Capo 7
Intro/Verse
E MajorE
A minorAm G+G FF C majorC E MajorE A minorAm DmDm
A minorAm G+G FF
I want to live life duty free
C majorC E MajorE A minorAm DmDm
Let my instincts take the lead
A minorAm G+G FF
I want to take what I can get
C majorC E MajorE A minorAm DmDm
Don't want to choose don't want to beg
A minorAm G+G FF
I want down from this family tree
E MajorE
I don't need no upward mobility
(Repeat verse)
A minorAm G+G FF
I want to unlearn what I've learned
C majorC E MajorE A minorAm DmDm
Want to unearn what I've earned
A minorAm G+G FF
Want to burn my bridges down
C majorC E MajorE A minorAm DmDm
Find a place I can't be found
A minorAm G+G FF
This is my manifesto destiny
E MajorE DmDm G+G
Tear down this awkward mobility
A minorAm G+G FF
'Cause I'm tired of standing upright
E MajorE DmDm G+G
The taller we become the more dollars we can grab from that highest branch
A minorAm G+G FF
And then step on your back given the chance
G+G
But not me I'm a bipedal backpedaler just as sure-footed as I can
(Repeat verse)
A minorAm G+G FF
I'm no high society man
C majorC E MajorE A minorAm DmDm
No suit and tie, no Dapper Dan
A minorAm G+G FF
I'm no happy family man
C majorC E MajorE A minorAm DmDm
I'm no husband, ain't no dad
A minorAm G+G FF
I'm a goddamn caveman
E MajorE
This upward mobility is more than I can understand
C majorC E MajorE A minorAm DmDm
I won't stand, no, I won't stand for it
C majorC E MajorE A minorAm DmDm
I won't stand, no, I won't stand for it
C majorC E MajorE A minorAm DmDm
I won't stand, no, I won't stand for it
A minorAm G+G FF
I'd rather be all hands and knees
A minorAm G+G FF
Yeah, I'd rather be swinging in the trees
With the monkeys and the junkies and bums and sloths and jailbird canaries
G+G
Yeah that's me I'm a bipedal backpedaler from sea to shining sea
(Repeat verse)
