Intro G D A G D A G D (2x) 

C                                           Am     
Well there are incidents and accidents that you could never save 
   Em                                      G 
if you don't act your shoe size, act your age. 
        C                              Am 
well I play until my fingers hurt and grit my teeth through every word 
     Em                           D 
like I'm the only introvert who wants to seize the day. 

     G                            
And this is not the sound of a thousand switches flipped 
      D                               
and I do not want to live inside this Aronofsky script 
            Am                                    C  
I guess that I could be the next big thing, but that would just be weird 
      Em                                      D 
So I guess I'll play more folk clubs, but I'd have to grow a beard. 

      C        
So I tried to write a singalong, 
       Am      
but we all forgot the words, 
    C                          G 
we all forgot the words, it's true. 
       C               
and I tried to write a singalong, 
       Am       
but we all forgot the words, 
     C                        G 
we all forgot the words, it's true. 

           Am 
well it's shit and you know it, 
but it's life so what can you do? 
G  
  Go home 

             C                          Am 
There are incidents and accidents and that is why they say 
    Em                                       G 
if you can't read the small print, burn the page. 
        C                                Am 
well I sing until my visions blurred to spit the things I overheard 
   Em                             D 
as long as I can play on words I know I'll be okay. 

     G                            
And this is not the sound of a thousand switches flipped 
      D                               
and I do not want to live inside this Aronofsky script 
            Am                                    C  
I guess that I could be the next big thing, but that would just be weird 
      Em                                        D

      C        
So I tried to write a singalong, 
       Am

    C                          G 
we all forgot the words, it's true. 
       C               
and I tried to write a singalong, 
       Am

     C                         G 
we all forgot the words, it's true. 

           Am 
well it's shit and you know it, 
                               Em 
but it's life so what can you do? 
                        G 
and it's there in the night 
C                                                         G 
And it may not be much but at least we're not waiting to die.

This is not the sound of the voices in the night

when you worry about lovers and the day you'll finally die 
          Am                               C 
because eternity's forever and you've got all this time to rest
