Dm Am Em Dm

Say haven't you noticed? I ate the lotus

Am C G F 

Storefront window, I reflect, just last week I was merely heck

Am C G F 

Tip the scale, I was hell, Picked me up, then I fell,

Am C G F 

Who'sthis stranger? Crowbar spine, dot, dot, dot and I feel fine, 

Am C G F 

Let it rain, rain, rain, Bring my happy back again,

Dm Am Dm Am

So happy to show us, I ate the lotus,

Let it rain, rain, rain, Save me from myself again

Am C G F

Wash away my ugly sins, Opposing thumb, dorsal fin

Am C G F 

That monkey died for my grin, Bring my happy back again 

Am C G F 

Let it rain, rain, rain, Bring my happy back again

So happy to show us, I ate the lotus,

Dm Am Em Dm Em Dm 

Say haven't you noticed? I ate the lotus I ate the lotus
