[Em] [C]
[Em]Staring at the sidewalk,[C] there's a crack in which a flower grows
[G]reminded me of somebody [B7]not hangin' around here anymore
[Em]and everything is so pre[C]tty/pretty fked up, obviously
[G]when you call me from the other[B7] side to tell me everything is fine
[Em]and I will always love ev[C]en when your eyes are fading
[G]and if they catch you, I will save you, I wi[B7]ll get you out
[Em]And this, what about th[C]is?
[G]is it anything at al[B7]l, is it a growing cancer in your heart
[Em]and this life...I don't[C] have a clue
[G]but when they told you not t[B7]o worry, didn't it bother you?
[Am]well all that's very[D] nice but this is still a [G]song against life

[G]a never-ending bible, e[B7]verything they say is our command
[Em]and everybody wants the [C]same, everybody here wants nothing,
[G]grow up to be a millionai[B7]re is all there is
[Em]and this, what about th[C]is?

[Am]all that's v[D]ery nice, but this is a [G]song against life
[Em]He goes out in the kitchen,[C] he goes there every second
and your plastic f[G]ather said:
"it's just [B7]too boring standing here all day"
[Em]and went out for a lover
or a new [C]world to discover
