Jeffrey Lewis - Exactly what nobody wanted

^A(x^F#m2) ^{Bm D}

You were ^Athrowing off sparks of pure ^F#mpower Sending ^Bmsignals from a mystery ^Dtower You didn't ^Abother making sure it was ^F#msinking It was a ^Bmdifferent way of working and ^Dthinking You were ^Areally wild and completely ex^F#mpressive So c^Bmreative, and intense, and ob^Dsessive You were ^Apractically completely ^F#mbeyond it And you were ^Bmexactly just what nobody ^Dwanted

You were ^Aconscious and responsive and ^F#mpresent You weren't ^Bmtrying to make something un^Dpleasant You were just ^Abouncing off of things that were ^F#mtrashy And it was ^Bmnever very tricky or ^Dflashy You had a ^Avision that was clear and di^F#mrected And the ^Bmway the words were all unex^Dpected You were unbe^Alievable and you were un^F#mdaunted You were e^Bmxactly just what nobody ^Dwanted

But to me it was so ^Aawesome, so ^F#mawesome, so ^Dawesome. So ^Aawesome, so ^F#mawesome, just ^Dawesome.

It was like a ^Afocus in on what had been ^F#mbrewing You did a ^Bmthing that no one else had been ^Ddoing You were just ^Asmall to see what made this or that ^F#mtick Maybe you ^Bmflipped it over so it all seemed ga^Dlactic It was ^Acrazy but you nearly be^F#mlieved it You gave it ^Bmeverything and lived it and ^Dbreathed it You made a ^Aspace where all these good things col^F#mlided And it made ap^Bmproximately no one ex^Dcited

It's hard to ^Aspeak about the stuff you in^F#mvented It was u^Bmnique in how it all got pre^Dsented It hit the ^Amark and never stopped going ^F#mforward Out of the ^Bmdarkness and with no signs and with ^Dno words You spoke a ^Alanguage that was instant and ^F#mbrutal And it made ^Bmall the art around it seem ^Dfutile You did it ^Awell and you could even re^F#mpeat it And that was ^Bmexactly just what nobody ^Dneeded

But to me it was so ^Aawesome, so ^F#mawesome, so ^Dawesome. So ^Aawesome, so ^F#mawesome, just ^Dawesome.

A ^F#mlong time waiting and ^Dmleaving And that's a ^F#mgood, weird faith to be^Dmlieve in A ^F#mmirror needs depth and an ^Dmangle Where the ^F#mlight waves wiggle and tangle So if s^F#momeone else had all your same concentration They still ^Dmcouldn't reach the same destination

There's really ^Asomething anywhere you look ^F#mclosely But a ^Bmlot of it could come or ^Dgo mostly But when something ^Areally comes a way that pre^F#mtenses Something ^Bmreally takes a swing for the ^Dfences Something ^Areally knocks it out of the ^F#mborders And rea^Bmrranges all the usual ^Dorders That's e^Axactly what the track you were ^F#mon did And that was e^Bmxactly just what nobody ^Dwanted

A reserved ^Aseat, you fought it and re^F#mceded You were so ^Bmperfectly what nobody ^Dneeded You pushed as ^Afar as you could make an i^F#mdea go With e^Bmxactly an impact of ^Dzero And basical^Aly the public never re^F#msponded You were so a^Bmmazingly what nobody ^Dwanted I held on ^Atight to every scrap that I ^F#mtook in But it all ^Bmhappened when nobody was ^Dlooking

But to me it was so ^Aawesome, so ^F#mawesome, so ^Dawesome. You were so ^Aawesome, so ^F#mawesome, just ^Dawesome.
