This Body

A5 A5/C# A5/B A5


[Verse 1]
      A5                A5/C#
This body, that's only done me wrong
             A5/B                         A5
That always proved weak when I needed it strong

           A5                   A5/C#
That lays down to rest, when I need to run
        A5/B               A5
That refuses to go just on
                 C5                 B5             A5
This body whose neck and shoulders are steady as thread


[Verse 2]
      A                A/C#
This body, that's only let me down
       A/B                          A
Whose head was always turned up to ten
             A                A/C#
That wasn't chosen, to be on anyone's team
            A/B                        A
Was picked last and never fought hard enough
            C5                           B5               A
It finally spoke out, said: "We need to see what this is about"

[Verse 3]
     A                 A/C#
Oh, body, how I have wished of you
                  A/B               A
That you'd look different than you do
     A              A/C#
I'm sorry, I feel apologetic
          A/B            A
You had better things to do
             C5                  B5
You had an agenda, and I never saw that
                  C5                              B5
You're growing a kid now, it's sprouting like hell now
              A
I'm suddenly dirt

[Outro verse]
           A
It's like finding a hidden door
        A
In the house you always lived in
        A
With a secret room, and it holds diamonds and pearls
          A                   A/C#
You're a rock and you're the sea
           A/B                 A
You're the fox and you're the hunter
            A                   A/C#
You're not less and you're not more than
      A/B             A
anything
             A              A/C#
You're your mother and your father
             A/B                A
You're their mothers and their fathers
           A                     A/C#
Let your shoulders down, you're not going to
 A/B          A
war
