                                                D
You keep selling me something you don't need to prove


[Chorus]
    C          G        Em            D
And if I don't like it, I'll move to Iowa
       C           G           B7
‘cause I've got no problem with places unseen
         C              G              Em             D
it's the ones that I've loved like the curve of your collar bone
C             G               Em             D
careful, now, careful or they don't let you leave
C             G               Em             D
careful, now, careful or they don't let you leave


[Verse 2]
   C             G               Em       D
it keeps getting better but some days it feels worse
        C            G         B7
I don't know what to conquer to determine my worth
Continues after the ad
      C            G          Em              D
I try roadways and I mark the map where I've been

                                          D
in my doorway but I always come back here again



[Chorus]
         C          G        Em           D
singing: if I don't like it, I'll move to Iowa
       C           G            B7
‘cause I've got no problem with places unseen
         C         G                Em        D
it's the ones that I've lost like a New York apartment
         C          G               Em          D
you walked down the staircase still looking at me
         C          Em
you walked down the staircase
    D        Em
and I let you leave
          D
I let you leave


[Bridge]
  C                G          Em             D
I don't think they notice how lonesome I've gotten
  C           G          B7
I learn about fashion to dress up my self-loathing
           C             G             Em          D
but in the morning how I wake up and I give it my best
      C          G            Em      D
to be honest and kind and try not to regress
           C             G         Em          D
besides, I know that the solace in sadness is talk
        C          G          B7
whether singing or sobbing or swearing it off
     C            G            Em          D
so I keep my eyes open, keep a hand on my heart
        C              G                  Em        D
say I'm bold brave and forthright, and it isn't my fault
        C            G
no it's not (my fault)
        C            D
no it's not (my fault)


[Chorus]
    C          G       Em           D
and if I don't like it I'll move to Iowa
       C           G            B7
‘cause I've got no problem with places unseen
         C              G            Em        D
it's the ones that I've known like a cold city winter
C           G             Em          D
blow like a blizzard (the wind in the trees)
C           G         Em        D
blow like a blizzard (me and my needs)
C                         D                 Em
blow like a blizzard and please, pass over me
D
pass over me
