Intro
F# D#m Db D#m
[Verse]
F# D#m
Slows me down, makes me weak
Db
Asleep on my feet sometimes overthinks things, always
D#m
Bleak and cold with aching joints and poems
F#
Keep out the salt with words
Db
And empty thoughts of I won’t worry, I won’t worry –
[Chorus]
F#
When I’m rich,
D#m
I make do with bigger things
A#m
When people see me they won’t think I’m lazy
Ab
Or not made yet
F#
I’ll be safer when I’m famous,
D#m
Drinking comfort like I make it,
A#m
Who gave this all up to settle down
Ab
And make the best of all this bad.
F# D#m A#m Ab
Oh
[Verse]
F#
Crowds and seasons and pavements and trees
A#m
I remember my please but it doesn’t seem needed
Ab
I keep all the things which I’m meant to believe in
F#
But somehow I’m grieving, but I won’t worry
[Chorus]
F#
When I’m rich,
D#m
I make do with bigger things
A#m
When people see me they won’t think I’m lazy
Ab
Or not made yet
F#
I’ll be safer when I’m famous,
D#m
Drinking comfort like I make it,
A#m
Who gave this all up to settle down
Ab
And make the best of all this bad.
F# D#m A#m Ab
Oh
[Verse]
F#
It’s all covered up, it’s dry, it’s sheltered,
Ab
But I’m not in peace until it’s melted
A#m
I want to touch it and make sure it’s breathing,
Ab
I’ll try not to hurt it, I just want to hold it.
F# Ab A#m Ab
Oh – I see its screwing up
F# Ab A#m Ab
Oh – but I can’t make it stop.
[Chorus]
F#
When I’m rich,
D#m
I make do with bigger things
A#m
When people see me they won’t think I’m lazy
Ab
Or not made yet
F#
I’ll be safer when I’m famous,
D#m
Drinking comfort like I make it,
A#m
Who gave this all up to settle down
Ab
And make the best of all this bad.
F# Ab A#m Ab
Oh – I see its screwing up
F# Ab A#m Ab
Oh – but I can’t make it stop, make it stop, oh...
