[Verse 1]
B                E
Young Siddhartha went down the promenade
A                  F#
Wearing a graphic tee of a Basquiat
B                     E
Matcha in hand with a newly lit
              A                         F#
Newport cigarette like the summer in Rhode Island, can't forget
     B                     E
The girl the mischief the drugs and the rest that
A                                F#
follow suit when you’re with the likes of a baroness
    B                            E
You learned high class from the new english best
    C#m        B          A
But never felt like you belong

[Chorus 1]
      E                              A      E
Cause back back way back you read a book by Kerouac
      A          E
said "It's who i am"
            A            B
And there's no changing that
     E                A          E
The financе degree’s only for a show
     A           E            A        B
So you can have peacе on your college radio

[Verse 2]
B                 E
State school only let you get
   A
so far as a house show in College Park
B                         E
Kicking it with kids from Bristol and Baltimore
C#m                  B             E
Never understood the Silver Spring fold
     B                            E
When all you've touched has been made of gold
     A                   F#m
The Midas way of Arundel old money
B                        E
And culture and class and Calvert Hall
C#m        B         A
Disillusionment's a gift
N.C.
but you still want it all

[Chorus 2]
      E                              A      E
Cause back back way back you read a book by Kerouac
      A          E
said "It's who i am"
            A            B
And there's no changing that
     E                        A        E
The finance department knows what it's for
     A           E            A     B     E
So you can drive home in your shiny navy Volvo

[Chorus 3]
          E                    A       E
He said “what am i if i can't buy my clothes
        A   E             A        B
And my politics aren't a shade of gold
          E               A       E
Oh these consequences are set in stone
      A        B     E
Marie Kondo’ll never know

    E
Why you can buy actualization
     A
And turn it into cheap religion"

          E                    A       E
He said “what am i if i can't buy my clothes
        A   E             A        B
And my politics aren't a shade of gold
          E               A       E
Oh these consequences are set in stone
      A        B     E
Marie Kondo’ll never know

      E               A         B
Why I live my life in clarendon 36pt bold"
