Verse 1:
D                                        E
Wearing a raincoat is flying around in a plane
          B
Made of a raincoat
             G
But when you think of that
    F#min
You hurt your mind
           G
And you'll need a friend
   F#min         A
To talk you down

Verse 2:
Needing a friend to talk you down 
Is food that comes from a pipe
But when you hate the food 
That comes from a pipe
You will turn to drugs 
to help you sleep

Chorus 1:
G                   D
Turning to drugs to help you sleep
G                 D 
Will only lead to sleep
    E          Bmin
And sleeping is a gateway drug
   E              E           G          A7
To being awake, being awake, being awake again


Verse 3:
Being awake is swimming around
In a lake of the undead
And the undead are like a bunch of friends
that demand constant attention

Chorus 2:
Demanding constant attention
will only lead to attention
and once they have your attention
They will use it to ask for attention
and once they have your attention
They will use it to ask for attention

Verse 4:
Wearing a raincoat is flying around
In a yellow rubber airplaine made out
of a raincoat. yes,
But when you think of that
you hurt your mind and need
your mind for later on

Verse 5:
Needing a mind for later on is
a friend that comes at a price
But when you hate the friend that 
comes at a price you will play
the drums to help you sleep
