[Intro]
Fm11I'm quite concerned it takes a C7beer to get me talking
On Db6anything of consquence these C7days.
Fm11I'm quite concerned that the C7man I am becoming
Is the Db6fool my mother said she didn't C7raise.
Fm11
[Verse]
Fm11I'm well aware of the C7apathy inside me,
How my Dbtelevision curls me like a C7cat.
Fm11I'd like a cause, like to C7find a few convictions.
Never Dbmind. Someone else went up to C7bat.
[Chorus]
Bbm9But I read somewhere, at any given moment,
CmHalf the earth is covered in clouds.
Dbmaj7Perfect in design, hanging in the balance
Of this Eb6half and half skyline.
There is Bbm9hope in the forecast, one day we're under shadow,
CmOne day, Cm7we're bound to Fm11shine.C7  
   DbWe're bound to shine.C7  
[Verse]
Fm11I'm quite concerned that the C7ladder I've been climbing
Takes me sDbtraight to the top (Takes me straight to the top)
Of a C7dog pile. (Of a dog pile)
Fm11What a view with no C7one there to share it.
Give me a Dbdrink. Let me sink to the bottom for a C7while.
[Chorus]
Bbm9But I read somewhere, at any given moment,
CmHalf the earth is covered in clouds.
