C
Living the dream
C                           D
At least what the dream used to be
D                               F
There's people I don't know that know me
F                      D
I'm quite well off relatively
C                                  D
Writer's block accompanied by some depression
D                         Fmaj7       F
Without these songs, what am I worth?
F          Fmaj7          D7            D
If I'm not singing no one hears my words
C#7    Cmaj7 C# Cmaj7
Except her


[Chorus]
F
My backyard tree doesn't know what she needs
Cmaj7
Or what she wants, she just grows on
Gm
She left me so low to the ground
F       Fmaj7
She left me here without a sound
Fmaj7
Paper news and pay per views
Cmaj7
They're all but gone, but my tree lives on
Gm
Asked her how she came to survive
F
She whispered, "The mindless will thrive"


[Verse 2]
C                        D
Day one at my therapist's building
D                       F
All these cars are so expensive
F                          D7           C#  Cmaj7 C# Cmaj7
I guess the money brings expenses (well pay up)
C                                          D
So run along through this life with no sure ending
D                        F
Create what you like and break the rest
F                          D                   C# Cmaj7 C# Cmaj7
There's hope for more than just the best (prob-ab-ly)


[Chorus]
F
My backyard tree doesn't know what she needs
Cmaj7
Or what she wants, she just grows on
Gm7            Gm
She left me so low to the ground
F
She left me here without a sound
F                      Cmaj7
Paper news and pay per views
Cmaj7
They're all but gone, but my tree lives on
Gm
Asked her how she came to survive
F
She whispered, "The mindless will thrive"
