1st traste
[Verse 1]
D
I can't believe you've never felt this magic before
I got glitter in my brain and there's trash on my floor
Em
Same song has been repeating for three or four days
A
I can't pay attention to whatever you're saying
D
I wanna talk about a movie but I'm feeling ignored
So I'll cry in my corner and I'll watch it some more
Em
I only like things when I see where they're going
A
There's no greater fear than the fear of not knowing
[Chorus]
Em A D
And what is more exciting than making up a world inside your mind?
Em A D
And what is more intriguing than being over-analytical sometimes?
Em
Do you not see how it's connected?
A
Is your body not affected?
D Bm
I will tell you and you'll forget by tonight
Em
And that's fine
A D
It's not your brain it's mine
[Verse 2]
D
There's a pile of old laundry that I'm trying to ignore
But I got jitters of excitement that I feel to my core
Em
What do you mean I'm too old to be spinning around?
A
How else do you cope with all the treasure you've found?
D
Inside a book, inside a movie, in the science of space
How does your body sit still, does your mind not start to race?
Em
How can I explain some things make me so happy
A
That my shoulders start to wiggle and my hands start flapping
[Chorus]
Em A D
What is more delightful than giving in to what fills you with joy??
Em A D
And why would I subject myself to being bothered by being called "annoying"???
Em
I guess you might not get it
A
But I hope that you will admit
D Bm
It's overrated to act grownup all the time
Em
And that's fine
A D
It's not your brain it's mine
D
