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

When people see me they won’t think I’m lazy

Drinking comfort like I make it,

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