[riff 2] x1

[Em] Can't stop addicted to the shindig
[D] Chop top he says I'm gonna win big
[Bm] Choose not a life of imitation
[C] Distant cousin to the reservation

[Em] Defunct the pistol that you pay for
[D] This punk the feeling that you stay for
[Bm] In time I want to be your best friend
[C] Eastside love is living on the westend

[Em] Knocked out but boy you better come to
[D] Don't die you know the truth as some do
[Bm] Go write your message on the pavement
[C] Burn so bright I wonder what the wave meant

[Em] White heat is screaming in the jungle
[D] Complete the motion if you stumble
[Bm] Go ask the dust for any answers
[C] Come back strong with 50 belly dancers

(Chorus)
The [G//] world I love
The [D//] tears I've dropped
To [Bm//] be part of
the [C//] wave can't stop
[G//] Ever wonder [D//]
if it's [Bm//] all for [C//] you

The [G//] world I love
The [D//] trains I hop
To [Bm//] be part of
The [C//] wave can't stop
[G//] Come and tell [D//] me
when it's [Bm/] time [C/] to
(3, 4)

[Em] Sweetheart is bleeding in the snowcone
[D] So smart she's leading me to ozone
[Bm] Music the great communicator
[C] Use two sticks to make it in the nature

[Em] I'll get you into penetration
[D] The gender of a generation
[Bm] The birth of every other nation
[C] Worth your weight the gold of meditation

[Em] This chapter's going to be a close one
[D] Smoke rings I know you're going to blow one
[Bm] All on a spaceship persevering
[C] Use my hands for everything but steering

[Em] Can't stop the spirits when they need you
[D] Mop tops are happy when they feed you
[Bm] Jay butterfly is in the treetop
[C] Birds that blow the meaning into bebop

(Chorus)
The [G//] world I love
The [D//] tears I've dropped
To [Bm//] be part of
the [C//] wave can't stop
[G//] Ever wonder [D//]
if it's [Bm//] all for [C//] you

The [G//] world I love
The [D//] trains I hop
To [Bm//] be part of
The [C//] wave can't stop
[G//] Come and tell [D//] me
when it's [Bm/] time [C/] to
(3, 4)

[Em] Wait a minute I'm [D] passing out,
win or [Bm] lose, just like [C] you
[Em] Far more shockin' than [D] anything
I ever [Bm] knew, how 'bout [C] you

[Em] Ten more reasons why [D] I need
somebody [Bm] new, just like [C] you
[Em] Far more shockin' than [D] anything
I ever [Bm] knew, right on [C] cue
