When you're [Em] a kid, you think, I wouldn't mind being in a band, you know what I mean?
And to [D] actually have it, [A] it's a pretty good thing, you know?
[E] [D] When [A] something stands for nothing,
[E] [D] it [A] detaches memory.
[E] [D] This [A] one's about everything you don't think about [E] until you [D] sleep.
[A] Yeah.
[E] [D] And this [A] one's for nothing.
[E] [D] And this [A] one's for fun.
