[E] This is a song about that that feeling I think we all get [A] sometimes
Where you feel like you're the smallest doll in a babushka doll
This is my earth
[E] And I live in it
[D] It's one third dirt and
[Dm] two thirds water
[A] And it rotates and revolves through space
rather an impressive pace
[D] And never even [Dm] messes up my [A] hair
[F#] Here's a really [F#m] weird thing
The force created by its spin [D] is the force it stops the [A] chaos flooding in
[E] This is [F#] my earth
[F#m] And it's [Bm] fine
[D] [E] It's where I spend the vast majority
[C#] of [F#m] my [F#] time
It's [D] not perfect
But it's [A] mine
It's not perfect
This [A] is my country
[E] And I live in it
[D] It's pretty big and
[Dm] nice to walk on [A] and the bloke who runs my country has built a
Demagoguery [D] and taught us to [Dm] be fearful and boring
And [F#] the weirdest thing is [F#m] that he is
Conservative of [B] politics, [D] but really rather [A] radical of [E] eyebrows
This is [F#] my country
[F#m] And [D] it's fine
[Bm] [D] [E] It's where I spent the vast majority
[C#] Of my [F#] time it's [Bm] not [D] perfect
But [A] it's mine
It's [D] not perfect
This is [A] my house
[C#] And I live in it
[D] It's made of cracks and
[Dm]
Photographs we [A] rented off a guy who bought it from a guy who bought
It from [D] a guy whose [G] granddad left it to [A] him
[F#] And the weirdest thing is that [F#m] this house has locks to keep the [B] baddies out
[D] But they're mostly used [A] to lock ourselves
[E] in
This is [F#] my house
[F#m] And [D] it's fine
[E] It's where I spend the vast majority
[C#] Of my [F#] time
It's [Bm] not perfect
[D] But it's [A]
mine
It's not [B] perfect

[C#] [A] This is my body [E] and I live in it
[D] It's
31 and
[Dm] six months old
It's [A] changed a lot since it was new.
It's done stuff that wasn't built to do I
[D] Often [G] try to fill it up [A] with wine
And [F#] the weirdest thing [F#m] about it is I
Spent so much [D#] time hating it, but [D] it never says [A] a bad word [E] about me
This is [F#m] my body
And [Bm] it's fine
[D] [E] Where I spend the vast [C#] majority
Of my [F#m] time.
It's [Bm] not perfect
[D]
But it's [A] mine
It's not [D] perfect
This is my brain
[A]
[C#] And I live in it
[D] It's made of love and [Dm] bad song lyrics
[D]
[A] It's tucked away behind my eyes where [Am] all my screwed-up thoughts can hide
[D] Cuz God forbid [Dm] I hurt somebody
[A]
[F#] And
The weirdest thing [F#m] about a mind
Is it every answer [B] that you find is the [D] basis [A] of a brand new?
[E] cliche
This is [F#] my brain [F#m] and
It's fine
