This body whose nC5eck and shoulders aB5re steady as thA5read
[Verse 2]
This bAody, that's only A/C#let me down
Whose hA/Bead was always turned up to tAen
That wasn't cAhosen, to be on aA/C#nyone's team

[Intro]

A5 A5/C# A5/B A5

[Verse 1]

A5 A5/C#

This body, that's only done me wrong

A5/B A5

That always proved weak when I needed it strong

A5 A5/C#

That lays down to rest, when I need to run

A5/B A5

That refuses to go just on

C5 B5 A5

This body whose neck and shoulders are steady as thread

[Verse 2]

A A/C#

This body, that's only let me down

A/B A

Whose head was always turned up to ten

A A/C#

That wasn't chosen, to be on anyone's team

A/B A

Was picked last and never fought hard enough

C5 B5 A

It finally spoke out, said: "We need to see what this is about"

[Interlude]

A A/C# A/B A

[Verse 3]

A A/C#

Oh, body, how I have wished of you

A/B A

That you'd look different than you do

A A/C#

I'm sorry, I feel apologetic

A/B A

You had better things to do

C5 B5

You had an agenda, and I never saw that

C5 B5

You're growing a kid now, it's sprouting like hell now

I'm suddenly dirt

[Interlude]

A A/C# A/B A

[Outro verse]

It's like finding a hidden door

In the house you always lived in

With a secret room, and it holds diamonds and pearls

A A/C#

You're a rock and you're the sea

A/B A

You're the fox and you're the hunter

A A/C#

You're not less and you're not more than

A/B A

anything

A A/C#

You're your mother and your father

A/B A

You're their mothers and their fathers

A A/C#

Let your shoulders down, you're not going to

A/B A

war

A A/C# A/B A
