[E]
[E] Oh, someone [F#] care to care, [D] nobody really gives a [C] damn.
For every [E] living day I give myself a hand
Now I'm [F#] scroungy as can be
I got all [D] you nobles looking at [C] me
I've got [A] golden [Em] eyes so everyone can see
[E]
[G] [A] [B]
[E] And my mind is a mind that I [E] have gone to know
And [A] my eyes can't [B] conceive a world I [E] cannot know
[C]
[D] [E] And Fridays [E] are always fresh days
[F#] Screaming
[D] [Am] and bleeding
[Bm] [E] [F#] through [D] the weeds
[C] Sitting here we all sleep [Em] beneath the trees
[A] [E] And my mind is a mind that I have gone to know
And [A] my eyes can't [B] conceive a [A] world I cannot [B] know
[A] [E] [C] And on the day I [A] die, thank God my soul will be [G] released
[B] [G]
[B] [A] [E] Oh, I've seen all your eyes and I've seen all your faces
Can you tell me how to sleep?
Do you wanna be free?
You look in my [B] eyes, I've been [A] locked in places
Can you tell me how to sleep?
Do you wanna be me?
Would you wanna be me?
[Em] [E] Thank you
[D] [B]
