Intro
G Em D Em
[Verse]
G Em
Slows me down, makes me weak
D
Asleep on my feet sometimes overthinks things, always
Em
Bleak and cold with aching joints and poems
G
Keep out the salt with words
D
And empty thoughts of I won’t worry, I won’t worry –
[Chorus]
G
When I’m rich,
Em
I make do with bigger things
Bm
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,
Em
Drinking comfort like I make it,
Bm
Who gave this all up to settle down
A
And make the best of all this bad.
G Em Bm A
Oh
[Verse]
G
Crowds and seasons and pavements and trees
Bm
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,
Em
I make do with bigger things

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

Or not made yet
G
I’ll be safer when I’m famous,
Em
Drinking comfort like I make it,
Bm
Who gave this all up to settle down
A
And make the best of all this bad.
G Em Bm A
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
Bm
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 Bm A
Oh – I see its screwing up
G A Bm A
Oh – but I can’t make it stop.
[Chorus]
