G5
I left a trail of myself
      C5                             G5    C5   F5  C5
every place that I have been through,
         G5
And going bald is the most manly thing
      C5                 G5    C5   F5   C5
that I'm ever gonna do.
              G5
I tell the earth, "thanks for the hair,
                 C5                       G5     C5   F5   C5          
thanks for the skin, thanks for the bone",
               G5
Though I now slowly give it back 
           C5                G5    C5   F5   C5
I still appreciate the loan.
       G5
Just tell me that you like me
               C5                        G5     C5   F5  C5
in the same sentence as a mountain side.
       G5
'Cause it would be 
        C5                       G5      C5   F5   C5
such a relief to be objectified.
            G5
'Cause who says it's so important
          C5                           G5     C5   F5  C5
to sort through these thoughts of ours.
                 G5
Maybe be that's why we love to try
               C5                 G5     C5   F5   C5
to see ourselves from the outside
    G5                            C5               G5    C5   F5   C5
In photographs and videos and diaries and mirrors.
        G5
'Cause it would be
          C5                     G5      C5   F5   C5
such a relief to be objectified.
         G5
And the closest that I ever got
                C5
still seems to leave a lot to go,
         F5
but the horizon seems to be a place
        C5
that nobody can know.
  G5
Looking forth and looking back, 
     C5
our vision can't extend 
   F5
beyond the quaint vanishing points
     C5
our bodies' recommend,
          G5
and I'll help you move some furniture
  C5
somewhere it's never been before,
         F5
but the room's so small the dresser drawer
       C5
won't let us get back out the door.
      G5
Just tell me that you like me 
              C5
in the same sentence as the building.
F5                     C5
It would be such a relief to see
            G5            C5    F5    C5     G5   C5  F5  C5
I'm just a natural thing.
                G5
We're only boats,
          C5                 G5     C5   F5   C5
And the boats are only empty
                G5
And you can't blame an empty boat 
              C5             G5     C5   F5  C5
that's on a river to the sea.
            G5
You can't blame a billion boats
            C5                   G5     C5  F5  C5
without a sail, without a sailor.
            G5
And that's how we look 
                       C5                G5    C5   F5   C5
in photographs, and diaries, and mirrors.
          G5
And the plants turn into ants, 
          C5
and the ants turn into plants,
          F5
And children are clumsy people, 
          C5
and old people are rotting Children.
         G5
And I still don't have a cell phone,
         C5
but this sea shell gets Reception,
          F5
And the ocean won't stop calling,
        C5
and I want a restraining order.
      G5
Just tell me that you like me
              C5
in the same sentence as a building.
F5                     C5
It would be such a relief to see
                        G5     C5   F5   C5
I'm just a natural thing.
                          G5   C5   F5   C5
We're just a natural thing.
                  G5    C5   F5   C5      G5
Just like anything.
