Green Mind
(J. Mascis)

C#m           F#            E 
I picture things a certain way
              G#              C#m 
And then go back to it another day
       F#                A 
In green minds, it's okay
C#m       F#                       E 
'Cos you know where you're gonna be
            G#           C#m 
Alls you have to do is come with me
      F#                    A 
It's cool, they're probably asleep
         C#m     F# 
On the outside
                 C#m         F# 
It's where they always hide
          C#m               F#             A 
Come to my side, and I'll introduce you to
             C#m     F# 
Some of their kind
              C#m       F# 
I know you always tried
             C#m 
Now it's your time
          F#                  A 
To take in their point of view
               B 
No it's nothing new
E                                 G#m 
I've been bouncing off the walls
                                 C#m 
I can't hang with them for long
          F#               A 
They're cool, but I need you
E                                      G#m 
On a certain level I think they're great
                            C#m 
But on another I can't relate
    F#          A 
To anything they do
          C#m    F# 
On the outside
                 C#m        F# 
Might be with them tonight
              C#m 
Unless you decide to call
 F#                  A   B 
Then I'll check out you
C#m        F#                E 
Hangin' heavy's such a routine
             G# 
I've just begun to forget
 C#m           F#                    A 
Why I seldom try to break out of their scene
C#m         F#           E 
Now I've gotta work on you
          G# 
So the frogs'll hang
          C#m            F# 
They'll always be hanging
             A                B 
Now we're here, what do we do?
E                                   G#m 
I've been sorting through the prose
                                             C#m 
Countin' "your"s, "I"s, "they'll"s and "those"
       F#               A 
Can you help move it along?
E                                  G#m 
I've been picking through my thoughts
                           C#m 
It's a shame my judgement rots
   F#                    A 
I sure feel where I belong
(break)
           C#m    F# 
On the outside
              C#m     F# 
Well, it'll be awhile
            C#m 
I've gotta unfry
         F#              A         B 
'fore I pick it up with you, help me
C#m    F#                E 
Do I need that stable care?
   G#                 C#m 
Don't I know that they'll be there?
      F#                          A 
Does that count now that you've appeared?
C#m       F#               E 
Or do I need that stable core?
     G#              C#m 
Or do I jump for something more?
     F#                  A   B 
Are you all that I fear?
E                                   G#m 
I've been picking through my thoughts
                             C#m 
It's a shame my judgement rots
             F#               A 
And I sure feel where I belong
E                              G#m 
It's a call that's tough to make
                       C#m 
It could be a big mistake
            F#             A 
Can't you help move it along?
E                              G#m 
If I keep stewin' bout how I feel
Eventually I'll split
                       C#m  F# 
Then I won't have to deal
                A 
Sounds like a plan
E                                G#m 
It's kind of lame to let it slide
                                 C#m 
Knowing either way I haven't tried
         F#                       A 
Can't figure out where it all stands
                 C#m   F# 
In the green mind
