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