[Verse 1]
Em
I can see mountains
G
I can see sky
D
I sometimes wish that I was blind
C
To all the futures that we left behind
Em
I walk on shaky ground
G
Nervous, I leave the house
A
In the dark before the dawn
C
A commuter with no place to run
[Chorus]
C Em
I wish I could be content with the football scores
Am D
I wish I could be content with the daily chores
Dm G E7
With my daily worship of the sublime
[Verse 2]
Em
Last night, I was afraid
G
My head was locked in pain
D
I thought a person could go mad
C
No one can help you when it gets this bad
Em
But I thought about your way
G
I had a picture of your face
A
I was wishing you the best
C
Sending you love with evеry tired breath
[Chorus]
C Em
I wish I could be content with the football scores
Am D
I wish I could be content with the daily chores
Dm G E7
With my daily worship of the sublime

[Verse 3]
Em
When we were very young
G
We loved our selfish fun
D
We cared what people thought
C
About our selfish words
Em
You could not tell us then
G
How much we wouldn't care
A
'Bout all the mindless trivia
C
Now we've got kids and dystopia
[Chorus]
C Em
I wish I could be content with the football scores
Am D
I wish I could be content with the daily chores
Dm G E
With my daily worship of the sublime
C Em
I wish I could walk away from my scars and sores
Am D
I wish I could walk away from the 'No one gets me'
Dm
From my sense of envy
G E7
To the benign
[Outro]
C Em
I wish I could be content with the football scores
Am D
I wish I could be content with the daily chores
Dm G E7
With my daily worship of the sublime
C Em
I wish I could be content with the football scores
Am D
I wish I could be content with the daily chores
Dm G E
With my daily worship of the sublime
C Em
I wish I could walk away from my scars and sores
