Chords

The only time this chord progression changes is before the last verse and at the end of the song. That part is just F and C back and forth. As for the rest: G F C the whole way down
     G                                       F
Ten thousand words swarm around my head

      C
Ten million more in books written beneath my bed

    G                      F                  C
I wrote or read them all when searchin' in the swarms

     C
Still can't find out how to hold my hands

     G                            F
And I know you need me in the next room over

    C
But I am stuck in here all paralyzed

  G              F            C
For months I got myself in ruts

     C
Too much time spent in mirrors framed in yellow walls

  G                                      F
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different

  C
We love to talk on things we don't know about

  G                      F                C
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different

  C
We love to talk on things we don't know about

  G                                   F
And everyone around me shakes their head in disbelief

    C
And says I'm too caught up

  G              F                  C
They say young is good and old is fine

  C
And truth is cool but all that matters

  G           F               C
Is that you have your good times

  G                            F
But their good times come with prices

    C
And I can't believe it when I hear the jokes they make

   G             F              C
At anyone's expese except their own

  C
Would they laugh if they knew who paid?

    G                           F
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different

  C
We love to talk on things we don't know about

    G             F                     C
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different

  C
We love to talk on things we don't know about

  G                            F
And after we are through ten years

    C
Of making it to be the most of glorious debuts

 G              F                 C
I'll come back home without my things

   C
'Cause the clothes I wore out there I will not wear 'round you

  G                  F                         C
And they'll be quick to point out our shortcomings

   C                                      G
And how the experts all have had their doubts

  G                  F                  C
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different

   C                                 G
We love to talk on things we don't know about
