Intro
A# Gm F Gm
[Verse]
A# Gm
Slows me down, makes me weak
F
Asleep on my feet sometimes overthinks things, always
Gm
Bleak and cold with aching joints and poems
A#
Keep out the salt with words
F
And empty thoughts of I won’t worry, I won’t worry –
[Chorus]
A#
When I’m rich,
Gm
I make do with bigger things
Dm
When people see me they won’t think I’m lazy
C
Or not made yet
A#
I’ll be safer when I’m famous,
Gm
Drinking comfort like I make it,
Dm
Who gave this all up to settle down
C
And make the best of all this bad.
A# Gm Dm C
Oh
[Verse]
A#
Crowds and seasons and pavements and trees
Dm
I remember my please but it doesn’t seem needed
C
I keep all the things which I’m meant to believe in
A#
But somehow I’m grieving, but I won’t worry
[Chorus]
A#
When I’m rich,
Gm

I’ll be safer when I’m famous,
Gm
Drinking comfort like I make it,

A# Gm Dm C
Oh
[Verse]
A#
It’s all covered up, it’s dry, it’s sheltered,
C
But I’m not in peace until it’s melted
Dm
I want to touch it and make sure it’s breathing,
C
I’ll try not to hurt it, I just want to hold it.
A# C Dm C
Oh – I see its screwing up
A# C Dm C
Oh – but I can’t make it stop.
