The same goes with where it says G. There you may switch between G and D(2).
Intro (0:00)
Em (switch between Em and Em/F#)---------, D(1), G--------- (switch between G and D(2))
Verse 1 (0:18)
You can[D(1)] hold her h[Em]and
And show h[D(1)]er how you c[G]ry
Explain to her[D(1)] your wea[Em]kness
So she understands:
And then roll[D(1)] over and [G]die!
You can[D(1)] brave d[Em]ecisions
Before you c[D(1)]rumble up[G] inside
Spend your [D(1)]time a[Em]sking
Everyone else's permission:
And then [D(1)]run away and[G] hide!
Chorus (0:54)
You can [D(1)]sit on chi[Em]mneys
And put some f[D(1)]ire up you[G]r ass!
No need[D(1)] to know
W[Em]hat you're doing or waiting for:
But if a[D(1)]nyone shoul[G]d ask?
Tell them I've been l[D(1)]icking co[Em]conut skins
And we've been[D(1)] hanging [G]out!
Tell them God just droppe[D(1)]d by to forgi[Em]ve our sins
A[D(1)]nd relieve us ou[G]r doubt

Lalalalalalalaaaaa
Verse 2 (1:46)
You can ho[D(1)]ld her eg[Em]gs
But your bas[D(1)]ket has a[G] hole
You can lie[D(1)] between her [Em]legs
And go lookin' for:
Tell her you're se[D(1)]arching for her [G]soul!
Verse 3 (2:04)
You can w[D(1)]ait for a[Em]ges
And watch your c[D(1)]ompost turn to[G] coal
But t[D(1)]ime is co[Em]ntagious:
Everybody's[D(1)] getting [G]old.
Chorus (2:23)
You can s[D(1)]it on c[Em]himneys
And put some[D(1)] fire up your a[G]ss!
No need[D(1)] to know
W[Em]hat you're doing or looking for:
But if any[D(1)]one should [G]ask?
Tell them I've been l[D(1)]icking coconu[Em]t skins
And we've be[D(1)]en hangin[G]g out!
Tell them God just dr[D(1)]opped by to forg[Em]ive our sins
