C G B7 Em C
At the end of everything and everywhere at once
G B7 Em
The small world seems so wide
C G D7 B7 Em
And you don't realize how bad it was
C G B7
Until you come out the other side
C G B7 Em
Tragedies are really quite bizarre
C G B7 Em
Are you ever sure you're seeing them for who they are
C G D7 B7 Em
And an uncaring, uncanny, unfair god
C G B7
Tells me to hang on to hope
C G B7 Em
Seeing shapes out of my attic window
C G D7 B7 Em
Real trees, not really trees, but shapes that chose
C G D7 B7 Em C G
Not to exist for me anymore, no
B7
That's what they chose
G Em
Arm on the bugs on the floor on the ground
Am D7 G
Hometown ground, the cult of hometown pulls me
Em Am
Into deeper despair, dying for sound
D7
Telling I cannot control this, but gently
Am D7
And when I die, it should mean something more
G Em
Than watching, everyday, everyone die
Am D7
Instead, it should hurt, but it hurts the poor
G
More than the rich want to pretend to cry
Am D7 Em
Still, I wish the world as grand as can be
C D7 Gmaj7
And I want the world to exist just for me
Em
Am C D7
Gmaj7 G7 (mute top e and a strings, play bottom four open)
