As recorded by Kevin Devine (From the 2003 Album MAKE THE CLOCKS MOVE) [Intro] Em7 D A G Em7 D A [Verse 1]
A                      G
We're a nation full of dumbbells

Em7                        D
Pulling nightshifts at the gym

A7                         G
And we're a nation full of bookworm girls

Em              D
Dumbing down to fall in love with them

A7                     G
We're a nation full of suspects

Em7                    D
Whistling dixie at the scene

    A                      G
And we're a nation full of bad detectives

Em7              D
Selling clues to everyone we meet

                       G
We're a nation full of envy

Em7                 D
Insecure and losing sleep

A7                     G
We're a nation full of jealous boyfriends

Em7            D
Driven nuts by facts and history
[Verse 2]
D                      G
We're a nation full of ivy

Em7                       D
It's wall to wall to wall all green

A7                         G
And we're a nation full of soundbyte bloodcells

Em7                G
Bound in knots and swelling down the stream

D                    G
We wrap bibles up in blankets

Em7                           Bm
Just in case we're watched in sleep

A                            G
But it's the slingshots underneath our pillows

     Em7              D
That keep us calm and rested and relieved

A                              G           Em7                Bm
'Cause we're a nation built on egg shells, bandages and apple seeds

A                          G
Attractive homes on top of bruised foundations

     Em7                A
That come apart gradually

  G            Em7             D  C#m A
Before they're leveled completely

       G            Em7             D
Yeah before they're leveled completely 
[Outro] A G Em7 D A G Em7 D A G Em7 D A G Em
