Mercurial

D                   A        D
Long, I’ve slept in way too long
               A    D
It’s almost night again
              A        D       A
Missed calls from my friends
D                  A      D
If the grand plans in my head
                 A     D
Were in front of me instead
             A        D
I’d rocket from this bed

               G              Em
Even though I know I should awake
                    Bm                 D
I feel like I could die and that’d be ok
             G               Em
No one ever asks to be grown up
                 Bm              D
we just have to go with what we got

              G         Em
Something is wrong
              Bm                               A
I feel it beneath all this sloth, haze, and lethargy
               G        Em         D
Something is wrong

D                  A       D
Long, I’ve waited far too long
         A     D
Where do I begin?
           A      D
It’s hard remembering
            A       D
Am I, I completely through
               A     D
Or is my heart just bruised
             A        D
And feeling worn and used?

                 G            Em
I’ve been being lazy far too long
                  Bm                 D
Drinking things I know are way too strong
                   G              Em
It’s funny how we try to act grown up
                  Bm                D
dinner dates and late night liquor stops

                  G         Em
I’ve never been strong
                Bm                              A
I seem to have dry bones where there should be solid steel
                    G        Em
My day dreams were long
                     Bm                       A
they wrapped around poems, arrangements, and melodies


A                      Em
I lack the passion to conquer, honey
    Bm                         A
so maybe I’ll just be who I’ve been
G  A                Em                 Bm                       A
I’ll look on to the day I’ll look back, wishing I could be here again
G  A               Em          Bm                      A
We all want to be patient zero, catalyst to decades of change
G  A              Em               Bm                    A
But the culture of young dumb money only gets me feeling estranged

                    G             Em
There are days when everything is wrong
              Bm             D
I’ve procrastinated far too long
              G               Em
Even when I’m drowsy I can’t sleep
                      Bm               D
Like someone doesn’t want me to have dreams

               G         Em
Something is wrong
               Bm                        A
I’m trying so hard just to keep a good grip on things
                   G         Em
I’ve never been strong
                  Bm                          A
Oh lord will you be all the strength and the wits I need?

G                    Em
Everything I want is here
Bm                    A
Everything I want is here
G                    Em
Everything I want is here
Bm                    A
Everything I want is here
