_ _ _ I've left the trail of myself, every place that I've [C] been through
[G] _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [G] And going bald is the most manly thing I'm ever gonna do
[G] _ _ _ _
_ _ I'll tell the earth thanks for the hair, [C] thanks for the skin, thanks for the bone
_ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [G] Though I now slowly give it back, I [C] still appreciate the [G] loan
_ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [G] Just tell me that you like me, in the [D] same sentence as a [G] mountainside
_ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ Cause it would be such a relief to be objectified _ _ _ _ _
_ Cause who says it's so important to sort [D] through these thoughts of ours?
[G] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ Maybe that's why we love to try to see [D] ourselves from the outside
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ In photographs and videos [D] and diaries and [G] mirrors _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Cause it would be such a [D] relief to be objectified _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And the closest that I ever got still [C] seems to leave a lot to go
[C] But the horizon seems to be a place that nobody can know
[G] Looking forth and looking back, our vision can't extend
[D] Beyond the quaint vanishing [C] points our bodies recommend
[G] And I'll help you move some furniture somewhere it's never been before
But the room's so small, the dresser door won't let us get back out the door
[G] Just tell me that you like me, in [C] the same sentence as a building
[F] It would be such a relief to see I'm just [G] an actual thing
[Em] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[G] We're only bugs, and the [D] bugs are only empty
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[G] And you can't blame an empty bug that's on [C] a river to the sea
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ You can't blame a billion bugs without a [Dm] cell, without a cellar
And _ _ _ _ _ _ that's how we live, in photographs and diaries and mirrors _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And the plants turn into ants, [C] and the ants turn into plants
And children [F] are clumsy people, and old people are rotting children
And I [G] still don't have a cell phone, but this seashell gets reception
And the [F] ocean won't stop calling, and I want a restraining [G] order
Just tell me that you like me, in [C] the same sentence as a building
It would be such a relief to see [G] I'm just an actual thing
[Em] _ _
_ We're just an actual thing, _ just _ like anything _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
