Intro: F C F G C Verse : F I found an old notebook filled up with pictures C Found my friends in hospital beds with facial stitches F C We sat around the table, drinking hoping no one would ever die F A scribble of an elephant with C
"Why I can't draw and why everyone is evil" F C Written above it in faded black ink F Heated debate about the legal system C Let's have a rally, let's start a revolution F C Set fires under our feet and do our best not to stamp it out F And all I can see through the rooftops and the chimneys C Is the top of a billboard that reads "love" F C And I think it's an advert for nasal spray technology but in my current state it doesn't matter much Bridge: F G F G And these things are consuming but there's more to me than lack of sleep and anxiety F G F G And darling you've befriended dropouts and drifters, so why would you expect anything different? C Em7 Am7 C Em7 Am7 G But this is a summer song, and I want you all to sing along Chorus: F It goes da dadadada da da da dadadada C Da dadadada da da da dadadada F G C Da dadadada da da da da-a-a-aa Verse 2: F And a woman with a face that slid right down to the top of her dress C Told me I'd succeed because I'd been touched by a goddess F C If technology's taught me anything it's that writing is much easier than speaking F That walking's best done in silence C And rooftops are best left leaking F And as we boarded up the walls where our fists had fell the night before C I said, "I'm sorry that I shout I'm not sorry that I don't put out F C I'm sorry I can't understand things unless I find music in them." F C And you know that you feel like I left you, but you left me without much of a choice F C I haven't learnt to draw but at least I never lost, never lost my voice Bridge: F G F G And these things are consuming but there's more to me than lack of sleep and anxiety F G F G And darling you've befriended dropouts and drifters, so why would you expect anything different? C Em7 Am7 C Em7 Am7 G But this is a summer song, and I want you all to sing along Chorus: F It goes da dadadada da da da dadadada C Da dadadada da da da dadadada F G C Da dadadada da da da da-a-a-aa F Da dadadada da da da dadadada C Da dadadada da da da dadadada F G C Da dadadada da da da da-a-a-aa NOTE: On the C major chord between beats 12 and 15 you can add colour to the sound by using your pinky on the higher E string (x32013). On F chords play higher E string open.
