[Verse]
But Ganyways, before I leave I wanEmted to say, 
'look where you please but you Amwill not find a better friend than yourCself.' 
GNowadays, it's fairly apparent, I Emsuffer from severe disenchantment. 
                                         Am       C[fill]
I've made my bed with a nice pillow and no truth. 
[Tempo change]
[Chorus]
But really it's Gok. Call me toEmmorrow. 
AmPut it into perspective and there's Cno one to Dblame. 
It's just one of Gthose sins that comes with the Emmoment. 
AmIt's out of our hands and over Cour heads, and that's Dgreat... 
But where is the Emcomfort? And what is the Csure thing? 
Now Ghome is a luxury, I crawl Dup and sink in my love. 
See, heaven's a Emlet-down and god is exChausting. 
Us Gpseudo-intellectuals say Dthis is why we need our vices. 
[Bridge]

[During which kazoo plays]
doot doot.
We're Gdoomed to be always in love with the Emfragile things, 
chronically low on my Amgas and batteries while I'm battling Cthe itch to be Dgreat. 
So this is the Gcomfort, and this is the Emheart ache. 
AmLesson learned as animals, eCverything else seems Darbitrary.

[Verse]

G Em

But anyways, before I leave I wanted to say,

Am C

'look where you please but you will not find a better friend than yourself.'

G Em

Nowadays, it's fairly apparent, I suffer from severe disenchantment.

Am C

[fill]

I've made my bed with a nice pillow and no truth.

[Tempo change]

[Chorus]

G Em

But really it's ok. Call me tomorrow.

Am C D

Put it into perspective and there's no one to blame.

G Em

It's just one of those sins that comes with the moment.

Am C D

It's out of our hands and over our heads, and that's great...

Em C

But where is the comfort? And what is the sure thing?

G D

Now home is a luxury, I crawl up and sink in my love.

Em C

See, heaven's a let-down and god is exhausting.

G D

Us pseudo-intellectuals say this is why we need our vices.

[During which kazoo plays]

doot doot.

G Em

We're doomed to be always in love with the fragile things,

Am C D

chronically low on my gas and batteries while I'm battling the itch to be great.

G Em

So this is the comfort, and this is the heart ache.

Am C D

Lesson learned as animals, everything else seems arbitrary.
