Oh, how I feel for the sky

It's in the sentence that follows

"We stayed up all night"
FF
Oh, shouldn't it concern me
FF C majorC
That we shrink beauty to fit in our minds?
G+G
Don't have to listen to the whole song
A minorAm G+G FF
To know what's in the third line
Chorus:
G+G
Tell me should I feel right, tell me should I feel fine
FF C majorC
About tossing the meaning for the sake of the rhyme

But aren't we good at turning beauty into cliches?

FF
Oh, how I feel for the lonely girl
FF C majorC
Quickly made into a woman by the world
G+G
They combed sense through her hair
A minorAm G+G FF
Straightening out her curls
FF
While you're waiting for someone to see you
FF C majorC
You make fast friends with abuse
G+G A minorAm G+G FF
And you'll do just about anything it tells you to
Chorus:
G+G G+G
But I'll never feel right, I'll never feel fine

But aren't we good at turning beauty into cliches?

G+G
It's never, ever so alphabetical
FF C majorC
You go out of order and they call you heretical

And you just said what nobody had time to hear

Pretending the truth isn't explicit

Won't censor the people affected by it

It's like the first time you ever heard real music in your ears

It'll never be enough, it'll never measure up

Turning the depth of the ocean to the size of a cup

It'll never make sense, if you make sense of it

All the things that make you cry out of happiness
FF A minorAm G+G FF
But some things are just better left unexplained
G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
But aren't we good at turning beauty into cliches?
