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

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

I’ll be safer when I’m famous,
Cm
Drinking comfort like I make it,

Who gave this all up to settle down

And make the best of all this bad.
D# Cm Gm F
Oh
[Verse]
D#
It’s all covered up, it’s dry, it’s sheltered,
F
But I’m not in peace until it’s melted
Gm
I want to touch it and make sure it’s breathing,
F
I’ll try not to hurt it, I just want to hold it.
D# F Gm F
Oh – I see its screwing up
D# F Gm F
Oh – but I can’t make it stop.
[Chorus]
