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