 C There is no rush when you don't belong Turns out we don't all Em Fight like dogs in the end C Most of us want to roll out Roll under the grass Em You are limbless, cartoon No bridge in your song Spirulina won't cure my heartbreak I was a dreamer when I learned to take In between her and the fireplace There are factors that conditioned me Something in the canopy, clearly And the blank ones Cartwheel out of the furnace The mould never cracked you see The girls in St Denis Still sleep on their backs Understood a fact When you spoke in all your marvelous ideologies The world is always at ease At ease At ease Don't you see And the deaths on the highways From drinking at casinos Feel so natural Every day a dice roll Every way you gamble Where is something I can handle? And the world void of Petrov, our savior We are taught to savour Everyone else's failures Endlessly Even the greatest The very very greatest Gave up, tapped out Told all you fuckers to lie down Yet still you found cathedrals of dissent Where does the robber go, where does the robber go to repent? Tell me 'Till there you were You wouldn't buy a round For your best friend See, it's trickled down On you I don't depend There you go then, bye Another end, bye Infinitum, bye There you go then, bye With such a heavy sound There is no rush when you don't belong Turns out we don't all fight like dogs in the end Most of us want to roll out Roll under the grass You're a limbless cartoon No bridge in your song Make me wonder again Or make me learn to pretend Make me wonder again Or make me learn to pretend Make me wonder again Or make me learn to pretend | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsC  Em  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
