Exactly What Nobody Wanted

A F#m Bm D
(x2)


[Verse]
         A                         
You were throwing off sparks of 
  F#m
pure power
        Bm                     D
Sending signals from a mystery tower
           A                       
You didn't bother making sure it 
  F#m
was sinking
         Bm                      
It was a different way of working 
     D
and thinking
         A                         
You were really wild and completely
   F#m
 expressive
    Bm                       
So creative, and intense, and 
   D
obsessive
         A                      
You were practically completely 
F#m
beyond it
             Bm               
And you were exactly just what 
        D
nobody wanted

A F#m Bm D


[Verse]
         A                       
You were conscious and responsive 
     F#m
and present
            Bm                     
You weren't trying to make 
    D
something unpleasant
              A                    
You were just bouncing off of 
            F#m
things that were trashy
           Bm                  
And it was never very tricky or 
 D
flashy
          A                        
You had a vision that was clear and
   F#m
 directed
        Bm                    
And the way the words were all 
     D
unexpected
             A                     
You were unbelievable and you were 
  F#m
undaunted
          Bm                      
You were exactly just what nobody 
D
wanted

[Chorus]
                    A           
But to me it was so awesome, so 
F#m         D
awesome, so awesome.
   A           F#m         
So awesome, so awesome, just 
  D
awesome.

[Verse]
              A                    
It was like a focus in on what had 
     F#m
been brewing
          Bm                       
You did a thing that no one else 
       D
had been doing
              A                    
You were just small to see what 
               F#m
made this or that tick
          Bm                       
Maybe you flipped it over so it all
          D
 seemed galactic
       A                      F#m
It was crazy but you nearly believed
 it
            Bm                     
You gave it everything and lived it
     D
 and breathed it
           A                    
You made a space where all these 
                F#m
good things collided
              Bm                
And it made approximately no one 
   D
excited


[Verse]
             A                     
It's hard to speak about the stuff 
      F#m
you invented
        Bm                     
It was unique in how it all got 
    D
presented
           A                     
It hit the mark and never stopped 
       F#m
going forward
           Bm                  
Out of the darkness and with no 
                D
signs and with no words
            A                
You spoke a language that was 
             F#m
instant and brutal
            Bm                   
And it made all the art around it 
      D
seem futile
           A                       
You did it well and you could even 
  F#m
repeat it
             Bm               
And that was exactly just what 
        D
nobody needed

A F#m D


[Chorus]
                    A           
But to me it was so awesome, so 
F#m         D
awesome, so awesome.
   A           F#m         
So awesome, so awesome, just 
  D
awesome.

[Bridge]
  F#m                   Dm
A long time waiting and leaving
             F#m                 
And that's a good, weird faith to 
   Dm
believe in
  F#m                       Dm
A mirror needs depth and an angle
          F#m
Where the light waves wiggle and 
tangle
       F#m
So if someone else had all your same
 concentration
           Dm
They still couldn't reach the same 
destination

A F#m Bm D


[Verse]
               A                 
There's really something anywhere 
          F#m
you look closely
      Bm                      D
But a lot of it could come or go 
mostly
                   A             
But when something really comes a 
             F#m
way that pretenses
          Bm                       
Something really takes a swing for 
    D
the fences
          A                      
Something really knocks it out of 
     F#m
the borders
       Bm                    D
And rearranges all the usual orders
        A                        
That's exactly what the track you 
      F#m
were on did
              Bm              
And that was exactly just what 
        D
nobody wanted



[Verse]
           A                       
A reserved seat, you fought it and 
  F#m
receded
            Bm                    
You were so perfectly what nobody 
D
needed
              A                    
You pushed as far as you could make
     F#m
 an idea go
      Bm                  D
With exactly an impact of zero
           A                  
And basically the public never 
   F#m
responded
             Bm                   
You were so amazingly what nobody 
D
wanted
          A                        
I held on tight to every scrap that
   F#m
 I took in
           Bm                      
But it all happened when nobody was
 D
 looking



[Chorus]
                    A           
But to me it was so awesome, so 
F#m         D
awesome, so awesome.
            A           F#m    
You were so awesome, so awesome, 
       D
just awesome.
