[Intro]
E A
[Verse]
E A
Well im 32
I spent too long adoring my own flaws
E A
While stuck in this room I'm
Ruminating grooming little doubts
E A
I sucked on the spoon
So hard the silver all came off
E A
Im fearing offers too good
To give up doing what i love
F#9
Cause i need comfort
A7
I'm getting to that age where you need comfort
[Verse]
E A
My friends all have kids
They left the city, im a sitting duck
E A
Too poor to exist as an artist
E
In this city and save up
A
For a trip or any form of home
E A
Its forming thoughts fairly grim
What do i even own
F#9
I dont own comfort
A7
And im getting to that age where you need comfort
Emaj7
life's financial cage it doesn't offer
C#13
much leeway
F#major
a rich mans empty residence
B7
Sure sets a shitty precedent
[Verse]
E A
im trying to live
Before a full blown mid life crisis starts
E A
My soul has some give
I tried to glue it down to different spots
E A
im forced through a sieve
Intended to extract the savory parts
E A
But part of me still insists that
Chaos wins when faced with heart
[Verse]
F#9
and I know
I wasn't born on steady ground
A7
But I grow
endlessly in tandem
Emaj7
With lifes sores
C#13
That talk trash
F#major
Pick em up and do a dance
Am13
Kiss their foreheads
Break their necks
[Outro]
Emaj7*
Stocks and bonds and
E7
love and heartache
A Am13
Ostentatious art you might make
Emaj7*
Claim your space
E7
Embrace pretension
A Am13
Ambivalence it chokes
E
potential
