D Bm A Bm
[Verse]
D Bm
Slows me down, makes me weak
A
Asleep on my feet sometimes overthinks things, always
Bm
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,
Bm
I make do with bigger things
F#m
When people see me they won’t think I’m lazy
Fb
Or not made yet
D
I’ll be safer when I’m famous,
Bm
Drinking comfort like I make it,
F#m
Who gave this all up to settle down
Fb
And make the best of all this bad.
D Bm F#m Fb
Oh
[Verse]
D
Crowds and seasons and pavements and trees
F#m
I remember my please but it doesn’t seem needed
Fb
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,
Bm

[Verse]
D
It’s all covered up, it’s dry, it’s sheltered,
Fb
But I’m not in peace until it’s melted

I want to touch it and make sure it’s breathing,
Fb
I’ll try not to hurt it, I just want to hold it.
