Verse: G Take it easy, honey G Catch me toeing the line G Lost in a role I play G Stuck in a video game C Armed with a safety pin C Overly confident C My skin is airy thin C But my game is rigged to win G I keep my head up G Fill up your empty cup G All in the name of love G While you get the hang of C A shade that suits me C Itʼs not natural beauty C The line of duty C Collapses into me Chorus: G Em G Em I... lay out all the basic science G Em G Em I try to make it fit, itʼs mystifying G Em I can get along G Em ʼCause my spineʼs a rotted two-by-four G Em Barely hanging on G Em My benevolence just hits the floor G I get bored Verse: G Lord knows I tried G I keep my mind occupied G Watch for the falling tide G Make an exit on the sly C Armed with a memory C Surely will stay with me C Fragments of misery C Feeding off my body G I keep my eyes shut G Sage advice to rebut G A blind squirrel finds a nut G Mapping out the shortcuts C Twenty questions C Dexterous protesting C And what a blessing C Say youʼve been manifesting Chorus: G Em G Em I... lay out all the basic science G Em G Em I try to make it fit, itʼs mystifying G Em I can get along G Em ʼCause my spineʼs a rotted two-by-four G Em Barely hanging on G Em My benevol?nce just hits the floor G Em I get bor?d...
