Helplessness Blues Chords by Fleet Foxes

[Eb] .
.
.
I was raised up believing I was somehow unique, like a snowflake, distinct among snowflakes,.
[Cm] unique in each way you [Eb] can see.
And now after some thinking, I'd [Ab] say I'd [Cm] rather be [Eb] a functioning cog in some great [Ab] machinery,.
serving something [Eb] beyond me.
But I don't know what that [Ab] will be.
[Eb] I'll get [Ab] back to [Eb] you someday.
[Ab] .
Soon you [Eb] will see.
.
.
What's my name?.
What's my spaceship?.
Oh, [Ab] just tell me what I should do.
I [Eb] don't need to be kind to the armies of night that would [Ab] do such injustice [Eb] to you.
Or bow down and be grateful, and [Ab] say,.
I should take all that you see to [Eb] the men who move on me in dimly lit halls,.
[Ab] to determine my future [Eb] for me.
And I don't [Ab] believe [Eb] I'll get back [Ab] to you [Eb] someday.
[Ab] Soon you will [Eb] see.
.
If I know only one thing, it's [Ab] that everything that I see [Eb] of the world outside is so inconceivable,.
[Ab] often I barely [Eb] can speak.
Yeah, I'm tongue-tied and dizzy, and [Ab] I can't keep it to myself.
But [Eb] what good is it to sing helplessness blues?.
Why [Ab] should I wait for anyone [Eb] else?.
And I know I could keep me [Ab] on the shelf.
.
[Eb] I'll [Ab] get back to [Eb] you someday.
[Ab] .
Soon you will [Eb] realize.

If I had [Fm] an armchair, .
[Eb] I'd work till [Fm] I'm numb.
If I had an [Bb] armchair, [Eb] I'd work till [Ab] I'm sore.
.
[Eb] You would wait tables and sing [Ab] and soar.
.
[Eb] Out here in the [Fm] sunlight, .
[Eb] my light in [Fm] the [Bb] dark.
[Ab] .
[Eb] If [Ab] I had an [Eb] armchair, I'd work till [Ab] I'm sore.
.
[Eb] If I had an armchair, I'd work till [Ab] I'm sore.
.
[Eb] Oh, [Fm] oh, .
[Eb] .
[Fm] oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [Eb] oh, oh, oh.
[Ab] .
.
[Eb] Someday I'll be like the man on [Ab] the screen.
