As recorded by Modest Mouse (From the 1999 Album BUILDING NOTHING OUT OF SOMETHING) [Intro] C G C G [Verse 1]
G
I'm the same as I was when I was six years old

G
And, oh my God, I feel so damn old

               C            G
I don't really feel anything

C    G      Em                 G
On a plane, I can see the tiny lights below

G
And, oh my God, they look so alone

                 C                   G
Don't think they really feel anything

           Em                        G
Oh my God, I've gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta move on

G
Where do you move when what you're moving from

C      G                 Em G  C G
Is yourself, is yourself?
[Chorus]
C                       G
The universe works on a math equation

     Em                          G
That never even ever really even ends in the end

C                G
Infinity spirals out creation

             Em         G
We're on the tip of its tongue, and it is saying

       Em            G
"Well, we ain't sure where you stand

          C                G
You ain't machines and you ain't land

        Em             C        G
And the plants and the animals, they are linked

        Em             G                     Em G  Em G
And the plants and the animals eat each other"

Is yourself, is yourself?

[Outro]
G
Well, oh my God and oh my cat

G
I told my Dad what I need

G
Well, I know what I have and want

G
But I don't know what I need

G
Well, he said, he said, he said, he said

G                           Em G   Em G   Em G
"Where we're going I'm dead"
