Brian Wilson (CapO ON 3RD FrEt)
G D Am7 GDrove downtown in the rain, 9:30 on a Tuesday night
D Bm7 Am7Just to check out the late night record shop
G D Am7Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, call it insane
G D Bm7 Am7But when I'm surrounded I just can't stah-op

Dr. Landy tell me you're not just a pedagogue, 'cause right now I'm
 
CBoRUS:
 
G D Am7Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did
G D Em Em/C Em/C# Em/C
 
Well I'm, lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did

D F Em Am7Playing my guitar and building castles in the sun, whoa-whoa-oh-oh
D GAnd singing fun, fun, fun
 
CBoRUS
 
Am E7 Am E7 Am I had a dream that I was three hundred pounds
E7 Am E7 AmAnd though I was very heavy I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
 
(Pick up the rythym at this point)
E7 Am E7I floated 'til I couldn't see the ground
Am E7Somebody help me (I couldn't see the ground)
Am E7Somebody help me (I couldn't see the ground)
Am E7Somebody help meeeeee, because I'm
 
CBoRUS
 
(With lots of angst, repeat intro)
G D Am7 GDrove downtown in the ray-ee-ain, 9:30 on a Tuesday night
D Bm7 Am7 GJust to check out the late night record shop (late night record shop)
D Am7Call it impulsive, call it compulsive, or call it insane (whoa-oh)
G D Bm7 Cmaj7'Cause when I'm surrounded I just can't stah-ah-ah-p
 
Em Em/C Em/C# Em/C
