Wil Wagner - Why I Cant Draw Acoustic Chords

[Intro]

F       C       F   G   C

[Verse]

F
I found an old notebook filled up with pictures
C
Found my friends in hospital beds with facial stitches
F                                                          C
We sat around the table, drinking hoping no one would ever die
F
A scribble of an elephant with
C
"Why I can't draw and why everyone is evil"
F                                 C
Written above it in faded black ink
F
Heated debate about the legal system
C
Let's have a rally, let's start a revolution
F                                                    C
Set fires under our feet and do our best not to stamp it out
F
And all I can see through the rooftops and the chimneys
C
Is the top of a billboard that reads "love"
F                                                                C
And I think it's an advert for nasal spray technology but in my current state it doesn't matter much

[Bridge]
F                    G                     F                       G
And these things are consuming but there's more to me than lack of sleep and anxiety
F                             G                      F                       G
And darling you've befriended dropouts and drifters, so why would you expect anything different?
C             Em7    Am7         C        Em7         Am7         G
But this is a summer song, and I want you all to sing along

[Chorus]
        F
It goes da dadadada da da da dadadada
C
Da dadadada da da da dadadada
F               G          C
Da dadadada da da da da-a-a-aa

[Verse 2]
F
And a woman with a face that slid right down to the top of her dress
C
Told me I'd succeed because I'd been touched by a goddess
F                                                                   C
If technology's taught me anything it's that writing is much easier than speaking
F
That walking's best done in silence
C
And rooftops are best left leaking
F
And as we boarded up the walls where our fists had fell the night before
C
I said, "I'm sorry that I shout, I'm not sorry that I don't put out
F                                                 C
I'm sorry I can't understand things unless I find music in them."
F                                           C
And you know that you feel like I left you, but you left me without much of a choice
F                                     C
I haven't learnt to draw but at least I never lost, never lost my voice

[Bridge]
F                    G                     F                       G
And these things are consuming but there's more to me than lack of sleep and anxiety
F                             G                      F                       G
And darling you've befriended dropouts and drifters, so why would you expect anything different?
C             Em7    Am7         C        Em7         Am7         G
But this is a summer song, and I want you all to sing along

[Chorus]
        F
It goes da dadadada da da da dadadada
C
Da dadadada da da da dadadada
F               G          C
Da dadadada da da da da-a-a-aa
F
Da dadadada da da da dadadada
C
Da dadadada da da da dadadada
F               G          C
Da dadadada da da da da-a-a-aa
