Intro: C F C C G C F C G C
Wowowowow!
C F C
Well if we really just grew out of pools of filth and chemicals
G
And nothing's really all that real, even how we feel
C F
And if our bodies and our hearts are mostly bodies of water
C F C G C
Then maybe something or somebody else is living inside me
Wowowowow!
C F C
So here's hoping that I'm hosting loads of parasites inside my brain
G
And in my gut I've got a town of trains and real life trains
C F
And they've got arms and legs and wheels and hearts and feelings of their own
C F C G C
I bet their spirits rise and fall, I bet they hurt and feel alone
Wowowowow!
F C
Well I hope a world that doesn't hate so much is living in my heart
F G
And in my mind something is getting built instead of torn apart
Am F C
What if everything I thought of somewhere at some point were true
Am F C G C
What if everything I felt was just the hurt of missing you
C F C
What if what if we could share something that felt a little pure?
G
What if my and your Venn diagrams were two wholly overlapping circles
C F
And what if we weren't always all alone inside our heads?
C F C G C
If can bring our lovers home to share our thoughts and not our beds.
