[Intro]
Bb F Bb C F
[Verse]
Bb
I found an old notebook filled up with pictures
F
Found my friends in hospital beds with facial stitches
Bb F
We sat around the table drinking, hoping no one would ever die
Bb
A scribble of an elephant with
F
Why I can't draw and why everyone is evil
Bb F
Written above it in faded black ink
Bb
Heated debate about the legal system
F
Let's have a rally, let's start a revolution
Bb F
Set fires under our feet, do our best not to stamp it out
Bb
And all I can see through the rooftops and the chimneys
F
Is the top of a billboard that reads Love
Bb
And I think it's an advert for nasal spray technology
F
But in our current state it doesn't matter much
[Chorus]
Bb C
And these things are consuming but there's
Bb C
more to me than lack of sleep and anxiety
Bb C
And darling you've befriended dropouts and drifters
Bb C
So why would you expect anything different?
F Am Dm
But this is a summer song and
F Am Dm C
I want you all to sing along
Bb F
It goes da-dadadada-da-da-da-dadadada-da-dadada
B C F
da-dadadadadada-da-dadadada-da-dadadadada-da-oh-oh
[Verse]
B
And a woman with a face that slid right down to the top of her dress
F
told me I'd succeed 'cause I'd been touched by a goddess
B F
If technology's taught me anything it's that writing is much easier than speaking
Bb F
That walking is best done in silence and rooftops are best left leaking
Bb
And as we boarded up the wall where our fists had fell the night before
F
I said "I'm sorry that I shout, I'm not sorry that I don't put out
Bb
I'm sorry I don't understand things unless I find music in them
Bb
And you know that you feel like I left you,
F
but you left me without much of a choice
Bb C
I haven't learnt to draw but at least I've never lost my voice
[Chorus]
Bb C
And these things are consuming but there's
Bb C
more to me than lack of sleep and anxiety
Bb C
And darling you've befriended dropouts and drifters
Bb C
So why would you expect anything different?
F Am Dm
But this is a summer song and
F Am Dm C
I want you all to sing along
Bb F
It goes da-dadadada-da-da-da-dadadada-da-dadada
B C F
da-dadadadadada-da-dadadada-da-dadadadada-da-oh-oh
Bb F
It goes da-dadadada-da-da-da-dadadada-da-dadada
B C F
da-dadadadadada-da-dadadada-da-dadadadada-da-oh-oh
