Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]

[Intro 2]
[Em][D][Bm][C]

[Verse 1]
[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]East side lovers living on the west end

[Verse 2]
[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 fifty belly dancers

[Chorus 1]
The [G]world I love, [D]the tears I drop
To [Bm]be part of th[C]e wave, can't stop
[G]Ever won[D]der if it's [Bm]all for [C]you?
The [G]world I love, [D]the trains I hop
To [Bm]be part of th[C]e wave, can't stop
[G]Come and tell [D]me when it's [Bm]time [C]to

[Verse 3]
[Em]Sweetheart is bleeding in the snow cone
[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

[Verse 4]
[Em]This chapter's going to be a close one
[D]Smoke rings, I know your 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]J. Butterfly is in the treetop
[C]Birds that blow the meaning into bebop

[Chorus 2]
The [G]world I love, [D]the tears I drop
To [Bm]be part of th[C]e wave, can't stop
[G]Ever won[D]der if it's [Bm]all for [C]you?
The [G]world I love, [D]the trains I hop
To [Bm]be part of th[C]e wave, can't stop
[G]Come and tell [D]me when it's [Bm]time [C]to

[Bridge 1]
[Em]Wait a minute I'm pass[D]ing out
Win or [Bm]lose, just like [C]you
[Em]Far more shocking than a[D]n ything
I ever [Bm]knew, how about [C]you?
[Em]Ten more reasons why I[D] need
somebody [Bm]new, just like [C]you
[Em]Far more shocking than a[D]n ything
I ever [Bm]knew, right on [C]cue

[Solo 1]
[Em][D][Bm][C]

[Verse 5]
[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]East side lovers living on the west end
[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

[Verse 6]
[Em]Kick start the golden generator
[D]Sweet talk but don't intimidate her
[Bm]Can't stop the gods from engineering
[C]Feel no need for any interfering
[Em]Your image in the dictionary
[D]This life is more than ordinary
[Bm]Can I get two, maybe even three of these?
[C]Coming from space
to teach you of the Pleiades
Can't stop the spirits when they need you
This life is more than just a read through
