Gm C F Bb


[Verse 1]
Gm
Burdened by those
      C
wet dreams
Gm                   C
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?

[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

You'll find me on
     F
 my knees

Here comes the

     C
the birds all
scream
      F
"It's time to go to
 Dm
sleep"


[Chorus]

Oh, wherever you
find me

You'll find me on
