"Da da da da":

F Bb C (x2)
F
When gravity's a palm pushing down on your head
Bb C
Like the devil's got a paw dug in your shoulder
F Bb C
And the other one is rubbing your back
F
But the kitchen in this new place has a window
Bb C
Yeah, you can grow basil on the sill
F Bb G#
Maybe you can call your neighbors by name now
F
Berries on the dash is the sweetest kind of living
Bb C
Still, this feels like eating the meat of the mountain
F
It's all grit and gristle, I can't chew and swallow
Bb C
I'm gnawing my way back home
F
The clouds look a lot like wool gone through the wash
Bb C
I check my phone for the time but I still wear my watch
F Bb C
I'm confused about how I'm supposed to connect to anything now

F
The kind of high I like is when I barely make the train
Bb C
And the people with a seat smile big at me
F
Because they know the feeling
Bb C
And for a millisecond
F
We share a look like a family does
Bb C
Like we have inside jokes, like we could call each other
F Bb C
By little nicknames
F
And I could tell the story of how my great
Bb C
Grandmother's sister was deemed a saint
F
How they exhumed her body after years of being buried
Bb C
And they found she hadn't even begun to sully
F
So they moved her again
Bb C
Straight into the Vatican
F Bb C
F Bb G#
F
I think of all the billions of eyes
Bb C
All looking at something different at the same time
F Bb G#
And I feel nauseous
F Bb C
Some days I can only see into my suitcase
F
It's got everything I need plus some superstitious
Bb C
Things I may also need
F
"Music soothes the savage beast"
Bb C
the pilot says to me and he asks me to sing
F Bb C
But now is not the time
F
I just want to fall into a pile of warm laundry
Bb C F Bb C
I just want to keep very very quiet, yeah
F Bb C
F Bb G#
F Bb C (x2)
F Bb G#
It's June where you sleep, July where I land
F Bb C
Thought I saw you on a platform in Amsterdam
F
And I nearly missed my train
Bb C
And I felt so defeated til I jumped on to
F Bb C
See all the warm smiles were for me
F
I made my train and it made me so happy
Bb C
I made my train and it made me forget everything
F
It made me forget, made me forget
Bb C
Made me forget, it made me forget everything
F
It made me forget, made me forget
Bb C F
Made me forget, made me forget everything
