verse 1 
F         G 
Oh Randy, leave it up to me 
C                          F                               
I'll pour the water if you bring the tree 
F                  G 
Nothing looks that real to me 
C                       F 
I only see two or three colors 
 
verse 2 
F                G 
Whats it like to breath in? 
C                        F 
Find a friend and gather with him? 
Am                      C 
I'm a wolf in a city of women 
F 
You only know the light is on 
 
verse 3 
F                   G 
Will you plant that sycamore baby? 
C                           F   
I'll watch it grow from the second floor 
F                        G 
I haven't left the house much lately 
C                              F 
And you don't come around here anymore 
 
verse 4 
F                             C 
And all those lovers in their velvet gowns 
C                 F 
I wanna take that trip uptown 
Am                        C 
Will you tell them to let me out 
F 
When you can see the light is on? 
 
Instrumental: G C Dm F G C F 
 
Verse 5 
F 
Found a horse hair in my food 
C                 F 
There's a raccoon in my room 
F                  G 
There are bluejays all in bloom 
C                    F 
All along the cement floor 
 
Verse 6 
F                    G 
Randy, they say I've gone insane 
C                                   F 
So could you take me dancing in the pouring rain? 
Am                        C 
You don't know me but you know my name 
         F 
Will you say it till the light is gone?
