Intro
C Em F C (x3)
Am G
[Verse 1]
C Em F
We were born night owls
C F
The warm air makes our eyes glow
C Am
Summer makes our heads spin
C Em
And the smell of hot pavement
F
Making rain rise like spirits
C Am
Holy water still freezes come winter
Am F
We drink from the sprinklers
G Am
The neighborhood left on
F C
And use them as metronomes
G Am
For our walk home
G C
For our walk home
[Chorus]
C Am
Just do what you can to do what you love
C Am C
And be mindful when someone out there gives a shit
C Am
I don't know where I'm going
D Em F
But it's where I want to be
F C
It's where I want to be
[Instrumental]
C Em F (x2)
[Verse 2]
C Em F
Passing by this school yard
C F
There's a cavity you can't see
C Am
Down at least two feet deep
C Em F
If it was our past inside of that box
C Am
I wouldn't just bury it beneath
Am F
I'd keep it locked
G Am F C
My Nativity scene would be the people sharing this floor
G Am F
Instead of a cave let's head through the downstairs door
C G Am F
Half-renovated basements make great men
G C
They make great men
[Chorus]
C Am
Just do what you can to do what you love
C Am C
And be mindful when someone out there gives a shit
C Am
I don't know where I'm going
D Em F
But it's where I want to be
F C Em F
It's where I want to be
[Bridge]
Am G C
This place holds my attention like a presidential speech
D
But it makes my stomach turn like the college campus
F Em F C
The first line was written on
[Chorus]
C Am
Just do what you can to do what you love
C Am C
And be mindful when someone out there gives a shit
C Am
I don't know where I'm going
D Em F
But it's where I want to be
F C Em F
It's where I want to be
