[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][Am][C]
[Am][Dm]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[C]Everyone's
a tankie 'til their first fat check
And [Am]everyone's an in[Em]cel until
they [Am]go and get it
Now you [Dm]love your circle,
you love your home
[G]No one in this life really makes it alone
It was [C]easy in the pits to sling hot takes
It was [Am]easy to decide that
it was all a waste
Then [Dm]you fucked around,
you found your spirit
Now [G]you're talking like a zealot,
and they don't wanna hear it

[Verse 2]
Oh, [C]I rememb[Am]er 1[Dm]6 years old[G]
When the fu[C]ture was a suf[Am]fer
farm [Dm]for human [G]souls
And [F]the black pits stretched for
[G]forever before me
[F]The creatures on the internet,
they [G]para- adored me
Now [C]the zeitgeist

[Verse 3]
wants a nihilist,
and [Am]I'm a flop
'Cause [Dm]death isn't a threat,
it's [G]the cherry on top
[C]Maybe I just ended up [Am]a little too goth
May[Dm]be my death drive
gave [G]up and got lost
[C]Take me to [Am]the grey space that
[Dm]lines the cloud[G]s
[F]I'll cry until [G]it glitters,
then [Dm]I'll ride the storm [G]down
[F]Lighting [G]hands at the [Dm]end
of the [G]world
[F]The loudest thunder,
the most [G]beautiful girl

[Verse 4]
[C]How could I be [Am]angry at
[Dm]the funniest [G]joke?
[C]Lucky just to [Am]be here,
[Dm]clear and [G]afloat
[F]Standing at the center of
[G]the fractal design
Watch[Dm]ing stupid bullshit
sud[G]denly become divine
[C][Am]

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][G][C][Am][Dm][G]
[C][Am][Dm][G][C][Am]
[Dm][C][G]

[Verse 5]
[C]Blame it on the money, blame it on drugs
[Am]Blame it on the stars that
taught a robot to love
It's [Dm]easy to be rad[F]ical [Dm]all on your [F]own
But it [C]all [Em]gets messy when
there's [G]someone at home

[Verse 6]
The [C]roots grow slowly,
then they're suddenly there
And you [Am]wake up in a decade
and find out that you care
It's [Dm]hard [F]fucking work being
part of a fabric
And the [G]only thing it gets you
is unlimited magic

[Verse 7]
[C]So maybe you don't [Am]care
about [Dm]being [G]cool[Dm]
[G]May[C]be that's just som[Am]ething
that you [Dm]leave back [G]in school
Back with [F]all [G]the backpack
[Dm]s, slung on [G]one shoulder
Where the [F]hottest thing to do
is just to [G]never get older

[Verse 8]
Tell [C]me that I'm closing in against the wall
I'll nev[Am]er be young
again or skinny or tall
And this [Dm]cream and that cream
will fill in my lines
[G]Aging gets you nothing but
the gruesome divine

[Verse 9]
[C]Aging gets you nothing but
a new song to sing
[Am]Your place among the
family of things
[Dm]A method for thought,
food for the spirit
[G]A chance to exist at a brand- new tier, well

[Verse 10]
[C]I rememb[Am]er 1[Dm]6 years old[G]
When the [C]fu ture was [Am]a suffer
farm for [Dm]human [G]souls
And the black [F]pits [G]stretched
for [Dm]forever [G]before me
The creatures on the internet
they para- ad[C]ored me
[G]Now the zeit

[Verse 11]
[C]geist wants a nihilist,
and I'm a flop
'Cause [Am]death isn't a threat,
it's the cherry on top
[Dm]Maybe I just ended up a little too goth
May[G]be my death drive
gave up and got lost
[C]Take me to the grey space
that lines the clouds
[Am]I'll cry until it glitters,
then I'll ride the storm down
[Dm]Lighting hands at the end
of the world
[G]The loudest thunder, the most beautiful girl

[Interlude 2]
[C][Am][Dm][G]
[C][Am][Dm][G][C][Am][Dm]
[G][C][Am][Dm][G]

[Verse 12]
[C]A circle and a spiral and
a slice of the sky
[Am]A building and a river and
a raspberry pie
[Dm]I sketch them in the dreamscape and
bring them to you
[Em]All the little models of what
[G]we're going through

[Verse 13]
If you [C]only knew then what
you think you know now
But then [Am]how could you possibly
have figured it out
[Dm]How could I have told her what
I know? I don't know
[G]How could I have shown her

[Verse 14]
where we do and don't go?
[C]Life both does and doesn't go on
[Am]Every precious creature does
and doesn't belong
So with [Dm]every step everything changes
And you're [G]bored, and you're horrified,

[Verse 15]
and you're fucking amazed, well
[C]I rememb[Am]er 1[Dm]6 years old[G]
When the fu[C]ture was a suf[Am]fer
farm [Dm]for human [G]souls
And [F]the black pits stretched for
[G]forever before me
[Dm]The creatures on the internet
they [G]para- adored me

[Verse 16]
Now the zeit[C]geist wants a [Am]ni hilist,
and [Dm]I'm a prob[G]lem
'Cause [C]aging is a [Am]gift that
[Dm]I cherish and hon[G]or
[F]Maybe [G]I just ended
up a little too goth
May[F]be by that I mean
[G]sharp and yet soft
[C]Take me to the grey space
that lines the clouds
I'll [Am]cry until it glitters,
then I'll ride the storm down
[Dm]Lighting hands at the end of the world
The [G]loudest thunder,
the most beautiful girl

[Verse 17]
[C]How could I be angry at
the funniest joke?
[Am]Lucky just to be here, clear and afloat
[Dm]Standing in the center of
the fractal design
Watch[G]ing stupid bullshit become divine
