Verse 1:

D Dsus4add2/C /G (repeat on acoustic; no electric)

Lonely feelin' deep inside

Find a corner where I can hide

Silent footsteps crowdin' me

Sudden darkness but I can see

[D C]

No sugar tonight in my coffee

[G D]

No sugar tonight in my tea

No sugar to stand beside me

[G D]

No sugar to run with me

(four lines with nonsense syllables)

Verse 2:

In the silence of her mind

Quiet movements where I can find

Grabbin' for me with her eyes

Now I'm fallin' from her skies

"New Mother Nature"

Verse 1:

Jocko says yes and I believe him

When we talk about the things I say

She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him

When they're standing in each other's way

You're driven back in time to places you been to

You wonder what you're gonna find

You know you been wrong but it won't be long

Before you leave 'em all far behind

'Cause it's the new Mother Nature takin' over

It's the new splendid lady come to call

It's the new Mother Nature takin' over

She's gettin' us all

She's gettin' us all

Verse 2:

Jocko said no when I came back last time

It's lookin' like I lost a friend

No use callin' 'cause the sky is fallin'

It's gettin' pretty near the end

A smoke-filled room in a corner basement

The situation must be right

A bag of goodies and a bottle of wine

We're gonna get it on right tonight
