D              A                             Bm
I spent the morning with my vitamins and many black teas

G                     F#m                 Em           picking part
E,D, C#, B
combatting the dubious induced haze

A           Em                  F#m                Em
barely awake, already shaken by the misty newsfeed

Bm
I ain't slept very well for days

G             A                              D                          Bm
for all the schadenfreude of mocking stupid politicians

G                        F#m                   Em
I should try to bring a better spirit to my day

A              Em                   Bm
although I can't believe our souls are at their basest, good

G             A                   Bm          Em
i'd like to live as if I could (oh yea)

G             A            D

D                 A                              Bm
You try to offer something without asking much return

G                      F#m                Em        Picking part
At best even less than it is worth

A                  Em              F#m                    Em
And watch it taken every day from every petty picker

Bm
More than you can accumulate from birth

G                         A                             D                         Bm
No, you might never know how the work you've done affects your living

G           F#m                              Em
Trust in animus might just get you through the day

A                    Em                         Bm
And though I don't believe it's lucky when you knock on wood

G       A                    Bm          Em
I'd to live as if I could (oh yea)

G       A             D
I'd to live as if i could.
