I Went With Some Friends To See The Flaming Lips

C                Dm                 F        G
I went with some friends to see The Flaming Lips
           C               Dm     F        G
It was the greatest show I ever saw
          C            Dm         F         G
We'd been planning the trip for a couple of months
           Dm                      G
And I just couldn't wait to get it on

       C     Dm           F        G
It was April 17th, it was Thursday night
       C              Dm         F         G
It was raining just a little but we didn't mind
            Dm                       G
We had some drinks in the bar at the Haywood park
             Dm                          G
Sent walking Jason on a beer run, 'cause it was getting dark

        C                Dm                F          G
Then we checked into our rooms and started eating mushrooms
C           Dm           F       G
Jessica and Elle dropped by
       Dm                              G
We got directions to the club from the man at the door
       Dm                                       G
And we rode down through the streets, Charlotte people on tour


[instrumental refrain]

C       Dm       F       G     (x2)


[verse 2]

F                        Em                           Am              G              Dm   
Standing in line when we realized Mark had been taken too much, taken way too much MDMA...
      G

    Am                         Dm
And later that night while the band played
           G                      C         Em/B
I held the girl that I love in my arms
    Dm
And most of my friends
    G                         C
And we all took turns holding Mark


[coda]

Am          Dm             G                          C        Em/B
Sometimes I almost forget how great that night really was
     Dm                    G                          C      F      G     C
Then I talk to Mark and he can't remember anything at all
