  			verse 1 
       G                              C 
You're transcendent, you taught me so many things 
                   G                           C 
You taught me that help is all we to this dumb planet bring 
                    G                                                  C 
But one time sticks out for me, you were five, we were working with Bob in Maui 
             G                                C 
Driving a rental Sebring, the top down, every morning we'd drive on down to 


verse 2 
Em                                 C 
Baby Beach and the Pacific Ocean's not the sea, we'll surf the waves 
          Em                                        C 
And we'll walk the sand to bring your leg back that you'd broken 
                               G                               C 
And you needed to learn how to walk again and I could help you with all this 
                   G                                   C 
To help you is all there is, you showed me that that's all there is 
                    G          C 
That helping is transcendence 


verse 3 
    G                        C 
And after we'd go and eat at Anthony's 
                         G                            C 
Or we'd drive around and maybe stop and eat Fukushima Hot Dogs 
                            G                                          C 
Sittin' on the hood or we'd drive to the top of the volcano called Haleakala 
                       G                               C 
At night we'd stare up at the moon and we did all this listening to 
            G 
Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga by Spoon 


verse 4 
       G                                C 
Months later we were back in Toronto, a Tuesday night, an all ages show 
    G                                      C 
You were so young, we sat in the back row, Deerhunter opened the show 
    G                            C 
The headliner was introduced, we did our best, we'd have to go soon 
       G 
We got a T-shirt and we caught five tunes 
     C                                           G 
Just enough to say the first show for us two was Spoon
