G Em
But anyways, before I leave I wanted to say,
Am C
'look where you please but you will not find a better friend than yourself.'
G Em
Nowadays, it's fairly apparent, I suffer from severe disenchantment.
Am C [fill]
I've made my bed with a nice pillow and no truth.
[Tempo change]
G Em
But really it's ok. Call me tomorrow.
Am C D
Put it into perspective and there's no one to blame.
G Em
It's just one of those sins that comes with the moment.
Am C D
It's out of our hands and over our heads, and that's great...
Em C
But where is the comfort? And what is the sure thing?
G D
Now home is a luxury, I crawl up and sink in my love.
Em C
See, heaven's a let-down and god is exhausting.
G D
Us pseudo-intellectuals say this is why we need our vices.
|G |Em |Am |C D|
[During which kazoo plays]
doot doot.
G Em
We're doomed to be always in love with the fragile things,
Am C D
chronically low on my gas and batteries while I'm battling the itch to be great.
G Em
So this is the comfort, and this is the heart ache.
Am C D
Lesson learned as animals, everything else seems arbitrary.
