E Am C7
I love the shape of square things
F B7 E
But in my defense
E Am C7
Right at the edge is where things
F B7 E
Started to not make sense
E Am Am/F# x2
E Am C7
Inside the cube you're spinning
F B7 E
Colors slide into place
E Am C7
Just when you think you're winning
F B7
You mix up a different face
C#m G#
Then you wish for
B F#
Bigger fish or
A E F#
Just some other thing
C#m G#
So you cast her
B F#
In your disaster
A Am
Yes, it hurts, but only when you sing
E Am C7
Like your heart is broken
F B7 E
Bruise at the softest touch
E Am C7
Best leave the rest unspoken
F B7
Who wants to care that much
C#m G#
Here's your chance kid
B F#
Look what you did
A E F#
How could I complain
C#m G#
At the world's end
B F#
With a new friend
A Am
Getting high on the same old dumb champagne
E F#
Still me, quiet as a grave
C#m B
I could play dumb
A Am
Walk away from
E F#
What might be something I could save
C#m B
Take my chances
A G
Circumstances won't change me much
E Am C7 F B7 E
E Am C7 F B7
C#m G#
God forbid you
B F#
Leave the grid you
A E F#
Know you must disclose
C#m G#
That's your one strike
B F#
What's it feel like
A Am
Soft and round, but sometimes even those
E Am C7
Things are shaped like square things
F B7 E
Corners where you can hide
E Am C7
Sometimes you can't repair things
F B7 E
Everyone choose a side
I love the shape of square things
F B7 E
But in my defense
E Am C7
Right at the edge is where things
