Chords

[Intro] C G [Verse 1]
C
  No choice for the feeling but to fester

F                            C       Dm
  No chance I could cover it with my shell

                Dm
No shade at the center of the center

G
  You think you're someone

Em                E7          Am
  Who thinks he's somebody else
[Chorus]
                    F
But you're only yourself

                C  G
You're only yourself

Am                F
  You're only yourself

                C G C   G
You're only yourself
[Verse 2]
C
  The death march of complexity and context

F                        Am       Dm
  High art how we cannibalized ourselves

                     Dm
The real threat oils up and shovels popcorn

G
  You swear it's someone

Em               E7       Am
  Turns out it's somebody else
[Chorus]
                    F
But you're only yourself

                C  G
You're only yourself

Am                F
  You're only yourself

                C G F
You're only yourself
[Bridge]
          Am
Come on inside

Em          F
Sleep in my skull

           C
Hole in my head

      G          F
And I never feel full

                  Am
The weight of the world

     Em      F
Is a nursery rhyme:

                       Em E7 Am
"We've got nothing but time"
[Solo] F C G Am F C G F Am [Verse 3]
C
  Full stop at the genesis of language

F                             Am        Dm
  No words for the bottomless depths we felt

                      Dm
Black bark chokes the forest of our knowledge

G
  I can't be someone

Em           E7       Am
  I can't be somebody else
[Chorus]
           F
I'm only myself

           C  G
I'm only myself

Am           F
  I'm only myself

           C  G
I'm only myself

Am           F
  I'm only myself

           C  G
I'm only myself

Am           F
  I'm only myself

           C G F
I'm only myself
[Outro] G C
