The Gardener Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Dm]I'm not man enough
to be human
But I'm trying to fit in
And I'm learning to fake it

[Verse 2]
Don't ever meet [Dm]their friends
Tells you too much or not enough
Or worse, exactly the wrong thing
Every nuance, every detail
Every movement, every smell
Sound, phrase, inflection,
the way she laughs
These are all the things
You either obsessively fetishize
Or make yourself grow to love
Although you are supposed
to be done growing
She is still growing
It's like a garden with two flowers
One just blooming and casting a shadow
Just like yours
And then it becomes a struggle

[Verse 3]
Of sunlight or rain or weeds
[Dm]
She and every she
Is doomed to be your idea of her
She and every she
Is doomed to be your idea [F]of her
[C]I'm not [Dm]man

[Verse 4]
[C]enough [F]to [C]be [Dm]human[F]
But I'm [C]trying [Dm]to fit [C]in[F]
And I'm [C]learning [Dm]to fa- fa- fa- fake it

[Interlude 1]
[Dm]

[Verse 5]
But [Dm]worse so, back to the point
You are no longer the flower
and the sun
And most importantly the garden
Or the gardener
A muse, your amusement, I am used

[Verse 6]
It's all ruined if you meet their friends
[Dm]
She and every she
Is doomed to be your idea of her
She and every she
Is [F]doomed to be [Dm]your [F]idea [C]of [F]her
[C]I'm [Dm]not man

[Verse 7]
[C]enough
[F]to [C]be hum[Dm]an[F]
But I'm [C]trying [Dm]to fit [C]in[F]
And I'm [C]learning [Dm]to fa- fa- fa- fake it

[Verse 9]
[Dm]
You never wanted to share your
Concept of [F]your creation
With any other gods
[C]or worshippers
[Dm]

[Verse 10]
[F]
Your book is[Em]n't [Dm]burned
it was never [F]written
Your book is[G]n't burned it
[Dm]was never writ[F]ten
