[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
