G
I left a trail of myself
      C                             G    C   F  C
every place that I have been through,
         G
And going bald is the most manly thing
      C                 G    C   F   C
that I'm ever gonna do.
              G
I tell the earth, "thanks for the hair,
                 C                       G     C   F   C          
thanks for the skin, thanks for the bone",
               G
Though I now slowly give it back 
           C                G    C   F   C
I still appreciate the loan.
       G
Just tell me that you like me
               C                        G     C   F  C
in the same sentence as a mountain side.
       G
'Cause it would be 
        C                       G      C   F   C
such a relief to be objectified.
            G
'Cause who says it's so important
          C                           G     C   F  C
to sort through these thoughts of ours.
                 G
Maybe be that's why we love to try
               C                 G     C   F   C
to see ourselves from the outside
    G                            C               G    C   F   C
In photographs and videos and diaries and mirrors.
        G
'Cause it would be
          C                     G      C   F   C
such a relief to be objectified.
         G
And the closest that I ever got
                C
still seems to leave a lot to go,
         F
but the horizon seems to be a place
        C
that nobody can know.
  G
Looking forth and looking back, 
     C
our vision can't extend 
   F
beyond the quaint vanishing points
     C
our bodies' recommend,
          G
and I'll help you move some furniture
  C
somewhere it's never been before,
         F
but the room's so small the dresser drawer
       C
won't let us get back out the door.
      G
Just tell me that you like me 
              C
in the same sentence as the building.
F                     C
It would be such a relief to see
            G            C    F    C     G   C  F  C
I'm just a natural thing.
                G
We're only boats,
          C                 G     C   F   C
And the boats are only empty
                G
And you can't blame an empty boat 
              C             G     C   F  C
that's on a river to the sea.
            G
You can't blame a billion boats
            C                   G     C  F  C
without a sail, without a sailor.
            G
And that's how we look 
                       C                G    C   F   C
in photographs, and diaries, and mirrors.
          G
And the plants turn into ants, 
          C
and the ants turn into plants,
          F
And children are clumsy people, 
          C
and old people are rotting Children.
         G
And I still don't have a cell phone,
         C
but this sea shell gets Reception,
          F
And the ocean won't stop calling,
        C
and I want a restraining order.
      G
Just tell me that you like me
              C
in the same sentence as a building.
F                     C
It would be such a relief to see
                        G     C   F   C
I'm just a natural thing.
                          G   C   F   C
We're just a natural thing.
                  G    C   F   C      G
Just like anything.
