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

I’ll be safer when I’m famous,
A#m
Drinking comfort like I make it,
Fm
Who gave this all up to settle down

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