I Am A Thoughtful Guy

Am                       F
I am a thoughtful guy; I think about
 a lot of things
Em                     G
I am a thoughtful guy;  I think a 
lot of thoughts about a lot of 
things

[Verse 1]
  Am
I think about space and the vastness
 of it
  F
I think about cake and how much I 
love it
  Em
I think about if Wal-Mart is good or
 evil
  G
I think tattoos are cool... on other
 people
  Am
I think about the unexplored depths 
of the ocean
  F
I think about the difference in 
ointment and lotion
  Em
I think about if I should wax my 
back
  G
I think a handful of nuts is healthy
 snack

[Interlude]
Am
I am a thoughtful guy
      F
Right now I'm thinking about the 
millions of microorganisms living on
 my body
     Em
It's like I'm a mothership
G x2
A 100% male mothership

[Verse 2]
  Am
I think about how I could get on the
 local news
     F
If I strolled into a McDonalds and 
stripped down nude
  Em
I think about a hotdog while I'm 
eating it
    G
But then I pause, 'cause I'm 
thinking about its ingredients
  Am
I think about the first guy who ever
 shaved
    F
And how many times did he shave 
before the second guy caved?
  Em                          
I think about if a friend were 
                 G
choking on ice

"Just be patient" would the best 
advice
  Am                               
I think about that moment when I'm 
                      F
drifting off to sleep

And then my body jerks like I'm 
falling suddenly
  Em
I wonder if that's a defense 
mechanism for something

                 G
Like when you're sleeping on a 
cliff, or just top-bunking?
    Am
Sometimes I think how old guys like 
to whittle
    F
And how if I start now and just 
whittle a little
             Em
My whittling skills will hone before
 I get old
         G
And I'll pwn all my friends at the 
retirement home
  Am
I think of all the places that a 
penny has been
      F
Like, seriously, think of all the 
places that a penny's been in
   Em
It could've been in the pocket of 
the President's suit
         G
But it's probably also been in some 
toddler's poop
       Am
'cause little kids eat pennies like 
they're Flintstone Vitamins
  F
Accruing no interest while traveling
 inside of 'em
   Em
Re-entering circulation might boost 
the economy
        G
But I'd rather not pay with a penny 
that's performed a colonoscopy
  Am
I think that our universe is really 
one of many
     F
With many parallel me's stretching 
to infinity
Em
Doing activities similarly to me
G
Yet, at the same time, done slightly
 differently
    Am                             
And seemingly, right now, they 
     F
could be

Thinking this same thought as me
        Em                         
Well, a similar thought, but not 
                      G G
the same thought exactly
nc
That's pretty deep

[Interlude]
Am
I am a thoughtful guy
      F
Right now, I'm thinkin about the 
people who invented words
    Em
Did they just look at stuff and say 
the first thing that came to their 
mind?
    G  G   nc
And if so, how do you explain duffel
 bag?

[Verse 3]
Am                                
I think how do I know that you and
    F
 me

See the same colors the same way 
when you and me see?
      Em                           
Is my red blue for you, or my green
                  G
 your green, too?

Could it be true we see differing 
hues?
           Am                   
And say we do; then how would we 
                     F
discover this fact?

And even if we did, would there even
 be any impact?
        Em
I don't think this would affect us 
personally
      G
But I think it would have ripple 
effects through the interior design 
industry
  Am
I think about if I was turned into 
an ant
            F
I'd want my loved ones to know, so I
 thought of a plan
           Em
I'd gather twigs and leaves and 
write my name on the ground
         G
Then I'd wait for my family and 
friends to crowd around
    Am
But now I'm thinking that when they 
saw it
                 F
They'd think the human me wrote it 
and an ant was crawling on it
         Em
Then not realizing the ant me was 
really the real me
     G
In a strange twist of fate I think 
they'd probably kill me

[Otro]
Am                      F
I - am a thoughtful guy
Em                      G
I - am a thoughtful guy
          Am                     
And right now, I'm thinking about 
what if I was abducted by aliens 
             F
while I had a really bad farmer's 
tan?
The aliens might incorrectly 
                          Em
conclude that our species was 
two-toned.
G
That's exactly what I thought.
Am                           
And then somehow, through this 
         F
error, my tan lines saved the human 
race.
F
I like that thought.
                Em
Yeah, I think a lot of thoughts like
 that.
G   G
Me, too.


as a bonus, here's the little piano solo that happens about halfway through the song:
