Jeff Rosenstock – Polar Bear Or Africa (Guitar)

      C     G        Am               F 
As I desaturate the fertile greens, I wanna tell you I

      C      G          Am                    F 
Don't perpetuate these western schemes but I can't stop laughing at

    C          G           Am                       F 
The shortsightedness of childhood dreams where we're all young astronauts.

    C          G          Am          E
The truth is it sucks being young and in love.

            F              Dm                F       Dm
When you're old you're just bummed that you'll never be happy enough.

     C       G           Am           F       
Swim in waterfalls while parents sleep; emerge with spider bites.

    C       G          Am              F 
Fearlessly exploring new countries, I crashed my motorbike.

         C               G       Am
I wanted to outline the scar in tattoo ink.

          F 
It looked like a polar bear or Africa.

        C        G          Am      E        
But the scar went away and my memories changed.

       F          Dm         F      Dm
No, it wouldn't be great to be back in 1998.

C
I've been treating my body.

E                      Am
Like I never worry that I'm gonna die

F
Because you would forgive me.

C
I've been treating my body.

E
Like I, like I'm worried

     Am       G          F         Dm                  C
That I'm gonna die and you're gonna forget my name.

   Am                    G                        Dm             F
