These Are the Thoughts Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]These are the thoughts
that go through my head
In my backyard on a Sunday afternoon
When I have the house to
myself and I am not
Expending all that energy on fighting
With [Bm]my bo[G]yfriend[Gsus2][D]
Is he the one that I will marry
And why's it so hard to
be good to myself?
And why do I feel cellularly alone?
Am I supposed to live in this crazy city
You [Bm]mean [G]I'm not acorn
[D]

[Verse 2]
[D]Where does the money go
that I send
To charities, if we have so much
why do some people have
Nothing, still why do I feel frantic when I
First wake up in the morning?
Why do you say you are spiritu[Bm]al
Yet [G]you treat people like shit?
[D]

[Verse 3]
[D]How can you say you're close to God,
and yet you talk behind
My back as though I'm not a part of you,
why do you say "I'm fine"
When it's obvious you are not,
why's it so hard to tell you what I [Bm]want
Why can[G]'t you just read [D]my mind?

[Verse 4]
[D]Why do I fear that the quieter I am
The less people will listen
Why do I care whether you
like me or not
Why's it so hard for me to be angry
Why's it so hard to become passionate
and so easy to get [Bm]stuck
And [G]not the other way around
[D]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]Will I ever move [G]back to Canada
Can I [D]be with a lover with
whom I am a student
And a mas[Bm]ter,
why am I en[G]couraged to shut my mouth
[D]When it gets too close to home,
why cannot I
[Bm]Live in [G]the moment
[D]
