Not bracing for what comes next

I've got some new words

I can see sideways

 If there's a limit

It hasn't found me yet

My friend is an artist

Doesn't fit in

Lost a front tooth

Can't keep a job

 But the things you make

Are so beautiful

 They bring me joy

 Don't you ever stop

[CHORUS]

The hungry fools

 Who rule the world can't catch us

Em D

Surely they can't ruin everything

[VERSE]

I just want

 I wanna be here with you

Em D

Not bracing for what comes next

I just want

I wanna be here with you

 I've got some new words

 I can see sideways

 If there's a limit

 It hasn't found me yet
