[intro]
Am F I am a thoughtful guy; I think about a lot of things Em G I am a thoughtful guy; I think a lot of thoughts about a lot of things
[Verse 1]
Am I think about space and the vastness of it F I think about cake and how much I love it Em I think about if Wal-Mart is good or evil G I think tattoos are cool... on other people Am I think about the unexplored depths of the ocean F I think about the difference in ointment and lotion Em I think about if I should wax my back G I think a handful of nuts is healthy snack
[Interlude]
Am I am a thoughtful guy F Right now I'm thinking about the millions of microorganisms living on my body Em It's like I'm a mothership G x2 A 100% male mothership
[Verse 2]
Am I think about how I could get on the local news F If I strolled into a McDonalds and stripped down nude Em I think about a hotdog while I'm eating it G But then I pause, 'cause I'm thinking about its ingredients Am I think about the first guy who ever shaved F And how many times did he shave before the second guy caved? Em G I think about if a friend were choking on ice
"Just be patient" would the best advice
Am F I think about that moment when I'm drifting off to sleep
And then my body jerks like I'm falling suddenly
Em I wonder if that's a defense mechanism for something G Like when you're sleeping on a cliff, or just top-bunking? Am Sometimes I think how old guys like to whittle F And how if I start now and just whittle a little Em My whittling skills will hone before I get old G And I'll pwn all my friends at the retirement home Am I think of all the places that a penny has been F Like, seriously, think of all the places that a penny's been in Em It could've been in the pocket of the President's suit G But it's probably also been in some toddler's poop Am 'cause little kids eat pennies like they're Flintstone Vitamins F Accruing no interest while traveling inside of 'em Em Re-entering circulation might boost the economy G But I'd rather not pay with a penny that's performed a colonoscopy Am I think that our universe is really one of many F With many parallel me's stretching to infinity Em Doing activities similarly to me G Yet, at the same time, done slightly differently Am F And seemingly, right now, they could be
Thinking this same thought as me
Em G G Well, a similar thought, but not the same thought exactly
nc
That's pretty deep
[Interlude]
Am I am a thoughtful guy F Right now, I'm thinkin about the people who invented words Em Did they just look at stuff and say the first thing that came to their mind? G G nc And if so, how do you explain duffel bag?
[Verse 3]
Am F I think how do I know that you and me
See the same colors the same way when you and me see?
Em G Is my red blue for you, or my green your green, too?
Could it be true we see differing hues?
Am F And say we do; then how would we discover this fact?
And even if we did, would there even be any impact?
Em I don't think this would affect us personally G But I think it would have ripple effects through the interior design industry Am I think about if I was turned into an ant F I'd want my loved ones to know, so I thought of a plan Em I'd gather twigs and leaves and write my name on the ground G Then I'd wait for my family and friends to crowd around Am But now I'm thinking that when they saw it F They'd think the human me wrote it and an ant was crawling on it Em Then not realizing the ant me was really the real me G In a strange twist of fate I think they'd probably kill me
[Outro]
Am F I - am a thoughtful guy Em G I - am a thoughtful guy Am F And right now, I'm thinking about what if I was abducted by aliens while I had a really bad farmer's tan? Em The aliens might incorrectly conclude that our species was two-toned. G That's exactly what I thought. Am F And then somehow, through this error, my tan lines saved the human race. F I like that thought. Em Yeah, I think a lot of thoughts like that. G G Me, too. as a bonus, here's the little piano solo that happens about halfway through the song: e|------0-------3-------5-------3---------------5-3 B|1-3-1---1-3-1---1-3-1---1-3-1---1-3-1-5-1-3~~---- G|------------------------------------------------- D|------------------------------------------------- A|------------------------------------------------- E|-------------------------------------------------
