[F#]
These are the thoughts that go through my head in my backyard on a Sunday afternoon
And I have the house to myself and I am not expending all that energy on fighting with
my [G] boyfriend
[D]
Is he the one that I will marry?
Why is it so hard to be objective about myself?
I knew I'd feel cellularly alone
Am I supposed to live in this crazy city?
Will [Bm] I need continued fear induced [G] from her?
Is it a [D] life denying tradition we overcome?
Where does the money go that I send to those in need?
We have so much to do, some people have nothing, still I do
I feel frantic when I first wake up in the morning
Why do you say you are [Bm] spiritual?
Yet [G] you treat people [D] like shit
How can you say you're close to God?
Yet you talk behind my back as though I'm not a part of you
I do, I say I'm fine when it's obvious I am not
Why is it so hard to tell [Bm] you what I want?
[G] Why can't you just [D] read my mind?
Why do I fear that the quieter I am, the [F#] less you will listen?
Why do I care whether you like me or not?
Why is it so hard for me to be angry?
Why is it such work to stay conscious and so easy to get stuck?
[G] And not the other [D] way around?
[Bm] Can I ever move [G] back to Canada?
[D] I feel it fail over with, and I am a student
[Bm] The master of why am I [G] encouraged to shut my [D] mouth
When it gets too close to home, why can't I [Bm] live [G] in the [D]
moment?
