D[1] No need to know [Verse 2] [1:46] D[1] Em You can hold her eggs D[1] G But your basket has a hole D[1] Em You can lie between her legs And go lookin' for: D[1] G Tell her you're searching for her soul! [Verse 3] [2:04] D[1] Em You can wait for ages D[1] G And watch your compost turn to coal D[1] Em But time is contagious: D[1] G Everybody's getting old.
