D A Bm I spent the morning with my vitamins and many black teas G F#m Em picking part
E,D, C#, B combatting the dubious induced haze
A Em F#m Em barely awake, already shaken by the misty newsfeed
Bm I ain't slept very well for days
G A D Bm for all the schadenfreude of mocking stupid politicians
G F#m Em I should try to bring a better spirit to my day
A Em Bm although I can't believe our souls are at their basest, good

G A Bm Em i'd like to live as if I could (oh yea)
G A D i'd like to live as if I could
D A Bm You try to offer something without asking much return G F#m Em Picking part At best even less than it is worth
A Em F#m Em And watch it taken every day from every petty picker
Bm More than you can accumulate from birth
G A D Bm No, you might never know how the work you've done affects your living
G F#m Em Trust in animus might just get you through the day
A Em Bm And though I don't believe it's lucky when you knock on wood
G A Bm Em I'd to live as if I could (oh yea)
G A D I'd to live as if i could. Breakdown: D, A, Bm, G, Fm, Em, Pick, A, Em, Fm, Em, Bm, G,
Fm, Em
A Em Bm And though I don't believe in God, and don't think that I should
G A Bm Em i'd like to live as if I could (oh yea)
G A D i'd like to live as if I could.
