[Intro]
D       F#m    Bm
D     G   D   A       D
 
D                           F#m
It's almost as if it was choreographed
   Bm                   G
The towel, the sushi, the way that you laughed
A                                   D
The things you said to woo me into bed
D                             F#m
The market's my office and yours is the street
       Bm                       G
And I'm wiping the juice stains off of my feet
          A                                    D
And your words just don't seem too concrete to me
D                               F#m
We stayed up all night making Jenga Inuksuks
Bm                G
Kissing slow and leafing through cookbooks
A                                               D
Opening the doors to see how the night looked
D                                F#m
On the festival grounds and at my place and yours
        Bm         A        G
Now I'm catching buses, sleeping on floors
A                       F#m                            D
And coming to cherish household chores when I'm home again
F#m                         G
And you turned out to be a letdown
 
D      Bm      A     G
Big volcano, small town
D      Bm     D    A    G   Gm
Big volcano, small town
 
D                               F#m
Well now I'm on the bus and it keeps getting faster
Bm                      G
And you think you're such a rasta
             A                  F#m                    D
But you don't know Mount Zion from Mount Shasta
D                             F#m
Oh please God, let me wake up in San Fran
Bm              A           G
Let us not derail, let us stick with the plan
             A                  Bm   D
I'm going to California just 'cause I can
F#m                         G
And you turned out to be a letdown
 
D      Bm    A    G
Big volcano, small town
D    Bm       A    G
Big volcano, small town
 
D                         F#m
Well up in Mill Valley over Redwood brush
   Bm              G
I see I don't matter much
A                                                       D
The wind is my weakness and you are my crutch
D                               F#m
Let these twisting trees be our knuckling fingers
    Bm                      G
Let these little birds be our favorite singers
    A                                                   D
Let these sparks of rage be our our firebringers
D                              F#m
Some find love in Berkeley, I find it in lies
     Bm                G
I'm disappointed but I'm not surprised
         A                                                      D
I'll be gone with the wind, you were Lord of the Flies
D                         F#m
Today Ocean Beach and tomorrow Vancouver
     Bm            A           G
My bank card's in Portland, my heart's in the sewer
     A                                                  D
But one thing's for sure I have never been truer
F#m                           G
And you turned out to be a letdown
 
D     Bm      A     G
Big volcano, small town
D      Bm     D   A  G
Big volcano, small town
D     Bm      A     G
Big volcano, small town
D      Bm     D   A  G
Big volcano, small town
              It's almost as if it was choreographed
The towel, the sushi, the way that you laughed
The things you said to woo me into bed
The market's my office and yours is the street
And I'm wiping the juice stains off of my feet
And your words just don't seem too concrete to me
We stayed up all night making Jenga Inuksuks
Kissing slow and leafing through cookbooks
Opening the doors to see how the night looked
On the festival grounds and at my place and yours
Now I'm catching buses, sleeping on floors
And coming to cherish household chores when I'm home again
And you turned out to be a letdown

Big volcano, small town
Big volcano, small town

Well now I'm on the bus and it keeps getting faster
And you think you're such a rasta
But you don't know Mount Zion from Mount Shasta
Oh please God, let me wake up in San Fran
Let us not derail, let us stick with the plan
I'm going to California just 'cause I can
And you turned out to be a letdown

Big volcano, small town
Big volcano, small town
 
Well up in Mill Valley over Redwood brush
I see I don't matter much
The wind is my weakness and you are my crutch
Let these twisting trees be our knuckling fingers
Let these little birds be our favorite singers
Let these sparks of rage be our our firebringers
Some find love in Berkeley, I find it in lies

And you turned out to be a letdown

Big volcano, small town
Big volcano, small town
Big volcano, small town
Big volcano, small town
