[Intro]GmCGmCGmCFBb[Verse 1]Gm
Burdened by those
C
wet dreams
GmC
Of people having fun
Gm
'Cause I know goin'
C
on vacation
F
Brings the worst out
Bb
of everyone
Gm
And every day is a
C
miracle
Gm
Not to mention a
C
threat
Gm
Of bees nests
nestled
in a
C
hole in the yard
F
Of Travolta's bald
Bb
head
[Pre-Chorus 1]Bb
Is it the TV static
of a
C
distant crowd
F
or maybe just the
Dm
breeze?
[Chorus]Bb
Oh, wherever you
find me
C
You'll find me on
F
my knees
[Instrument]GmCGmCGmCFBb[Verse 2]Gm
Burdened by those
C
nightmares
Gm
So you may find
C
me awake
Gm
In the dark, I
C
consider my ark
F
Out the window, the
Bb
bushes shake
Gm
And I'm speaking
C
in tongues
Gm
Those hiccups
C
don't quit
Gm
I had a thought
but
C
I forgot
F
Like a train on a
Bb
burning bridge
[Pre-Chorus 2]Bb
Is it the quiet
hiss of a
C
midnight piss
F
or a river turned
Dm
to creek?
[Chorus]Bb
Oh, wherever you
find me
C
You'll find me on
F
my knees
Bb
Oh, wherever you
find me
C
You'll find me on
F
my knees
[Instrument]GmCGmCGmCFBbBbCFDmBbCF[Pre-Chorus 3]Bb
Here comes the
sun and
C
the birds all
scream
F
"It's time to go to
Dm
sleep"
[Chorus]Bb
Oh, wherever you
find me
C
You'll find me on
F
my knees
Bb
Oh, wherever you
find me
C
You'll find me on
F
my knees
