Why I Cant Draw

Bb F Bb C F

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

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

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

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
