C F G Am C F G Lying around all goddamn day trying to avoid learning how to live / I'd be making a Lowell Food Not Bombs if I was any good at making friends / could i stop stealing your grass / get up off my bony ass / and remember all the reasons that I'm worth it I strive to empathize / but I just criticize / I seethe and writhe beneath these tepid eyes / So tonight we'll do the twist / play cherry chicken with our wrists / I didn't mean to throw that pbr at your face / But tomorrow's another day / there's all new jams to play / invite friends over hope they don't mind eating trash Sometimes I lie and wonder / if this world is asunder / why put the next step in front of the last / how could anything I do be anything but a drop / But a drop is better than bailing / I'd rather be corny as fuck / earnest as all get out / and vulnerable to my core / than you ironic bores / so together with my neighbors / we'll stand and live for each other / power's only as strong as we allow / Take them down / pass them around / 99 ballots of bozos

Gm F Am / Gm F C / Gm F Cm / Gm C Dm In for testing again / No one could seem to solve my riddle of pain / “you’re young, you should just get better” / filled me with great disdain / Strapped a gauge onto my arm / that blood pressure looked a little high / the nurse asked "are you anxious?" / i said no and that that was a lie / cause in my mind i said always / I'm terrified of talking to you / constantly disappointed / by what you accept as the truth / now I don't have all the answers / in fact I'm certain that I'm wrong / but I don't know how to admit these things / i guess that's why there's this song

I never met my uncle Doug because when he was a senior at the University of Buffalo he self-immolated in a field. It really rocked my dad's family, and over 35 years later I remain the only person who's gone through his old things. I found a lot in his writings and book collection that I identified with, from feelings of isolation to his passion for science, philosophy, and justice. His copy of "Civil Disobedience" was heavily noted and the first time I read Thoreau. He wrote a lot of poems on his typewriter, so I put this one to music. G D C Em Em C F G The world is but a pretty place To let my passions sound Its doors are open every night To let good loves abound The senses are the passions stuff Make the night the day And make mere time a simpleton Which flows and fades away The mind is not a writ of good For those that not need thoughts Which rob the senses of their zest With goods and shoulds and oughts A life is ones own masterpiece Whose meaning one knows naught To sell the fivefold diadem Makes death a nearby lot A tangible's a thing to touch A sight's a thing to see The bell's a ringing to be heard The soul's a thing to free The lilac makes the soul awake At such a central point As brings a near thing nearer still Until its core anoint To taste of life's a thing much spoke In our world of Philistines To try to is the whim of whims To do so dream of dreams

A E F#m D / A E Bm D There are things that don't go well together Like patriarchy and monogamy, my bare feet and your broken glass And im tired of trying to repair shoes with tape Cause gravel and scotch are like Harry and snape But worst of all, is when I slip and fall And the world just stays where it is Cause alcohol, sadness, and cigarettes don't mix well with my skin It bubbles and boils, troubles and spoils all of the progress I've made tearing and searing, stabbing and scabbing, a grim constellation of scars Tombstones for feels made with butts I did steal at least they remind me in time wounds can heal Power and people are a bad combination Corrupting, obstructing, a world of exploitation I won't be a slave to your wage But what do I do, when I've got no dog food When my clothes fall apart, the car just won't start and someone's gotta bail you out Despite my best efforts this heart keeps on raging, gonna do my damnedest to change So if you and me and these apple trees Can get along, there just might be hope

D Em Am D It's getting harder to Not be a [dick] to you I hope you know I'm sorry too Cause you don't deserve that It's getting harder to not take a swig with you Cause drinking's all I wanna do and everyone is doing it A C G Though it's getting harder every day Em Am D People tell me I will be ok My boyfriend he smokes a of cigarettes He's really hot though I'd say his lungs are not I think we'll be ok Now I started smoking too I think it's a pretty good substitute For drinking bottles if absolut On Wednesday afternoons Though sometimes it's true I miss those days I cannot say that I miss the taste Am D Em D All my friends are alcoholics They'll tell you that they're not sad All my friends are alcoholics They play it off like it's not so bad

C Am C / C F C / D F C I planted flowers and trimmed the grass around your grave today but it's no use you packed your bags when you got here and you're not coming home you're not coming home anytime soon and I called your name to the black blue sky at midnight but the stars and still moon didn't say anything so I'll just let it be the stars were never made to take your place And I would love to carry your world but I can barely lift my own heart today So I'll pack up all your things from that quiet house we thought we made And I guess it's all ok your hands never fit quite right in mine anyway I suppose I don't smile anymore cause worry came in and took its place And I think I forgot what I look like I'm too busy trying to remember your face And I know I dug your grave but I'd really like it if you would just stay with me And I know I pushed you away but I'd really like it for you to stay And I know I dug your grave but I'd really like it if you would just stay
