C                              Am
I have these bursts

Moments of clarity

Tantrums at reality

I miss your body, I miss your spirit

I’m crying in the morning

I’m laughing in the afternoon
C                                                   Am
I don’t know why anything’s happening
C                     Am
Forever a bit confused
C                               Am
Take myself out to the ocean
C                                         Am
Drown my body out to sea
C                               Am
End the internal commotion
C                                                                                                   Am
And the thought the whole world’s only happening to me

The whole world

C                                         Am
Find it incredibly boring
C                                                Am
How much everybody talks about everyone else
C                                         Am
All of these victorious values
C                          Am
Discarded in an afternoon
C                                         Am
Just leaves me a bit confused
C                                         Am
How much everybody talks about everyone else
(Everybody talks about everyone else)

[Chorus 2]
F                     F                     C             G
I miss your body, I miss your spirit

The world’s a better place with you in it
Am               Em               F
Had that dream again

Where we all get sent to heaven
Am               Em               F
Had that dream again

In the car park behind the 7-Eleven

Had that dream again

Had that dream again
