 
My chapped lips were whispering 
            C  F  G 
Esoteric alarms 
                         C     F  G 
But her warm breath assuaged me 
                 C    F  G 
And the music returned 
                C    F  G 
Our dancing continued 
                         C   F  G 
While big forest fires burned 

Outro 
         F      G    C        F 
Space is spooky and time is a trip 
              C                                   G 
Don't let the preachers and teachers and hipsters fool you 
               F                   C 
There ain't no rips in the fabric.
