[Verse 1]
Cmaj7 Am9 Em
The markings on your surface
Dmaj7 Cmaj7
Your speckled face
Am9 Em
Flawed crystals hang from your ears
Dmaj7 Cmaj7 Am9
I couldn't gauge your fears
Em Dmaj7 Cmaj7
I can't relate to my peers
Am9 Em
I'd rather live outside
Dmaj7 Cmaj7
I'd rather chip my pride than lose my mind out here
Am9
Maybe I'm a fool
Em Dmaj7
Maybe I should move
Cmaj7
And settle, two kids and a swimming pool
Am9 Em
I'm not brave
Dmaj7 Cmaj7
(brave)
Am9 Em Dmaj7
I'm not brave
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
I'm living over city
Am9 Em Dmaj7
And taking in the homeless sometimes
Cmaj7
Been living in an idea
Am9 Em Dmaj7
An idea from another man's mind
Cmaj9
Maybe I'm a fool
Am9 Em
To settle for a place with some nice views
Dmaj7
Maybe I should move
Cmaj7 Am9
Settle down, two kids and a swimming pool
Em Dmaj7
I'm not brave
Cmaj7
I'd rather live outside
Am9 Em
I'd rather live outside
Dmaj7
I'd rather go to jail
Cmaj7
I've tried hell
Am9
What would you recommend I do?
Em Dmaj7 Cmaj7 Am9
[Interlude]
Em
This is not my life
Dmaj7
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
Cmaj7
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
Am9
This is not my life
Em
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
Dmaj7
It's not what I'm like
Cmaj7 Am9 Em
It's just a fond farewell (brave)

Dmaj7
Speaking of Nirvana, it was there
A Bm
Rare as the feathers on my dash from a phoenix
Em Em/A
There with my crooked teeth and companion sleeping, yeah
Dreaming a thought that could dream about a thought
Em
That could think of the dreamer that thought
Dmaj7
That could think of dreaming and getting a glimmer of God
Em
I be dreaming a dream in a thought
Em/A
That could dream about a thought
Em
That could think of dreaming a dream
Dmaj7 Em
Where I cannot, where I cannot
Em/A
Less morose and more present
Em
Dwell on my gifts for a second
Dmaj7
A moment one solar flare we're consumed
Em Em/A
So why not spend this flammable paper on the film that's my life?
Em
High flights, inhale the vapor, exhale once and think twice
Dmaj7 Em
Eat some shrooms, maybe have a good cry about you
Em/A Em
See some colors, light hang glide off the moon
Dmaj7
(In the dark, in the dark)
[Outro]

I'd do anything for you
