[Verse]
Cm G5
I don’t wanna live tomorrow, I’m too busy living for today
Cm
And I’ll stop singing when there’s nothing left to say
G5 Fm Eb Dm Cm
In these two chords, everything’s okay
Cm
I went to school and cut my teeth on all the lies
G5
That they told did what they said was right
Cm
And found out that my morals had been sold
To the bidder who was better at the game
G5 Fm Eb Dm Cm
Gotta find a way to keep on feeding this flame
[Chorus]
Fm G7 Cm
I went downstairs and heard my family sing
Fm G7 Cm
I found out there that I’m no more than nothing
[Verse]
Cm G5
My breath is smelling worse these days, I think my teeth are rotting out my skull
Cm
Pick them out one by one, pack letters I won’t write into the holes
And when I’m wetter and unfettered by the pain
G5 Fm Eb Dm Cm
I’ll bite down hard, preserve what’s left of my brain
Cm
Salt and water mixed together is a mode of preservation
G5 Cm
But I’ve found anger and gasoline a better remedy for starvation
Our protestations, no threat to our great nation
G5 Fm Eb Dm Cm
But cogs in machines still might cause cessation
[Chorus]
Fm G7 Cm
I went upstairs and heard the angels sing
Fm G7 Cm
I looked away but I’m still trembling
[Verse]
Cm
Scars surround us in our landscapes in our seascapes in our dreamscapes
G7 Cm
Is filling them with concrete the smartest and the fastest way to escape
From this hellscape? Is there another route we can take?
G7 Fm Eb Dm Cm
To restore the ways we’ve never known unerased
[Chorus]
Fm G7 Cm
I went outside and heard my G*d sing
Fm G7 Cm
These were the words my G*d sang to me
[Verse]
(Guitar drops out)
Cm G5
One day the dams will burst, the salmon will run freely to their homes
Cm
The roads will crack and shudder, buried underground with the bones of industry
That’s been reaping what we’ve sown
G5 Fm Eb Dm Cm
Go out there and build the world I’ve shown
[Chorus]
Fm G7 Cm
I looked inside and heard my G*d growing
Fm G7 Cm
I looked away but I’m still trembling
Fm G7 Cm
I looked inside and saw my G*d growing
Fm G7 Cm
And I found out then that I am simply nothing
