Version 1
[Verse 1]
N.C. Gm
There's so much to do
D
I'll never have the wherewithal to do it all again
Gm D
Or fucking do it all at all
Eb F
I love you so much, I don't wanna go but
Bb Gb Gm
Everybody knows this place is dying, as am I
C
I might not get another chance
Gb F Bb
It's such a careful dance and I am such a fuck up
F
If you only knew that I am such a fuck up
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb A Ab C
I've got one hundred hours to rearrange the stars
F Bb A Ab Gm
And I'm the worst mistake that God has ever made
Gb F C
You seem to integrate so fucking well
Eb F Bb
But I make lemons out of lemonade
[Chorus]
Eb F Bb D Gm
Blood clots and death cramps, injections and leakages
C F Gb Gm Bb
The election cyclе and the tides
C F D Gm
Aztec circlеs of the death of all deaths
Eb F Bb
But the beast refuses to die
[Verse 2]
N.C. Eb
In your guts you know it's all destroyed
F
You could've had a boy if you had children
Gm
Now you think you might just put them down
C Gb F
None of us belong, everything I do is wrong
Bb
And soon there will be nobody left around
Gm C F
And in your blood, you know what's right
Bb Bb Gm
And in your bones, you know what's wrong
C Gb F
And in your throat, you know you're lying to kids
Ab Bb Ab Gm
And you know nobody belongs in this hell
Eb F
And there is not a single choice left to make
Bb Gb
I am God's worst mistake and
Gm F
You seem happy on the knife's edge
C F Bb
But I just lick the blade
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb A Ab C
I've got one hundred hours to rearrange the stars
F Bb A Ab Gm
And I'm the worst mistake that God has ever made
Gb F C
You seem to integrate so fucking well
Eb F Bb
But I make lemons out of lemonade
[Chorus]
Eb F Bb D Gm
Blood clots, death camps, glitz and depressions
C F Gb Gm Bb
The election cycle and the tides
C F D Gm
Concentric circles of torture wheels
Eb F Bb
But the beast refuses to die
[Verse 3]
Gm Eb F
Atomistic rational behavior, invisible hand savior
F Bb F Gm
Fucking up your definitions even though it's life or death
C Gb F
Who fuckin' told you you were selfish or even self-interested?
F Bb Gm
Don't you think it matters when we wish our friends the best
Eb F
And, fuck, I'm not a Marxist, I'm not a fuckin' democrat
Bb Gb Gm
Because of all this bullshit, I'm not anything at all
C Gb F
All I wanted was a framework, none of them can live here
F Bb Gm
There's nothing to believe in and there won't be till we fall
Eb D
And it's not all you, man, you were just a kid once
Gm C
God, I'm such a fuck up, if you only knew that I am such a fuck up
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb A Ab C
I've got one hundred hours to rearrange the stars
F Bb A Ab Gm
And I'm the worst mistake your God has ever made
Gb F C
I can't get the numbers right, I can't fucking count
Eb F Bb
Because not one goddam thing is in its place
[Chorus]
Eb F Bb D Gm
Blood clots, death camps, glitz and depressions
C F Gb Gm Bb
The business cycle and the tides
C F D Gm
You fuckers know it's all built on lies
Eb F Bb Gb
But the beast refuses to die
N.C.
And so I guess, well, neither can I
