[Verse 1]
Eb
Everyone's a tankie 'til their first fat check
    Cm
And everyone's an incel until they go and get it
        Fm
Now you love your circle, you love your home
Bb
No one in this life really makes it alone
       Eb
It was easy in the pits to sling hot takes
       Cm
It was easy to decide that it was all a waste
         Fm
Then you fucked around
    Fm
You found your spirit
           Bb
Now you're talking like a zealot
         Bb
And they don't want to hear it

[Pre-Chorus]
    Eb    Cm      Fm         Bb
Oh, I remember sixteen years old
         Eb           Cm              Fm    Bb
When the future was a suffer farm for human souls
        Ab                          Bb
And the black pits stretched for forever before me
    Ab                              Bb
The creatures on the internet, they para-adored me

N.C.

[Chorus]
        Eb                             Cm
Now the zeitgeist wants a nihilist and I'm a flop
        Fm                             Bb
'Cause death isn't a threat, it's the cherry on top
Eb                      Cm
Maybe I just ended up a little too goth
Fm                        Bb
Maybe my death drive gave up and got lost
Eb             Cm              Fm            Bb
Take me to the gray space that lines the clouds
      Ab          Bb                  Fm             Bb
I'll cry until it glitters, then I'll ride the storm down
Ab        Bb           Fm         Bb
Lightning hands at the end of the world
    Ab      Ab                Bb        Bb
The loudest thunder, the most beautiful girl

[Post-Chorus]
    Eb               Cm         Fm         Bb
How could I be angry at the funniest joke?
      Eb         Cm               Fm    Bb
Lucky just to be here, clear and afloat
  Ab            Ab            Bb        Bb
Standing at the center of the fractal design
 Fm             Fm        Bb
Watching stupid bullshit suddenly become divine

[Verse 2]
Eb
Blame it on the money, blame it on drugs
 Cm
Blame it on the stars that taught a robot to love
       Ab
It's easy to be radical all on your own
       Eb       Gm7                 Bb         Gm7
But it all gets messy when there's someone at home
    Eb
The roots grow slowly, then you're suddenly there
           Cm
And you'll wake up in a decade and find out that you care
     Ab
It's hard fucking work being part of a fabric
        Bb
And the only thing it gets you is unlimited magic

[Verse 3]

So maybe you don't care about being cool
Eb                Cm                 Fm         Ab    Fm  Ab
Maybe that's just something that you leave back in school
Ab        Ab      Bb  Bb     Fm    Fm     Bb  Bb
Back with all the backpacks, slung on one shoulder
          Ab               Ab            Bb7   Bb7 Bb7
Where the hottest thing to do is just to never get older
 Eb
Tell me that I'm closing in against the wall
     Cm
I'll never be young again or skinny or tall
     Fm
And this cream or that cream will fill in my lines
Bb
Aging gets you nothing but the gruesome divine
Eb
Aging gets you nothing but a new song to sing
     Cm
Your place among the family of things
  Fm
A method for thought, food for the spirit
  Bb
A chance to exist at a brand-new tier, well

[Pre-Chorus]

[Bridge]
  Eb
A circle and a spiral and a slice of the sky
  Cm
A building and a river and a Raspberry Pi
  Fm
I sketch them in the dreamscape and bring them to you
Eb             Bb
All the little models of what we're going through
       Eb
If you only knew then what you think you know now
         Cm
But then how could you possibly have figured it out?
Fm
How could I have told her what I know, I don't know?
Bb
How could I have showed her where we do and don't go?
Eb
Life both does and doesn't go on
Cm
Every precious creature does and doesn't belong
        Fm
So with every step everything changes
           Bb
And you're bored and you're horrified
           Bb
And you're fucking amazed, well

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause aging is a gift that I cherish and honor
Ab           Bb         Fm         Bb
Maybe I just ended up a little too goth
Ab                   Bb
Maybe by that I mean sharp and yet soft
Eb
Take me to the gray space that lines the clouds
     Cm
I'll cry until it glitters, then I'll ride the storm down
Fm
Lightning hands at the end of the world
    Bb
The loudest thunder, the most beautiful girl
