Song: Lotus. (By R.E.M)
Album: 'Up'.
| Am | C | G | F | | Am | C | G | F |
Hey, hey, Hey, hey
| Am | C | G | F | | Am | C | G | F |
I was hell, sarcastic silver swell, that day it rained
Tough spun, hard won, No, ocean flower aquarium 
Badlands, give a hand, honey dipt, film flam 
Hey hey, hey hey, that cat can walk like a big bad man, 
So happy to show us, I ate the lotus, 
Say haven't you noticed? I ate the lotus 
Storefront window, I reflect, just last week I was merely heck 
Tip the scale, I was hell, Picked me up, then I fell, 
Who's this stranger? Crowbar spine, dot, dot, dot and I feel fine, 
Let it rain, rain, rain, Bring my happy back again, 
So happy to show us, I ate the lotus, 
Sayhaven't you noticed? I ate the lotus I ate the lotus 
| Am | C | G | F | | Am | C | G | F |
Let it rain, rain, rain, Save me from myself again 
Wash away my ugly sins, Opposing thumb, dorsal fin 
That monkey died for my grin, Bring my happy back again 
Let it rain, rain, rain, Bring my happy back again 
So happy to show us, I ate the lotus, 
Sayhaven't you noticed? I ate the lotus I ate the lotus 
I ate the lotus, I ate the lotus, I ate the lotus
