Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Especially in the intro, the chords are really just arpeggios, so I've done my best to approximate them. Feel
free to correct if you have a better suggestion!

[Verse 1]
D A G C
You're not wanting anybody wanting in you
D A G C
I get it, all is fair
D A G C
But I've been biting all my cherry hearts in two
D A G C
And you don't even care
[Pre-Chorus]
A G F C
Won't you ever come down from the big rock I found you climbing
F G A
Stowing your diamonds away
[Chorus]

I'm a practical guy

Something that never could stay

I've got nothing under my feet
