[Verse 1]
C#m
Has it come to this?
C#m
We're stuck in the weeds
C#m
I get it, I'm not perfect
C#m
I was never trying to be
C#m
But I'm not long for this earth
C#m B
If we really only ever get one chance to burn
B C#m
I gotta trip before I can see the finish
C#m B
How else would I learn?
B E
I wanna know, how is it you do it?
[Chorus]
B C#m
When you land on your feet
A E
You're a nimble bastard
B C#m
And you don't skip a beat
A
Such a nimble bastard
E B C#m
Salt of the earth
G#m A
You're a nimble bastard
E B
Won't you show, lowly us
C#m A C#m
How do you see the stars from that far down? (Hah aah...)
[Verse 2]
C#m
I swing and I miss
C#m
And then come the creeps
B
It makes me want to faint
B C#m
I wanna know, how is it you do it? (Hah aah...)
C#m B
How do you spill the paint?
B E
And then fit it into a frame?
[Chorus]
B C#m
When you land on your feet
A E
You're a nimble bastard
B C#m
And you don't skip a beat
A
Such a nimble bastard
E B C#m
Salt of the earth
G#m A
You're a nimble bastard
E B
Won't you show, lowly us
C#m A
How do you see the stars from that far down?
