C G F
[Verse 1]
C G F
I love material but everything I love so quickly falls apart
F C
Keep it to myself and in my heart
G
And I'm only as sick as my secrets
F
So baby tell me what is my weakness?
C G F
I called the therapist, she sent me to a circle to sort it out
F
I've got my foot in my mouth
C G F
My medicine stopped working for my sick soul
F
Under the pressure, I fold
[Chorus]
C G F
And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void
C G F
This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy
C G F
And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void
C G F
This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy
C
I'm a material boy
[Verse 2]
F
Deeply American, which is to say I'm deeply ashamed
F
I wonder what the world would say?
C G
And I'm probably sick from my secrets
F
Politically daft, but we're in deep shit
C G
Can't tell the circle that the red has got me paranoid
F
Superiority keeps me annoyed
C G
It bears repeating that I'm sick and have to quit
F
No longer Christian, but I'm still afraid of judgement
[Chorus]
C G F
And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void
C G F
This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy
C G F
And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void
C G F
This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy
C
I'm a material boy
[Bridge]
G F
C G
I filled all my pockets
F
Checked all the boxes
F
I couldn't escape
C
Still find myself obnoxious
Prideful and godless
G F
Selfish and thoughtless
Capital dream for material boy that
F C
I went and I lost it
F
I went and I lost it all
[Chorus]
C G F
And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void
C G F
This is a spiritual world, I'm a material boy
C G F
And I opened up my heart and found a spiritual void
(it's a spiritual world, I'm a material boy)
C G F
It's a spiritual world, I'm a material boy
N.C.
(it's a spiritual world, I'm a material boy)
