[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
There are [D]tiers, as in levels, to reality
On the in[G]dustrial corner of North
17th Street [D]& Wythe
[A]Two black public high school kids [G]watch
a Nordic model get pho[D]tographed[Bm]
To them, she is [F#m]lunar,
im[G]possible, [F#m]alien [D]life
So, as a comet might relate
to a traffic- stopped taxicab
Or a Ba[G]hamas vacation
to a stint in Guantanamo [D]Bay
So, as [A]access & privilege relate [G]to their
absolute [D]opposites[Bm]
That's the way that these [F#m]kid
s & this wo[G]man will [A]always relate
[D]

[Verse 2]
And it's nobody's [G]fault
Yeah, no one's [D]to blame
We all work through [Em]the dark
We all carry [A]the weight
Slender [G]shoulders [D]& blindfolds
[F#]Spinning [Bm]in cycles
[D]Now, [F#m]now, n[Bm]ow: n[A]avigate![D]

[Verse 3]
[D]
There are tiers, as in layers,
to an experience
Through [G]each lens & metric,
the image warps every [D]day
I'm [A]either successful, inde[G]pendent,
& largely un[D]compromised[Bm]
Or a non- starter, [F#m]nev er- was,
[G]has- been [A]since [D]2008

[Verse 4]
And it's nobody's [G]fault
Yeah, no one's to blame
[D]We all work through [Em]the dark
We all carry [A]the weight
Slender [G]shoulders [D]& blindfolds
[F#]Spinning [F#m]in cycles[Bm]
[D]Now[F#m], now,[Bm] now:[A] navigate![G]

[Interlude 1]
[A][G][Bm][F#m][G]
[D][A][G][A][G][Bm][F#m][G][D][A]
[D]

[Verse 5]
[D]There are tears, as in waterworks,
and they're threatening
[G]To spoil the negotiated sweetness
of my af[D]ternoon
I can't [A]answer anything [G]honestly
without an aster[D]isk[Bm]
[F#m]Airquotes and [G]doublespeak litter
[A]the fountain of [D]youth

[Verse 6]
And if it's nobody's [G]fault
Then I'm not [D]to blame
I just work in [Em]the dark
I just carry [D]the weight[A]
Slender [G]shoulders [D]& blindfolds
[F#]Stranded [Bm]in cycles
[D]Now, [F#m]now, n[Bm]ow: n[A]avigate!

[Outro 1]
