G#mi7 Bsus2
Who wants a genius anyway
G#mi7 Bsus2
Who worries if he’s had enough sleep?
G#mi7 Bsus2
I’d take the bad news any day
Ama G#mi F#ma
If it meant you were mine to keep
G#mi7 Bsus2
Sweet is the certified nervous wreck
G#mi7 Bsus2
Who now and then likes to appear
G#mi7 Bsus2
To lecture the night and the empty space
Ama G#mi F#ma
And sleep in the cradle of my ear
Gma F#mi7
A few pills a day keeps the anger away
Bma
“The people can go,” he says, “the furniture stays”
Gma F#mi7 Bma
Trying to find a warm place to hide
Dma Ema Bma
Maybe born before your time
Dma Ema Bma
How unfair to our human eyes
Dma Ema Bma
How I wish you were alright
Gma7 Ama
‘Cause I worry…
Hello to the ghost of the eighty-eight
My favourite Canadian mess
Remembered the sound of the galaxy
And came here expecting no less
How many nights did you lock up inside of that
Terrible lonely streak and those beautiful eyes
Trying to find a warm place to hide
Maybe born before your time
How unfair to our human eyes
How I wish you were alright
‘Cause I worry about you
