[Earth]
A E
This is my earth and I live in it
D Dm
It’s one third dirt and two thirds water
A
And it rotates and revolves through space
A7
At rather an impressive pace
D Dm A
And never even messes up my hair
F#m
And here’s the really weird thing
Bsus4 B
The force created by its spin
D A E
Is the force that stops the chaos flooding in
Bsus2 A6sus2 Dsus2/B Dsus2/A
This is my Earth .. and it’s fine
E C# F#m
It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time
F#7 Bm Bm11/A A
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine
Bm Bm11/A D*
It’s not perfect

[Country]
A E
This is my country and I live in it
D Dm
It’s pretty big and nice to walk on
A
And the bloke who runs my country
A7
Has built a demagoguery
D Dm A
And taught us to be fearful and boring
F#m
And the weirdest thing is that he is
Bsus4 B
Conservative of politics
D A E
But really rather radical of eyebrow
Bsus2 A6sus2 Dsus2/B Dsus2/A
This is my country .. and it’s fine
E C# F#m
It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time
F#7 Bm Bm11/A A
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine
Bm Bm11/A D*
It’s not perfect
[House]
A C#
This is my house and I live in it
D Dm
It’s made of cracks and photographs
A A7
We rent it off a guy who bought it from a guy
D
Who bought it from a guy
Dm A
Whose grandad left it to him
F#m
And the weirdest thing is that this house
Bsus4 B
Has locks to keep the baddies out
D A E
But they’re mostly used to lock ourselves in
Bsus2 A6sus2 Dsus2/B Dsus2/A
This is my house .. and it’s fine
E C# F#m
It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time
F#7 Bm Bm11/A A
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine
Bm Bm11/A G*
It’s not perfect .. but it's mine

[Body]
A E
This is my body and I live in it
D Dm
It’s 31 and 6 months old
A
It’s changed a lot since it was new
A7
It’s done stuff it wasn’t built to do
D Dm A
I often try to fill it up with wine
F#m
And the weirdest thing about it is
Bsus4 B
I spend so much time hating it
D A E
But it never says a bad word about me
Bsus2 A6sus2 Dsus2/B Dsus2/A
This is my body .. and it’s fine
E C# F#m
It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time
F#7 Bm Bm11/A A
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine
Bm Bm11/A D*
It’s not perfect
[Brain]
A C#
This is my brain and I live in it
D Dm
It’s made of love and bad song lyrics
A
It’s tucked away behind my eyes
A7
Where all my fucked up thoughts can hide
D Dm A
Cos God forbid I hurt somebody
F#m
And the weirdest thing about a mind
Bsus4 B
Is that every answer that you find
D A E
Is the basis of a brand new cliché
Bsus2 A6sus2 Dsus2/B Dsus2/A
This is my brain .. and it’s fine
E C# F#m
It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time
F#7 Bm Bm11/A A
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine
Bm Bm11/A A
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine
Bm Bm11/A
It’s not perfect
A Bm Bm11/A A
I’m not quite sure I’ve worked out how to work it
Bm Bm11/A G*
It’s not perfect .. but it's mine
