F Bb C (x2)
When Fgravity's a palm pushing down on your head
Like the Bbdevil's got a paw dug Cin your shoulder
And the Fother one is rubbing your baBbck C
But the Fkitchen in this new place has a window
Yeah, Bbyou can grow basil on the Csill
Maybe you can Fcall your neighbors by name nBbow G#
FBerries on the dash is the sweetest kind of living
Still, Bbthis feels like eating the Cmeat of the mountain
It's Fall grit and gristle, I can't chew and swallow
I'm Bbgnawing my way back Chome
The Fclouds look a lot like wool gone through the wash
I Bbcheck my phone for the Ctime but I still wear my watch
F I'm confused about how I'm supposed to conBbnect to anything nCow

The Fkind of high I like is when I barely make the train
And the Bbpeople with a seat smile Cbig at me
Because they Fknow the feeling
And for a BbmillisecCond
We Fshare a look like a family does
Like we have Bbinside jokes, like we could Ccall each other
FBy little nicknamBbes C
And FI could tell the story of how my great
GrandBbmother's sister was Cdeemed a saint
How they exFhumed her body after years of being buried
And they Bbfound she hadn't even begCun to sully
So they Fmoved her again
Straight into theBb Vatican C
F Bb C
F Bb G#
I Fthink of all the billions of eyes
All Bblooking at something Cdifferent at the same time
And FI feel nauseoBbus G#
Some days FI can only see into my suitcase Bb C
It's got Feverything I need plus some superstitious
BbThings I may Calso need
F"Music soothes the savage beast"
the Bbpilot says to Cme and he asks me to sing
F But now is not the timBbe C
I Fjust want to fall into a pile of warm laundry
I Bbjust want to keep Cvery veryF quiet,Bb yeah C

It's FJune where you sleep, July where I land Bb G#
Thought I Fsaw you on a platform in Amsterdam Bb C
And I Fnearly missed my train
And I Bbfelt so defeated til I Cjumped on to
FSee all the warm smiles were for Bbme C
FI made my train and it made me so happy
I Bbmade my train and it Cmade me forget everything
It Fmade me forget, made me forget
BbMade me forget, it mCade me forget everything
It Fmade me forget, made me forget
BbMade me forget, mCade me forget everythFing
