[Verse]
Em  C           G         Em     C       G
   Shadows seem far away, to be seen so soon
Em  C              G            Em   C                      G
   We are all just cast always, stranded on this sand swept dune
Em  C             G       Em  C                  G
My lover wrote to me-eee, said everything is fine
Em  C                     G          Em    C              G
Something about it seemed foreign, she ain't no friend of mine

[Chorus]
Em            C                 G              C
Why don't you hide it where the children won't find it
        Em           C              G    G
And the priest won't think to look, too
Em              C              G         C
Standing on the rock while the old folks talk
                Em                C       G       G
And then you're tryin' to get the milkman screwed

[Verse]
Em        C     G        Em  C        G
In search of an original, an original mind
Em       C        G                Em   C        G
Is there any such thing as precious, or one of a kind?
Em  C          G    Em      C            G
Crosses on the wall, hadn't crossed your mind
Em          C          G      Em            C          G
Instead the passage of colors, leads to our passionate times

[Chorus]
Em            C                 G              C
Why don't you hide it where the children won't find it
        Em           C              G    G
And the priest won't think to look, too
Em              C              G         C
Standing on the rock while the old folks talk
                Em                C       G       G
And then you're tryin' to get the milkman screwed

[Verse]
Em   C    G    Em     C            G
Soft like silk, smooth like barley wine
Em   C       G                             Em             C           G
Everybody's either breaking up, or getting married in the nick of time
Em     C             G     Em               C          G
We got soaked in the rain, slept in someone else's bed
Em          C           G                Em   C                        G
We couldn't keep from being close, and I couldn't keep from hitting my head

[Chorus]
Em            C                 G              C
Why don't you hide it where the children won't find it
        Em           C              G    G
And the priest won't think to look, too
Em              C              G         C
Standing on the rock while the old folks talk
                Em                C       G       G
And then you're tryin' to get the milkman screwed

[Chorus]
Em            C                 G              C
Why don't you hide it where the children won't find it
        Em           C              G    G
And the priest won't think to look, too
Em              C              G         C
Standing on the rock while the old folks talk
                Em                C       G       G
And then you're tryin' to get the milkman screwed
