C   Am  C   Am  C   Am  C   Am   
woo hoo doo woo woo hoo ooo  

C           Am             F        C 
It's always summer in this Southern state 
          F          C    F           Am (2x) 
Where I'm behind the moon floating in space 
C              Am           F                C 
But I'm not in hiding, just trying not to be found 
          F       C      F          Am (2x) 
So when I hear my name I never turn around 

C   Am  C   Am  C   Am  C   Am   
woo hoo doo woo woo hoo ooo  

C           Am          F             C 
Here in the valley they live in their cars 
        F        C             F         Am (2x) 
As they dream of fields, under oceans of stars 
    C        Am      F         C 
And I'm disappearing into that grid 
            F              C     F         Am (2x) 
Where I'll live out in the open, perfectly hid 

C   Am  C   Am  C   Am  C   Am 
woo hoo doo woo woo hoo ooo  

C           Am        F             C 
It's always summer in this Southern state 
           F           C          F         Am (2x) 
And it's a comfortable life, in a beautiful place 
    C           Am       F           C 
But something's ratting, somewhere inside 
       F                C                F             Am (2x) 
And it sounds like it's broken, but in a place I can't find 

       C         Am          F (2x) 
And it only gets louder with time 

C   Am  C   Am  C   Am  C    Am 
woo hoo doo woo woo hoo ooo
