Vicks, Trips, And Wax Lips

Am     E    G

Turn   it   down.

           Am      E             G

There's no time to clown around.

Em                     G

Don't spill any beer,

        Em                             G             (G string bass note, and  strummed chord x3)

And pass another can over here.

      

Am        E            G

Make   Up  Your mind.  

Am.          E            G

Do.. you want to find God?

Em                 G

I've seen his face

       Em                                    G.                        (G string bass note, and  strummed chord x3)

He's breathing hard, like a runner in a race.

 

Am        E            G

Turn     off    the light

Am      E                G

Its       time to say goodnight.

    Em                     G

The roads are all clear,

             Em                       G    (G string bass note, and  strummed chord x3)

And we haven't got a care.

 

C.            G

Get.....  Ready...

        C                   G

And pack... your bags...

             C                  G

You're in.... for the best trip...

C              G    (G string bass note, and  strummed chord x3)

Of...your life.

 

Am      E              G

I......   can't go on this way

Am            E          G

Each and every ******* day

Em                             G

I think I need some-one

            Em                              G   (G string bass note, and  strummed chord x3)

To help show.. me... the way

Notes

I wrote this when I was sixteen,  so the vocal may seem odd for me. Since someone reached out and showed me the way already. It is one of the first songs I ever wrote, when I first learned these rudimentary chords. The new layout makes it ten times harder to post songs. Putting in periods, and capitalizing...Since when do poems require periods, and capitals at the start of a line?

Peace and Love,

Will
