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