This is the chords of A Big Day For Grimley by AJJ (Andrew Jackson Jihad) on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.
[Verse 1] G
I went back to the desert C
Little Midwest in me G
And now I’m colder C
Than I used to be D
I live in a fortress Am7C
The shape of my body GD
And now there’s a coldness GCG
And it’s shaped like me

[Verse 2] G
And now I don’t suffer C
Anymore bullshit gladly G
Even though everything’s bullshit now C
Here in 2019 D
And you can bet it’s gonna be a bunch of bullshit too Am7C
Out in sweet 2020 GDGCG
Or whenever this album’s released
[Bridge] GCGEm Am7CEmCD

[Verse 3] G
I went back to the desert C
With a skull full of teeth G
But now I’m quieter D
Than I thought I’d be G
Came back to the desert C
And the desert came into me GD
And now there’s a quietness GCG
And it’s deafening
[Verse 4] G
Solitude for the stoic C
Mirth for the merry G
A quiet room for the overwhelmed C
Arcades for the ADHD D
Health for the sickly Am7C
A big day for Grimley GD
Good luck everybody GCG
Good luck everybody
[Outro] GCGEm Am7CGDGCG
