Intro: E minor 7Em7  C majorC    B minorBm  E minorEm

Verse
    A minorAm
There?s 7 billion 46 million people on the planet

And most of us have the audacity to think we matter
C majorC D MajorD   E minor 7Em7                      C majorC
Hey, you hear the one about the comedian who croaked?

Someone stabbed him in the heart, just a little poke
        B minorBm                           E minorEm
But he keeled over ?cause he went into battle wearing chain mail made of jokes
A minorAm
Hey, you hear the one about the screenwriter who passed away?
                                 C majorC
He was giving elevator pitches and the elevator got stuck halfway
   D MajorD       E minor 7Em7                          C majorC
He ended up eating smushed sandwiches they pushed through a crack in the door

And repeating the same crappy screenplay idea about talking dogs 'til his last day
   B minorBm                        E minorEm
Hey, you hear the one about the fisherman who passed?
        A minorAm
He didn?t jump off that ledge

He just stepped out into the air and pulled the ground up towards him really fast
                          C majorC   D MajorD
Like he was pitching a line and went fishing for concrete
     E minor 7Em7               C majorC
The earth is a drum and he?s hitting it on beat

The reason there?s smog in Los Angeles is ?cause if we could see the stars
              B minorBm
If we could see the context of the universe in which we exist
         E minorEm       A minorAm
And we could see how small each one of us is

Against the vastness of what we don?t know
                            C majorC
No one would ever audition for a McDonalds commercial again
D MajorD       E minor 7Em7
And then where would we be?
     C majorC
No frozen dinners and no TV

And is that a world we want to text in?

Either someone just microwaved popcorn
       B minorBm                              E minorEm        A minorAm
Or I hear the sound of a thousand people pulling their heads out of their asses in rapid succession

The people are hunched over in Boston

They?re starting app stores and screen printing companies in San Francisco
      C majorC       D MajorD         E minor 7Em7
They?re grinning in Los Angeles like they?ve got fishhooks in the corners of their mouth
  C majorC
But don?t paint me like the good guy ?cause every time I write
                              B minorBm
I get to choose the angle that you view me and select the nicest light
                 E minorEm            A minorAm
You wouldn?t respect me if you heard the typewriter chatter tap tap

Tapping through my mind at night

The same stupid tape loop of old sitcom dialogue
                 C majorC      D MajorD     E minor 7Em7
And tattered memories of a girl I got to grind on in high school
             C majorC
Filed carefully on rice paper

My heart is a colored pencil

But my brain is an eraser
                          B minorBm
I don?t want a real girl, I want to trace her from a catalogue
       E minorEm          A minorAm
Truth be told I?m unlikely to hold you down

Cause my soul is a crowded subway train

And people keep deciding to get on the next one that rolls through town
       C majorC     D MajorD      E minor 7Em7
I?m joining a false movement in San Francisco
               C majorC
I?m frowning and hunched over in Boston

I?m smiling in Los Angeles like I?ve got fishhooks in the corners of my mouth
          B minorBm
And I?m celebrating on weekends
            E minorEm   A minorAm
Because there are 7 billion 47 million people on the planet

And I have the audacity to think I matter
                        C majorC
I know it?s a lie but I prefer it to the alternative
         D MajorD    E minor 7Em7
Because I?ve got a tourniquet tied at my elbow
           C majorC
I?ve got a blunt wrap filled with compliments and I?m burnin it
                                       B minorBm
You say to go to sleep but I been bouncing off my bedroom walls since I was hecka small
               E minorEm                 A minorAm
We?re every age at once and tucked inside ourselves like Russian nesting dolls

My mother is an 8 year old girl

My grandson is a 74 year old retiree whose kidneys just failed
      C majorC     D MajorD      E minor 7Em7
And that?s the glue between me and you

That?s the screws and nails
      C majorC
We live in a house made of each other

And if that sounds strange that?s because it is
    B minorBm                       E minorEm          A minorAm
Someone please freeze time so I can run around turning everyone?s pockets inside out

And remember...

You didn?t see shit
