John Craigie - Dissect the bird

^CSometimes I wanna get up here and sing a bunch of ^Fnonsense ^CBut I know my voice ain’t good enough for ^Fbad lyrics ^CThis is the first song, this is the moment of truth If ^Fthis one fails, what good will the rest of them do I’m ^Ctrying to stay focused and stay in the moment All I can ^Fthink about is if my fly is open I ^Cswore I checked it before I went on Maybe that was ^Flast night I just can’t recall I’d ^Cask you to check for me but that’s askin’ a lot I’m just gonna ^Fcheck real quick, then I’ll move on

^COh, You’re doin it ^Gwrong Dissecting the ^Cbird trying to find a ^Fsong It’s a ^Cmira^Fcle that you’re ^Ghere at ^Fall

^CI don’t trust a musician who’s always complaining It’s ^Fhard out here but so is everything You know what my ^Cjob was before I did this? I used to ^Fwalk around parking lots picking up trash Do you know how many ^Cpeople paid to watch me do that? ^FZero, Always zero My draw was ^Czero for the trash pickup job So even if ^Fno one comes to this one, they still let me play guitar I don’t ^Ctrust a musician who’s always complaining Sometimes it’s ^Fclear some times it’s raining Sometimes it’s the ^CGorge sometimes it’s the garage Get over your^Fself and do your god damn job

^CSo when the candle flickers, when the days get dark ^FThey call them first world problems, but they still break your heart ^CWhen the universe feels like it’s against you Just take a m^Finute to realize all it took to make you Your ^Cparents had to meet - as random as that was And hang out ^Flong enough at least to make some love And make a ^Cbaby and give it your name And ^Fall of your ancestors had to do the same Exponentially ^Cbackwards to the start of life So ^Fmuch had to happen just exactly right ^CSparks had to catch Oceans had to freeze ^FBillions of cells had to survive endless disease Civili^Czations had to crumble wars had to be fought Bad ^Fpresidents had to get elected Good presidents had to get shot ^CPeople had to lead Hearts had to get broken. People had to ^Fdie so your eyes could open The uni^Cverse is not against you The ^Funiverse is not against you It went ^Cthrough a lot just to give you a chance It must have ^Fwanted you pretty bad No ^Cpressure though, no pressure though The ^Funiverse went through a lot but no pressure bro ^CYou don’t gotta be perfect You don’t gotta be a saint Just don’t ^Fwaste it - This was not a mistake

^COh, You’re doin it ^Gwrong Dissecting the ^Cbird trying to find a ^Fsong It’s a ^Cmira^Fcle that you’re ^Ghere at ^Fall
