Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I believe the lyrics and music were both written by Heather Anne Campbell and the performance was by Liz Beebe from The Dustbowl Revival, so I credited it to Heather Anne Campbell because... it's evidently her song. This was made into a short for Fox's ADHD and is great, go watch it.
[Intro] C x4
[Verse] C We’re all the same No matter how we’ve grown G Colors of our skin Defections in our bones
There's one thing we share Everyone everywhere C We're all alone GC We're all alone.
[Chorus] CG Everyone is fundamentally lonely AmEm Whether you trust science or a church F Because we’re scared C Some of us make pairs DG And some are still on the search
CG But everyone is fundamentally lonely AmEm So here’s daily advice F You’re in pain C And everyone feels the same DGC So just be ..... nice.
C
[Verse] C What do you lose When life’s already the worst G Leave a better tip Let that guy in line first
We’re all lonely Pay for his coffee C (hold) Pick up that trash (hold) GC I know it’s not your trash.
C
[Chorus] CG Everyone is fundamentally lonely AmEm Sometimes it comes out as rage F Screaming in a store C They’re lonely at the core DG So be calm when you engage
CG Everyone is fundamentally lonely AmEm I’m not saying to sacrifice F Lend some support C At the airport DGC It won’t kill you to be nice.
C
[Bridge] F Everything is stupid C Success is a projection D We’re all quietly helpless G (hold) Being nice is a connection
F Blaring your car horn C Won’t make you feel tremendous D But picking up something someone dropped G (hold) Will make this whole thing less horrendous
[Chorus] CG Everyone is fundamentally lonely AmEm Even ones pretending they’re not F Be nice today D * A7* It’ll make things just slightly ok C(hold) G(hold) C(arpeggio) On this lonely, little blue dot.
* I don't think these are completely right but I can't figure out what chords they're supposed to be. It's a key change or something and I'm not great at that sort of thing. Let me know if you figure it out and I'll edit it promptly.
