[Verse 1]
E B A E C#m
I'm fucking hideous and spiteful
B A E
When I'm left to my devices
A E
I soak my tentacles in ice baths
C#m E
If you feel a draft
[Chorus]
E A E A E B
I'll be home indoors I'll be home indoors
A E B
Because I'm wasting away my life and gifts
C#m B E
On being a jellyfish
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
E A E A E B
I'll be home indoors I'll be home indoors
A E B
Because I'm wasting away my life and gifts
C#m B E
On being a piece of shit
[Bridge]
A E
Should I go shake out on the sidewalk
A C#m B A
Or should I stay inside and shine in artificial light
E
If I could I would do it so much better off than try
A B D#m B
I won't be failing if I don't so
E
I'll sit with stingers ready
B
In case somebody comes
C#m A B
To fill my head with petty jealousy
E
And show me all the things I could be doing
B D#m
If I were a vertebrate but it's comfortable
B A E A
Not wondering at all if I'd've made it
[Chorus]
E D A E A E B
Should I'd've stayed at home in doors I'll be home in doors
A E B A E B
I'll be home and indoors I'll be home and indoors
