AmI'm a breather, mail receiver
And I don't know where I stEmand
Not since someone informDmed me
That my house was built on sEmand
EmAnd it's not the earth beneath me
It's just the coDncept of the lanEmd
AmAnd I'm standing on the corner
When the buildings they all fEmell
If you blink once you're a gDmoner
Everything just goes pell-mEmell
It's a real hard sDell
My conceptual heEmll
Not even good for kiBmndling, no
When the buildings they all Emfell
I'm a bDreatGher, mail rDeceivGer
EmBottom feCeder just getting Emby
And you Cknow it's all just par for the cGourse
But you Cblame it on some non-existent fGorce
Oh yEmeah, of coCurse
You know you canG't ride the concept of the hoCrse
But still I try
AmIn a cartoon desert landscape
EmWith a pair of ACME jetskates
AmFocused on my destination
EmI seem to have forgot my station
AmNow it's time to face the nation
C       G       D       Em
AmAnd I'm riding to meet you
On a brown gray speckled Emmare
But there's something that unnerDves me
Like I'm riding on thin Emair
These futile doubts deseDrt me
Thinking no one really cEmares
AmAnd I'm jumping over fences
On this obstacle coEmurse
But it seems I'm getting nowDhere
On the concept of the hoEmrse
It's a real hard Dsell
My conceptual heEmll
Not even good for kiBmndling
When the buildings they all fEmell
I'm a brDeatheGr, bottom DfeedGer
How many EmliterCs must I imEmbibe
And you Cknow it's all just par for the couGrse
But you Cblame it on some non-existent foGrce
Oh yeah, Emof courCse
You know you canG't ride the concept of the hoCrse
But still I try

Chords in this song · guitar

I'm a breather, mail receiver

And I don't know where I stand

Not since someone informed me

That my house was built on sand

And it's not the earth beneath me

D Em

It's just the concept of the land

And I'm standing on the corner

When the buildings they all fell

If you blink once you're a goner

Everything just goes pell-mell

It's a real hard sell

My conceptual hell

Not even good for kindling, no

When the buildings they all fell

D G D G

I'm a breather, mail receiver

Em C Em

Bottom feeder just getting by

C G

And you know it's all just par for the course

C G

But you blame it on some non-existent force

Em C

Oh yeah, of course

G C

You know you can't ride the concept of the horse

But still I try

In a cartoon desert landscape

With a pair of ACME jetskates

Focused on my destination

I seem to have forgot my station

Now it's time to face the nation

C G D Em

And I'm riding to meet you

On a brown gray speckled mare

But there's something that unnerves me

Like I'm riding on thin air

These futile doubts desert me

Thinking no one really cares

And I'm jumping over fences

On this obstacle course

But it seems I'm getting nowhere

On the concept of the horse

It's a real hard sell

My conceptual hell

Not even good for kindling

When the buildings they all fell

D G D G

I'm a breather, bottom feeder

Em C Em

How many liters must I imbibe

C G

And you know it's all just par for the course

C G

But you blame it on some non-existent force

Em C

Oh yeah, of course

G C

You know you can't ride the concept of the horse

But still I try
