Kimya Dawson – Chemistry (Guitar)

C
my heart is on my sleeve my head is in the sand

F
i said how did we end up here? you said happenstance

C
but i didn't understand so i made other plans

F
i ran to the ocean washed the blood off of my hands

C
i washed away my tears washed away ten years

F
washed away the empty space in-between my ears

C
and you said all that i mean is that you and me

F
didn't meet because of fate but rather probability

C
and you said the truth's like corn and lies are like weeds

F
you said the schroedinger equation collapsed perfectly

C
and i said mercy me be patient please

F
'cause i don't know a goddam thing about the birds and the bees

C
i just know what i'm like and i'm like what i see

F
even though it's hard to see because you just blinded me

C
and if there's one thing i learned in chemistry

F
it's that the gain of electrons is reduction, obviously

C
but you can't see electrons without machines

F
and you can't tell from my inflection if i'm being mean

C
and i don't know if i can take you seriously

F
sometimes elections depend on the absentees

G                   F
and my family and my friends

                                            C
and all the little kids that love me make me strong

G
and no matter how this ends

F                              C
i know i'll never ever ever be alone

G             F     C
some day i'll be an old lady

G                     F
with a big dress and an apron

   C
a babushka and bare feet

G                 F
i'll be out in my garden

C
on my hands and knees

G
and i'll be singing a song

         F              C
that is really sad and sweet

F         G
Mummy and Daddy

             C
your baby is grown

        F                     G
And the smell of the cold wet dirt

              C       F  C
Reminds me of home
