[Ab]
[Eb] I don't think we've ever sung this song sitting down.
[B]
No, so you'll have to stand for us.
[Ab]
[Em] Yeah, if you know any of these songs, [B] it'd be really neat if you sang along.
Okay, I don't know.
Okay, ready?
Alright, a little more.
Okay, one, two, ready, [Abm] and
[B]
[Abm] [B]
[Ab] Hearing whips from above, a [Abm] blistering head on a hand of a [B] shovel,
[Ab] I've been digging [Abm] too deep, I [B] always do.
[Ab] I see my face on the surface, [B] I look [Abm] a lot like [B] Narcissus,
[Ab] A dark [Abm] abyss of an Edenus, standing [B] on the edge of a drowning blue.
[Abm] I look beyond [E] my ears [Abm] for the green, and even my sweat [Dbm] smells clean,
[Abm] Clear off the [Db] white hurts [Gb] my [Ab] eyes.
Gotta [B] get out of [Ab] bed, get a hammer and a nail, learn how to use my hands.
Not just my head, I think myself in [Gb] a jail, [Dbm] now I know refuge never [Abm] grows.
From a chin and [E] a hand in a [Db] fuffle puss, gotta tell [E] them the earth if [Ab] you wanna grow.
[B] [Abm] [B]
[Abm] I had a lot of good intentions, I [Ab] sit around for 50 years and then collect adventures,
Got a team to roll [Abm] the hell, and just [B] a red star.
But [Ab] my life is more than a vision, the sweetest part is [Abm] acting after making a decision.
I start to see my hole as a [B] sum of its parts, and [Abm] I,
I look beyond my ears for the green, and even my sweat smells [Dbm] clean,
[Abm] Clear off the white [Ab] hurts my eyes.
Gotta get out of bed, get a hammer and a nail, learn how to use my hands.
Not just my head, I think [E] myself in a jail, [Abm] now I know refuge never grows.

[B]
[Abm] [B]
My life [Abm] is part of the global life, I find myself becoming more immobile,
When I think a little, I can't do anything.
[Ab] The destination, [Abm] my community, [B] [Ab] and I'm a straight person, my responsibility,
If I ever [Abm] [B] get to breathe, yeah, [Abm] I look beyond my ears for the green,
Yeah, even my sweat smells [Dbm] clean, clear [E] off the white [Gb] hurts my [Ab] eyes.
Gotta get out of bed, get a hammer and a nail, learn how to use my hands.
