Squirrels

[G]          [G/f#]
I tossed a diamond into the stream,
[Em]it was crazy, I couldn't help it was amazing.
[C]It went forever cross the water but wouldn't stop and didn't skip
[D]and never looked more beautiful than just before it hit.
[G]             [G/f#]              [Em]
So I swam out to look for it, underwater, just fish
[C]and goose's feet slappin' me don't know what's happening,
[D]I'm knockin' on each fish's den but not a single fish is in.
[C]But you're so young and so in l[G]ove,
[C]but that ain't all she's[D] been dreaming of.
She's dreaming [Am]of yo[C]u,
[G]alone.

[G]             [G/f#]
I called you up late at night,
[Em]I just can't speak when I'm high.
[C]I must've been lonely looking for a friend
[D]then I had a great idea but I couldn't find a pen.
[G]            [G/f#]
So I went for a drive at night,
[Em]saw a crazy sight,
[C]saw a squirrel in the yard doing backflips for change
[D]for a lady who vacuums her heartaches away.
[C]She's saying where is my son,
[G]where has he gone?
[D]Oh, nothing changed when the squirrel left
[Am]but something sure changed when the[C] girl left.
             [G]      [G/f#]   [Em]
And now she's gone, gone,
and now she's go[C]ne, w[D]hoa.

[G]                       [G/f#]
I just keep writing the same song,
[Em]the guy's right and the dame's wrong

and the game's on.
[C]so turn down that stereo and pass me the chips,
[D]you won't even notice your brain start t[C]o slip.
                [G]         [G/f#]     [Em]
And now they're gone, gone,
and now [C]they're gone, who[D]a, whoa.       [G]
