Verse:

       F#F#
I'm sick of words
        F#F#
What do they say?
     BB
So much effort, making meaning
    C#C#        F#F#
Forcing life into frames
      F#F#
I'm sick of words
        F#F#
In a fundamental way
 BB
No more rhetorical, unwinnable
C#C#         F#F#
Depressing debate

God or no god, Love or no love
BB        C#C#
Sex or no sex, Drugs or no drugs
BB
Are you closer?
C#C#            C#C# C# C#C#
What's it all been worth?

Verse:

           F#F#
I'm blessed with a curse
          F#F#
Or that's what I say
BB
No one asked, but I've been offering
C#C#
For years anyway

Chorus:
C#C#      BB
Navel-gazing like it matters
C#C#        BB
It's just a body; it's not an answer
C#C#
Are you listening?
BB
What it's all been worth?
I'm sick of words

Stop subjecting all these people

To what you think you deserve
