1. Dear darlin', your mom, my friend left a message
           Cmi               As                     Cmi       G  
   On my machine she was frantic saying you were talking crazy
        Cmi           As                Cmi
   That you wanted to do away with yourself
                       As                 Cmi 
   I guess she thought I'd be a perfect resort
                          As              Cmi               G 
   Because we've had this inexplicable connection since our youth
       Cmi               As            Cmi
   And yes they're in shock they are panicked
                  As                    Cmi
   You and your chronic them and their drama
                As                   Cmi                 G
   You this embarrassment us in the middle of this delusion
   
      Emi           C        Emi           C     
R: If we were our bodies, if we were our futures
      Emi         C                A 
   If we were our defenses I'd be joining you
      Emi           C         Emi           C
   If we were our culture, if we were our leaders
      Emi         C              A
   If we were our denials I'd be joining you

2. I remember vividly a day years ago we were camping
   You knew more than you thought you should know
   You said, "I don't want ever to be brainwashed"
   And you were mind boggling you were intense
   You were uncomfortable in your own skin
   You were thirsty but mostly you were beautiful
   
R: If we were our name tags, if we were our rejections
   If we were our outcomes I'd be joining you
   If we were our indignities, if we were our successes
   If we were our emotions I'd be joining you

3. You and I we're like four year olds
   We want to know why and how come about everything
   We want to reveal ourselves at will and speak out minds
   And never talk small and be intuitive
   And question mightily and find god my tortured beacon
   We need to find like-minded companions

R: If we were their condemnations, if we were their projections
   If we were our paranoias I'd be joining you
   If we were our incomes, if we were our obsessions
   If we were our afflictions I'd be joining you

   We need reflection, we need a really good memory
