R.E.M.

Cant get there from here

When the world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
E B G# (open B and E strings)
Kick the clay that holds those teeth in
G6 F# (open B and E strings)
Throw your troubles out the door
If you're needing inspiration
Philomath is where I go
Lawyer Jeff he knows the lowdown
He's mighty glad to visit home
I've been there I know the way
Can't get there from here
.......F#
When your hands are feeling empty
Stick heads jumpin off the ground, 'round
Tris is sure to shirr the deers out
Run away sing my song
Hands down Calechee bound
Landlocked kiss the ground
Dirt of seven continents going round and round
Go on ahead Mr. Citywide hypnotized, suit and tied
Gentlemen, testify
.....F#
If your world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
Philomath they know the lowdown
Throw your troubles out the door
