Why I Cant Draw

C G

C
I found an old notebook filled up with pictures
G
Found my friends in hospital beds with facial stitches
C                                                          G
We sat around the table drinking hoping no one would ever die
C
A scribble of an elephant with
G
Why I can't draw and why everyone is evil
C                                   G
Written above it in faded black ink
C
Heated debate about the legal system
G
Let's have a rally, let's start a revolution
C                                                       G
Set fire under our feet and do our best not to stamp it out
C
And all I can see through the rooftops and the chimneys
G
Is the top of a billboard that reads "love"
C                                                                                               G
And I think it's an advert for nasal spray technology but in my current state it doesn't matter much

C                    D                     C                       D
And these things are consuming but there's more to me than lack of sleep and anxiety
C                             D                        C                      D
And darling you've befriended drop-outs and drifters, so why would you expect anything different?
G             F#m    Em          G        F#m         Em     D
But this is a summer song, and I want you all to sing along

C
It goes da dada dada da da da dadada
G
Da dada dada da da da dadada
C               D          G
Da dada dada da woah-oh-oh-oh

C
And a woman with a face that slid right down to the top of her dress
G
Told me I'd succeed because I'd been touched by a goddess
C                                                                      G
If society's taught me anything it's that writing is much easier than speaking
C
That walking is best done in silence
G
And rooftops are best left leaking
C
And as we boarded up the walls where our fists had fell the night before
             G
I said, "I'm sorry that I shout, I'm not sorry but I don't put out
C                                                 G
I'm sorry I don't understand things unless I find music in them."
C                                             G
And I know that you feel like I left you, but you left me without much of a choice
C                                          G
I haven't learnt to draw but at least I've never lost my voice

C                D                     C                       D
These things are consuming but there's more to me than lack of sleep and anxiety
C                             D                        C                      D
And darling you've befriended drop-outs and drifters, so why would you expect anything different?
G             F#m    Em          G        F#m         Em     D
But this is a summer song, and I want you all to sing along

C
It goes da dada dada da da da dadada
G
Da dada dada da da da dadada
C               D          G
Da dada dada da woah-oh-oh-oh
C
Da dada dada da da da dadada
G
Da dada dada da da da dadada
C               D          G
Da dada dada da woah-oh-oh-oh
