[A] [Bm] [A] [Bm]
[A] [Bm] [A] [G]
[A] I'm going to sing a song called,
Used [Bm] to be silent, [A] I [B] feel hollow,
[A] [Bm] Getting out of swallow, [A] this [G] educated guy.
[A] Give [B] me a reason [A] to [B] commit treason,
[A] And what [B] I believe in, [G] estimated price.
[A] Make [D] me a painter, [A] that lives [D] on an island,
[A] Housed [B] by the ocean, [F#] and waits [G] for the oak.
[A] Make [D] me a chapter, [A] of all [D] my obsessions,
Remove [Bm] my possessions, [F#] that [G] clutters my soul.
[A] Stop [B] chasing that fool's [A] foes,
[B] [A] [Bm]
[A] [G] I [B] used to write lyrics, [A] that [Bm] gave me this courage,
[A] They were [B] not that terrific, [A] but they got me laid.
I used to be sexy, now [Bm] everything vexes [A] me,
Nothing impresses me, except [G] getting paid.
[A] So [D] make me a painter, [A] that [D] lives on an [A] island,
[Bm] Housed by the ocean, [F#] and [G] waits for the oak.
[A] [D] Make me a chapter, of all my [A] obsessions,
[Bm] Remove my possessions, [F#m] [G] that clutters my soul.
[Bm] Stop chasing that [A] fool's foes,
[B]
[A] [G]

[A] [Bm] [A] [G]
[A] No I don't want to be younger, don't want [B] to live longer,
[A] Not sure [B] I belong here, [A] and maybe I don't.
[A] Go to [Bm] Havana, [B] dance like I'm [A] Spanish,
Yeah I could vanish, [G] and no one would know.
[E] Make me [D] a painter, [A] that lives on an island,
Housed by [Bm] the ocean, [F#m] and waits [G] for the oak.
[A] Make me [D] a chapter, of all [D] my obsessions,
[A] Remove my [Bm] possessions, [F#m] that clutters [G] my soul.
