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 G
I think about if a friend were choking on ice
"Just be patient" would the best advice
Am F
I think about that moment when I'm 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 F
And seemingly, right now, they could be
Thinking this same thought as me
Em G G
Well, a similar thought, but not 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 F
I think how do I know that you and me
See the same colors the same way when you and me see?
Em G
Is my red blue for you, or my green your green, too?
Could it be true we see differing hues?
Am F
And say we do; then how would we 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
[Outro]
Am F
I - am a thoughtful guy
Em G
I - am a thoughtful guy
Am F
And right now, I'm thinking about what if I was abducted by aliens while I had a really bad farmer's tan?
Em
The aliens might incorrectly conclude that our species was two-toned.
G
That's exactly what I thought.
Am F
And then somehow, through this 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:
