[intro]
AmI am a thoughtful guy; I Fthink about a lot of things
EmI am a thoughtful guy; GI think a lot of thoughts about a lot of things
[Verse 1]
I Amthink about space and the vastness of it
I Fthink about cake and how much I love it
I Emthink about if Wal-Mart is good or evil
I Gthink tattoos are cool... on other people
I Amthink about the unexplored depths of the ocean
I Fthink about the difference in ointment and lotion
I Emthink about if I should wax my back
I Gthink a handful of nuts is healthy snack
[Interlude]
AmI am a thoughtful guy
Right Fnow I'm thinking about the millions of microorganisms living on my body
It's Emlike I'm a mothership
Gx2
A 100% male mothership
[Verse 2]
I Amthink about how I could get on the local news
If I Fstrolled into a McDonalds and stripped down nude
I Emthink about a hotdog while I'm eating it
But Gthen I pause, 'cause I'm thinking about its ingredients
I Amthink about the first guy who ever shaved
And Fhow many times did he shave before the second guy caved?
I Emthink about if a friend were choking on iceG
"Just be patient" would the best advice
I Amthink about that moment when I'm drifting off to sleepF
And then my body jerks like I'm falling suddenly
I Emwonder if that's a defense mechanism for something
Like when you're Gsleeping on a cliff, or just top-bunking?
SomeAmtimes I think how old guys like to whittle
And Fhow if I start now and just whittle a little
My whittling Emskills will hone before I get old
And I'll Gpwn all my friends at the retirement home
I Amthink of all the places that a penny has been
Like, Fseriously, think of all the places that a penny's been in
It Emcould've been in the pocket of the President's suit
But it's Gprobably also been in some toddler's poop
'cause Amlittle kids eat pennies like they're Flintstone Vitamins
AcFcruing no interest while traveling inside of 'em
Re-Ementering circulation might boost the economy
But I'd Grather not pay with a penny that's performed a colonoscopy
I Amthink that our universe is really one of many
With Fmany parallel me's stretching to infinity
EmDoing activities similarly to me
GYet, at the same time, done slightly differently
And Amseemingly, right now, they could beF
Thinking this same thought as me
Well, a Emsimilar thought, but not the same thought exactlyG G
nc
That's pretty deep
[Interlude]
AmI am a thoughtful guy
Right Fnow, I'm thinkin about the people who invented words
Did Emthey just look at stuff and say the first thing that came to their mind?
G Gnc
And if so, how do you explain duffel bag?
[Verse 3]
AmI think how do I know that you and meF
See the same colors the same way when you and me see?
Is my Emred blue for you, or my green your green, too?G
Could it be true we see differing hues?
And say we Amdo; then how would we discover this fact?F
And even if we did, would there even be any impact?
I don't Emthink this would affect us personally
But I Gthink it would have ripple effects through the interior design industry
I Amthink about if I was turned into an ant
I'd want my Floved ones to know, so I thought of a plan
I'd gather Emtwigs and leaves and write my name on the ground
Then I'd Gwait for my family and friends to crowd around
But Amnow I'm thinking that when they saw it
They'd think the Fhuman me wrote it and an ant was crawling on it
Then not Emrealizing the ant me was really the real me
In a Gstrange twist of fate I think they'd probably kill me
[Outro]
AmI - am a thoughtful guyF
EmI - am a thoughtful guyG
And right Amnow, I'm thinking about what if I was abducted by aliens while I had Fa really bad farmer's tan?
The aliens might incorrectly conclude that our species Emwas two-toned.
GThat's exactly what I thought.
AmAnd then somehow, through this error, Fmy tan lines saved the human race.
FI like that thought.
Yeah, I think a Emlot of thoughts like that.
GMe, Gtoo.
