[D]
These are the thoughts [E] that go through my head [D]
in my backyard on a Sunday afternoon
And I have the house to myself and I am not [E] expending all that energy on fighting with
[Bm] my [G] boyfriend
[D]
Is he the one that I will marry?
Why is it so hard to be objective about myself?
Why do I feel cellularly alone?
Am I supposed to live in this crazy city?
Will I [Bm] need continued fear induced from [G] her?
Will this repeated life denying [D] tradition be overcome?
Where does the money go that I send to those in need?
If we have so much why do some people have nothing still I do?
I feel frantic when I first wake up in the morning
Why do you say you are [Bm] spiritual?
[G] Yet you treat people [D] like shit
How can you say you're close to God?
And yet you talk behind my back as though I'm not a part of you I do
I say I'm fine when it's obvious I am not
Why is it so hard to tell you [Bm] what I want?
[G] Why can't you just read [D] my mind?
Why do I fear that the quieter I am the [E] less you will listen?
[D] Why do I care whether you like me or not?
Why is it so hard for me to be angry?
Why is it such work to stay conscious and so easy to [Bm] get stuck?
[G] And not the [D] other way around
[Bm] Here I am I'll move [G] back to Canada
[D] I feel it fill up with my own master dives
[Bm] And a master I am I
[G] Encouraged to shut my [D] mouth when it gets too close
To home I cannot [Bm] I live [G] in the moment
[D]
[G] [N]
[Gm] So this is a song
These are the thoughts [E] that go through my head [D]
