C Fmaj7
Sometimes I wanna get up here and sing a bunch of nonsense
C Fmaj7
But I know my voice ain’t good enough for bad lyrics
C
This is the first song, this is the moment of truth
Fmaj7
If this one fails, what good will the rest of them do
C
I’m trying to stay focused and stay in the moment
Fmaj7
All I can think about is if my fly is open
C
I swore I checked it before I went on
Fmaj7
Maybe that was last night I just can’t recall
C
I’d ask you to check for me but that’s askin’ a lot
Fmaj7
I’m just gonna check real quick, then I’ll move on
[Chorus]
C G
Oh, You’re doin it wrong
C Fmaj7
Dissecting the bird trying to find a song
C Fmaj7 G F
It’s a miracle that you’re here at all
C Fmaj7
[Harmonica]
[Verse 2]
C
I don’t trust a musician who’s always complaining
Fmaj7
It’s hard out here but so is everything
C
You know what my job was before I did this?
Fmaj7
I used to walk around parking lots picking up trash
C
Do you know how many people paid to watch me do that?
Fmaj7
Zero, Always zero
C
My draw was zero for the trash pickup job
Fmaj7
So even if no one comes to this one, they still let me play guitar
C
I don’t trust a musician who’s always complaining
Fmaj7
Sometimes it’s clear some times it’s raining
C
Sometimes it’s the Gorge sometimes it’s the garage
Fmaj7
Get over yourself and do your god damn job
[Chorus]
C G
Oh, You’re doin it wrong
C Fmaj7
Dissecting the bird trying to find a song
C Fmaj7 G F
It’s a miracle that you’re here at all

[Verse 3]
C
So when the candle flickers, when the days get dark
Fmaj7
They call them first world problems, but they still break your heart
C
When the universe feels like it’s against you
Fmaj7
Just take a minute to realize all it took to make you
C
Your parents had to meet - as random as that was
Fmaj7
And hang out long enough at least to make some love
C
And make a baby and give it your name
Fmaj7
And all of your ancestors had to do the same
C
Exponentially backwards to the start of life
Fmaj7
So much had to happen just exactly right
C
Sparks had to catch
Oceans had to freeze
Fmaj7
Billions of cells had to survive endless disease
C
Civilizations had to crumble wars had to be fought
Fmaj7
Bad presidents had to get elected
Good presidents had to get shot
C
People had to lead
Hearts had to get broken.
Fmaj7
People had to die so your eyes could open
C
The universe is not against you
Fmaj7
The universe is not against you
C
It went through a lot just to give you a chance
Fmaj7
It must have wanted you pretty bad
C
No pressure though, no pressure though
Fmaj7
The universe went through a lot but no pressure bro
C
You don’t gotta be perfect
You don’t gotta be a saint
Fmaj7
Just don’t waste it - This was not a mistake
[Chorus]
C G
Oh, You’re doin it wrong
C Fmaj7
Dissecting the bird trying to find a song
C Fmaj7 G Fmaj7
It’s a miracle that you’re here at all
C Fmaj7
