C
Everyone's too sad or too sick,
Am
Or they just don'?t give a shit about whose playing tonight in Kansas City.
C
Unless it's on 103, The Buzz, or some DIY basement sludge,
Am
And that, well that'??s when it hit me.
F
I don'??t have any real friends,
G
All I've got are these acquaintances,
F
And none of them could care less,
G
And somehow I've been okay with it,
C
Until now.
F G
Well I went to the Tiny Moving Parts show last night,
C Em Am
And I swear that it changed my life.
F G
The entire concept of friendship to me,
C Em Am
Like we should hang out outside of work to do more than get fucked up and party.
F
'Cause when I left the small town for the city
G
I thought something big changed within me,
C Em Am
And I'??d be the everyman of this town.
F
What I was I thinking going from a branch on a well rooted tree,
G
To a grain of sand on the biggest beach,
Am G F
Where no one's sure if they'??re leaving or sticking around.
G
Will you stick around?
F G
Everyone I know is listening to Skrillex and Waka Flocka Flame.
C Em Am
In fact the only records they actually own are Mumford & Sons, Odd Future, and Lil Wayne.
F G
They'd rather blow their money in Westport on molly and weed,
C Em Am
Than go see a movie, or go to the aquarium with me.
And I just
F G
Well wait a second,
What if I've been blowing people off like that too?
C Em Am
What if someone'??s really needed my support or just wanted to spend time with me?
F G
You know, it's funny. I write so many songs about all these assholes I know,
C Em Am
But I never stop to think about why I know so many.
F G
Maybe I should spend more time trying to meet other artists,
C Em Am
Instead of trying to get the wrong people to like me. Huh.
F G
Well I went to the Tiny Moving Parts show last week,
C Em Am
I guess that I didn'??t learn a god damn thing.
F G
I spent the last 12 years just taking whoever came to me,
C Em Am
But now I see that it's a 2 way street.
F C
Last month I left the Tiny Moving Parts show without a doubt
Am G
That I had everything all figured out.
F C
Turns out that we accept the love we think we deserve --
G
We deserve so much more!
F
And I just want to make friends!
C
And build some lasting relationships!
Am G
But a military life fucked that up for me!
F C
And it turns out there aren't many perks to being a wallflower,
G
Or letting other people or liquor take the lead!
F
We'??ve gotta see for ourselves!
C
Because we get too comfortable,
Am G
Doing these things we've always done with people that we don'??t actually know!
F
And I want to make friends!
C
And build some lasting relationships!
G
Being a wallflower isn'?t working out for me!
[repeat last phrase]
F C
And I accept; I'??m a grain of sand along the beach
Am G
But there's no reason to be terrified of the sea.
F
I will let it take me,
C
And whatever will people be,
G
Yeah whatever will people be,
F
We will be.
