Intro: Bm7 D/A A A x3 Bm7 D/A A A (hold A for those build ups throughout)] Verse 1: Bm7 D/A A I can't hide these feelings from you A Bm7 D/A A A You're probably gonna be the first person I play this song to Bm7 D/A A And everything is still a little sketchy A Bm7 D/A A And I still think everyone is out to get me Bm7 D/A A Those people with money own the skies A Bm7 D/A A A The seas that we swim in and the plants we eat to stay alive Bm7 D/A A A But we're closer to the earth now then we ever were before Bm7 D/A A A And I'd still share a towel with anyone and eat food off the floor
Verse 2: Bm7 D/A A We table dived on Swanson Street when all we wanted was a bite to eat Bm7 D/A A But we could never fill that hunger Bm7 D/A A And these poor men in the alleyway still shooting for the stars Bm7 D/A A A And the pavement cracks beneath their feet and exposes the dark Bm7 D/A A And I'll try to rarely raise my voice at you Bm7 D/A A And if I do there's just a thorn in my paw but that's still no excuse Bm7 D/A A And the white male propaganda's on the outskirts of the truth Bm7 D/A A A They'll keep selling off our future 'cause they can't make bank off you Verse 3: Bm7 D/A A But getting high with my friend's dad Bm7 D/A A Out the back makes it feel like maybe it's not yet that bad Bm7 D/A A And he'll say it's just the nature of things like tea leaves in a kitchen sink Bm7 D/A A A But I never felt as strong as this, bearing the burden of revolution Bm7 D/A We dumpster dived out the back of Coles A A When it was raining, but not that cold Bm7 D/A A 'Cause we will never live being anything but cheap Bm7 D/A A A And this person that you see, singing and swaying, this isn't me Bm7 D/A A Bm7 D/A A Just the person that I wanted to be when I was thirteen A Bm7 D/A A But with better morals than she Verse 4: Bm7 D/A A And I've always been jealous of my neighbors Bm7 D/A A Them and their three-ply toilet paper Bm7 D/A A And I'm still reminded of when my mother read my diary Bm7 D/A A A And it made me resent her but she just wanted to know me Bm7 D/A A You would call yourself a coward Bm7 D/A A It never made you any braver Bm7 D/A A But you are the calm before the storm Bm7 D/A A A Bm7 And you are the tiny bumps on my arm and you are the war-m D/A A A Bm7 D/A A You lit the biggest fire I ever saw Verse: Bm7 D/A And I felt it like nobody else A A I'm still screaming here all by myself Bm7 D/A A But I will hold you to nothing Bm7 D/A A If I could tell you about the time I spent looking longingly over the neighbors' fence Bm7 D/A A And how nothing's really changed since then A Bm7 D/A A But it's all in your head A Bm7 D/A A You'll tell me once again A Bm7 D/A A You'll need to tell me once again A Bm7 D/A A It's been a long time coming, friend
