[Verse]
There’s Am7 billion 46 million people on the planet
And most of us have the audacity to think we matter
CHeDy, you Em7hear the one about the comedian who croaked?C  
Someone stabbed him in the heart, just a little poke
But he keeled oBmver ‘cause he went into battle wearing chain mail made Emof jokes
AmHey, you hear the one about the screenwriter who passed away?
He was giving elevator pitches and the elevator got stuck halfwayC  
He enDded up eating Em7smushed sandwiches they pushed through a crack in the Cdoor
And repeating the same crappy screenplay idea about talking dogs 'til his last day
Hey, Bmyou hear the one about the fisherman who passed?Em  
He didn’t jump Amoff that ledge
He just stepped out into the air and pulled the ground up towards him really fast
Like he was pitching a line and went fishing for conCcreteD  
The earth Em7is a drum and he’s hitting it on Cbeat
The reason there’s smog in Los Angeles is ‘cause if we could see the stars
If we could see the context Bmof the universe in which we exist
And we could see Emhow small each Amone of us is
Against the vastness of what we don’t know
No one would ever audition for a McDonalds commercial aCgain
DAnd then where Em7would we be?
No frozen Cdinners and no TV
And is that a world we want to text in?
Either someone just microwaved popcorn
Or I hear the Bmsound of a thousand people pulling their heads out of their Emasses in rapid sucAmcession
The people are hunched over in Boston
They’re starting app stores and screen printing companies in San Francisco
They’re grinCning in Los AnDgeles like they’ve Em7got fishhooks in the corners of their mouth
But Cdon’t paint me like the good guy ‘cause every time I write
I get to choose the angle that you view me and select the nBmicest light
You wouldn’t respect me if you heEmard the typewriter chatter Amtap tap
Tapping through my mind at night
The same stupid tape loop of old sitcom dialogue
And tattered memories of a girl I Cgot to grind Don in high Em7school
Filed carefully on rice pCaper
My heart is a colored pencil
But my brain is an eraser
I don’t want a real girl, I want to trace her from a Bmcatalogue
Truth be told EmI’m unlikely to hold Amyou down
Cause my soul is a crowded subway train
And people keep deciding to get on the next one that rolls through town
I’m joining a Cfalse moveDment in San Em7Francisco
I’m frowning and hunched over Cin Boston
I’m smiling in Los Angeles like I’ve got fishhooks in the corners of my mouth
And I’m celebrating Bmon weekends
Because there are 7 bilEmlion 47 Ammillion people on the planet
And I have the audacity to think I matter
I know it’s a lie but I prefer it to the alternaCtive
Because I’ve got Da tourniEm7quet tied at my elbow
I’ve got a blunt wrap Cfilled with compliments and I’m burnin it
You say to go to sleep but I been bouncing off my bedroom walls since I was heBmcka small
We’re every age at once and tuEmcked inside ourselves like Russian Amnesting dolls
My mother is an 8 year old girl
My grandson is a 74 year old retiree whose kidneys just failed
And that’s Cthe glue beDtween me and Em7you
That’s the screws and nails
We live in Ca house made of each other
And if that sounds strange that’s because it is
Someone Bmplease freeze time so I can run around turning Emeveryone’s pockets inAmside out
And remember...
You didn’t see shit
[Outro]

[Intro]

Em7 C Bm Em

[Verse]

There’s 7 billion 46 million people on the planet

And most of us have the audacity to think we matter

C D Em7 C

Hey, you hear the one about the comedian who croaked?

Someone stabbed him in the heart, just a little poke

Bm Em

But he keeled over ‘cause he went into battle wearing chain mail made of jokes

Hey, you hear the one about the screenwriter who passed away?

He was giving elevator pitches and the elevator got stuck halfway

D Em7 C

He ended up eating smushed sandwiches they pushed through a crack in the door

And repeating the same crappy screenplay idea about talking dogs 'til his last day

Bm Em

Hey, you hear the one about the fisherman who passed?

He didn’t jump off that ledge

He just stepped out into the air and pulled the ground up towards him really fast

C D

Like he was pitching a line and went fishing for concrete

Em7 C

The earth is a drum and he’s hitting it on beat

The reason there’s smog in Los Angeles is ‘cause if we could see the stars

If we could see the context of the universe in which we exist

Em Am

And we could see how small each one of us is

Against the vastness of what we don’t know

No one would ever audition for a McDonalds commercial again

D Em7

And then where would we be?

No frozen dinners and no TV

And is that a world we want to text in?

Either someone just microwaved popcorn

Bm Em Am

Or I hear the sound of a thousand people pulling their heads out of their asses in rapid succession

The people are hunched over in Boston

They’re starting app stores and screen printing companies in San Francisco

C D Em7

They’re grinning in Los Angeles like they’ve got fishhooks in the corners of their mouth

But don’t paint me like the good guy ‘cause every time I write

I get to choose the angle that you view me and select the nicest light

Em Am

You wouldn’t respect me if you heard the typewriter chatter tap tap

Tapping through my mind at night

The same stupid tape loop of old sitcom dialogue

C D Em7

And tattered memories of a girl I got to grind on in high school

Filed carefully on rice paper

My heart is a colored pencil

But my brain is an eraser

I don’t want a real girl, I want to trace her from a catalogue

Em Am

Truth be told I’m unlikely to hold you down

Cause my soul is a crowded subway train

And people keep deciding to get on the next one that rolls through town

C D Em7

I’m joining a false movement in San Francisco

I’m frowning and hunched over in Boston

I’m smiling in Los Angeles like I’ve got fishhooks in the corners of my mouth

And I’m celebrating on weekends

Em Am

Because there are 7 billion 47 million people on the planet

And I have the audacity to think I matter

I know it’s a lie but I prefer it to the alternative

D Em7

Because I’ve got a tourniquet tied at my elbow

I’ve got a blunt wrap filled with compliments and I’m burnin it

You say to go to sleep but I been bouncing off my bedroom walls since I was hecka small

Em Am

We’re every age at once and tucked inside ourselves like Russian nesting dolls

My mother is an 8 year old girl

My grandson is a 74 year old retiree whose kidneys just failed

C D Em7

And that’s the glue between me and you

That’s the screws and nails

We live in a house made of each other

And if that sounds strange that’s because it is

Bm Em Am

Someone please freeze time so I can run around turning everyone’s pockets inside out

And remember...

You didn’t see shit

[Outro]

C D Em7 C Bm Em Am C D Em7 C Bm Em Am
