Key of F

[Intro]
F Dm F Dm

[Verse]
F
Tickle me pink
Dm
I'm rosy as a flushed red apple skin
F                             Dm
Except I've never been as sweet
F
I've rolled around the orchard
Dm
And found myself too awkward
F                               Dm
And tickle me green I'm too naive

[Chorus]
F
Pray for the people inside your head
A
For they won't be there when you're dead
Dm
Muffled out and pushed back down
Bb
Pushed back through the leafy ground

[Bridge]
F   Dm

[Verse]
F
Time is too early
Dm
My hair isn't curly
F                               Dm
I wish I was home and tucked away
F
When nothing goes right
Dm
And the future's dark as night
F                                Dm
What you need is a sunny sunny day

[Chorus]
F
Pray for the people inside your head
A
For they won't be there when you're dead
Dm
Muffled out and pushed back down
Bb
Pushed back through the leafy ground

[Bridge]
F   Dm

[Verse]
F                            Dm
Don't know where I can find myself a brand new pair of ears
F                                Dm
Don't know where I can buy a heart
F
The one I've got is shoddy
Dm
I need a brand new body
F                                   Dm
And then I can have a brand new start

[Chorus]
F
Pray for the people inside your head
A
For they won't be there when you're dead
Dm
Muffled out and pushed back down
Bb
Pushed back through the leafy ground

[Bridge]
F   Dm

[Verse]
F
Monsters in the valley
Dm
And shootings in the alley
F                                Dm
And people fall flat at every turn
F
There is no straight and narrow
Dm
Offload your wheelbarrow
F                                       Dm
And pick up your sticks and twigs to burn

[Chorus]
F
Pray for the people inside your head
A
For they won't be there when you're dead
Dm
Muffled out and pushed back down
Bb
Pushed back through the leafy ground
F
Pray for the People inside your head
A                                   Dm Bb
For they won't be there when you're dead
            F A
When you're dead
            Dm Bb
When you're deeeaaad

When you're
F
Pray for the People inside your head
A                                   Dm Bb
For they won't be there when you're dead
            F
When you're dead
