Chords

[Intro] G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G G [Verse 1]
G         Cmaj7     G         Cmaj7
I haven't written a song in a month

       G           Cmaj7        G         G
So I'm playing the same chords again

G        Cmaj7       G           Cmaj7
I know I need to get lost in the moment

      G          Cmaj7     G         G
But I get lost before it begins

                   Am
Fingers stretching out into space

              Em                    D
Reaching as a thought slips away
[Verse 2]
G            Cmaj7           G           Cmaj7
It's been so long since I've done what I should

          G            Cmaj7       G         G
That I forgot what I'm supposed to do

G         Cmaj7         G         Cmaj7
Realistic goals, feels amazing to set them

     G             Cmaj7        G         G
Like shit when you don't follow through

               Am
Or even make repeated attempts

                Cmaj7                Em
Your paranoia's got you verklempt
[Chorus]
G                       Cadd9 G
Song of the year of the century

G                 Cadd9   G
I wanna wake in a new country

G                      Cadd9 G
One without fear of my enemies

Em        Dsus4    Cmaj7
Coming at me in my sleep
Em D [Verse 3]
G          Cmaj7       G              Cmaj7
I tried to ride the sunshine from the morning

      G        Cmaj7 G      G
Right over the 8 PM hump

G         Cmaj7      G          Cmaj7
Six miles later, I'm drinking a tallboy

    G        Cmaj7      G      G
And rolling another one up

                     Am
Forgive yourself for not being good

                  Cmaj7                  Em
Chase the morning wrapped in a hood
[Verse 4]
G           Cmaj7             G        Cmaj7
Rinse and repeat and think of anything else

G             Cmaj7    G      G
Tomorrow when you run along

    G            Cmaj7         G       Cmaj7
The second fence they built on Suicide Bridge

        G           Cmaj7        G      G
I guess people just kept jumping off

           Am
Even if we all understand

                          Em
There's people that wanna see you again

                          Am
There's people that wanna see you again

                               C
And don't care if this fucking place is a shit hole
[Chorus]
G                       Cadd9 G
Song of the year of the century

G                 Cadd9     G
I wanna wake in a new country

G                     Cadd9 G
One without famine or poverty

    Am
No elite

G                       Cadd9 G
Song of the year of the century

G                         Cadd9 G
Good if you're not really listening

G                 Cadd9 G
Bad at affecting reality
[Verse 5]
Em      D
Covid a million

C        G
Dinosaur flu

Em           D          C          G
I'd lick the floor if I got to see you

Am                           C/B
Caring makes you feel like a chump

                     Cmaj7
When you see someone else

                 Cmaj7
Who doesn't want to
