I Locked My Time Capsule

Am G


[Verse 1]
C            Em     F
We were born night owls
C                      F
The warm air makes our eyes glow
C                Am
Summer makes our heads spin
C                    Em
And the smell of hot pavement
F
Making rain rise like spirits
C                Am
Holy water still freezes come winter
Am                F
We drink from the sprinklers
G                Am
The neighborhood left on
    F           C
And use them as metronomes
G       Am
For our walk home
G      C
For our walk home


[Chorus]
C                                   Am
Just do what you can to do what you love
C              Am                            C
And be mindful when someone out there gives a shit
C                      Am
I don't know where I'm going
                         D     Em     F
But it's where I want to be
F                    C
It's where I want to be


[Instrumental]
C Em F (x2)


[Verse 2]
C          Em          F
Passing by this school yard
C                      F
There's a cavity you can't see
C                 Am
Down at least two feet deep
C             Em                  F
If it was our past inside of that box
C               Am
I wouldn't just bury it beneath
Am         F
I'd keep it locked
G            Am                F              C
My Nativity scene would be the people sharing this floor
G             Am                         F
Instead of a cave let's head through the downstairs door
C        G               Am         F
Half-renovated basements make great men
     G          C
They make great men


[Chorus]
C                                   Am
Just do what you can to do what you love
C              Am                            C
And be mindful when someone out there gives a shit
C                      Am
I don't know where I'm going
                         D     Em     F
But it's where I want to be
F                    C    Em    F
It's where I want to be


[Bridge]
Am                  G                             C
This place holds my attention like a presidential speech
                                      D
But it makes my stomach turn like the college campus
                  F         Em     F    C
The first line was written on


[Chorus]
C                                   Am
Just do what you can to do what you love
C              Am                            C
And be mindful when someone out there gives a shit
C                      Am
I don't know where I'm going
                         D     Em     F
But it's where I want to be
F                    C    Em    F
It's where I want to be
