Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Som[A]e o[D]f u[A]s t[D]hin[A]k[D][A][D]
seldom in the night
Of god[A]damn horses,
[D]and god[A]damn wires
[G]It's [D]in one [Bb]ear
[Gm]And never se[D]es the other side
Unsteadiness belies
your tender years
With real [A]world [D]problems,
and [A]real world fears
[Bb]Be y[A]oung[D]
Im[A]bibe [D]to night
Like you're [A]a work of fic
[G]tion
[D][A][D][A][D]

[Verse 2]
[A]
[D]So simmer down,
we'll brave the shitty light
Like proto-people with
with cro-magnon hands
hands
And [Gm]stones [D]for knives, [Bb]and l[A]ions i[D]n our pants
I could tell you all my thoughts
on God
Don't mind his portraits,
but I hate his psalms
[Gm]Were I [D]a pious [Gm]knob[Em][D]
I know [A]I'd try and [G]listen

[Verse 3]
Oh, [D]rest [F#m]assure[Bm]d
[Esus4]Oh,[Em][G]
there are [D]harder ways [Em]to roam[G]
Oh, when [F#m]you're tired [D]just let [Em]me know[G]
Oh, we're not in [D]Kansas
anymore
[A][D]

[Verse 4]
You know it's not a stretch
for me to say
We're strange young hermits
In a strange new place
And [G]through the years
I hope it stays [D]the same
The bed is warm,
but don't believe the hype
And throw boring parties, live boring lives
In say[Gm]ing this
I feared [D]enough to try
And swal[F#m]lowed line [G]and sinker

[Verse 5]
[G]Oh, [F#m]rest assured
[D]Oh, [Esus4]there[Em][G]
[D]are harder ways to go
[F#m]Oh, wh[Em]en y[G]ou're tired[F#m]
just let [D]me know[Em][G]
Oh, we're not in [D]Kansas anymore

[Interlude 1]
[Em]
[D][A][G][Gm][D]

[Verse 6]
Some of us [D]sleep seldom
in the night
We're goddamn mortals,
with no goddamn time
And in say[G]ing this
Don't pay it any [D]mind
[G]

[Verse 7]
[F#m]
[D]Oh, rest assured
[Esus4]Oh, there[D] ar[Em]e ha[G]rder[F#m]
ways [D]to go[Em][G]
Oh, when you're tired [F#m]just
let me [D]know[Em][G]
Oh, we're not in [D]Kansas anymore
