[INTRO]
[Em] [G] [D] [C] [C] [G] [D] [D]
[VERSE]
[Em]Step 1: You w[C]rite a simple chorus. Don't you [G]bore us with an intro or a [D]clever little verse
[Em]Step 2: st[C]op pretending there’s some kinda of f[G]ormula for making it, I've [D]never been so sure
[Em]Only time will [C]tell me if I'm something, if I'm curs[G]ed or if I'm cunning, if I'm [D]talented or stale
[Em]‘Cause every song is an att[C]empt to just impress you, it’s an edu[G]cated guess to light a bulb[D] or ring a bell
[CHORUS]
[Em]And here I [G]am as I cut [D]corners on a left turn up a [C]sentimental street
[Em]And all I d[G]o I do to ma[D]ke my parents proud of who I[C] am or who I'm 'bout to be
[Em]Yeah, here [G]I am gotta h[D]and it to me, I [C]can write a tune
[Em]I guess [G]success just still dep[C]ends on [D]who I'm [C]singing [Em]to
[BRIDGE]
[Em] [G] [D] [C] [C] [G] [D] [D]
[VERSE]
[Em]Been working hard, feeling tense, [C]worrying about my fashion sense
Since when [G]do I give up an inch to i[D]ncidental tackiness?
[Em]I'm disoriented, so distra[C]cted from my bit
But should I f[G]ight to force the issue when I'm [D]out of lubricant
[Em]To help this? To help my words com[C]e easy, to help to ease the heat we
G[G]enerate from friction wishin' ins[D]piration wouldn't treat me
[Em]Like I'm a leper build me r[C]ight up to the edge
Of a legend[G] just to pull back leaving [D]fame inside my head
[Em]I'm at an open mic, fe[C]eling like that token guy
"Pl[G]ease buy My CDs it’s worth [D]10 dollars but I'll take a five"
[Em]There’s so much talent balanced on[C] a rusty knife
Can I compe[G]te with guys who have been playing th[D]eir entire lives?
[Em]For I am tied to my mind my man[C]ners and my language
‘Cause "hec[G]k”’s the only exclamation[D] I can get away with
[Em]‘Cause my grandma’s gonna listen to this an[C]d I still refuse
To sw[G]ay her sweet opinion of me o[D]r lose her approval
[Em]But it'd be nice to emphasise the [C]weight of what I say
Tell me whi[G]ch one will convince you [D]that I'm finally okay; I'm Okay or I'm Goddamn Okay?
[CHORUS]
[Em]And here I [G]am as I cut [D]corners on a left turn up a [C]sentimental street
[Em]And all I d[G]o I do to ma[D]ke my parents proud of who I[C] am or who I'm 'bout to be
[Em]Yeah, here [G]I am gotta h[D]and it to me, I [C]can write a tune
[Em]I guess [G]success just still dep[C]ends on [D]who I'm [C]singing [Em]to
[BRIDGE]
[Em] [G] [D] [C] [C] [G] [D] [D]
[VERSE]
[Em]I'm not a gambler but I [C]bet you're esoteric
Tearing [G]down these local artists as too [D]poppy or generic
[Em]It's apparent you regard your judgement [C]in such high esteem
But it's as [G]welcome as Americans as tour[D]ists overseas I'm seeing
[Em]I'm seeing people asking[C] where they go to find my stuff
And yeah[G] I'm up on iTunes next to e[D]very band with 30 bucks
[Em]A dozen albums sold, to [C]me it’s like a treasure
But I gu[G]ess I'm far from Guinness I'm not [D]setting any records
[Em]I'm making Indie music that may n[C]ever top the charts
But like the g[G]reatest chefs’ll tell you my fan[D]base is getting larger
[Em]I'm half a hermit introv[C]erted if I'm honest
The fact[G] I'm here's a testament to how b[D]adly I want it
[Em]‘Cause I I've no aversion to sea[C]rching, to look and wonder
Or to tr[G]y out different styles or to lea[D]ve my zone of comfort
[Em]‘cause I can flirt with burning candles but they'll e[C]ither all extinguish
Or they'[G]ll blacken all my fingers ‘til I[D] lose all sense of feeling I like
[Em]I like my girls like I l[C]ike my schedule: Hectic
I like b[G]eauty, smarts and talent but that [D]order’s alphabetic
[Em]I'm a sucker for an independent [C]girl who needs her space
Because [G]I used to cling like static back[D] when I was a teenager
[Em]I may never recapture th[C]e happiness of that first love
'cause I[G] was unaware of what a heartache[D] really was
[Em]So now I guard a little harder [C]lusting for a crush
And I ca[G]n see it’s so unhealthy when it [D]bubbles up at once
[Em]I'm not breaking any ground I think this[C] problem's pretty ancient
It’s the[G] fabric of a classic passed down[D] every generation
[Em]So to summarise this song for all the[C] people that've been watching this;
Fin[G]d another artist if you [D]don't like stream of consciousness
[BRIDGE]
[Em] [G] [D] [C]
