Here Lies A Rambler

[Verse]
F
I don't know what you're looking for in me
          Bb
But I can guarantee it's not gonna be
           F
What you'd see
   F
In any other artist
F
I've written songs about carbon and buses and drunks
     Bb9
It's hard to think of a word I haven't sung
    C
But despite all those topics and subjects and lines
  Bb
I can't escape the fact that I'm just shit at rhymes
     C5
I'll trade honesty for wordplay and I'd do it anyday
Bb9                 Bb7               F
Honestly who writes honesty honestly anyway?
 
 
[Chorus]
    F5                F
Coz polite discussion ain’t my thing
     Bb5                   Bb
I’ll just have to stick to jazz chords and ranting
      G5                                      C5
And I got no clue what my legacy'll be when I die
C                   C5
(When I die, when I die)
     Bb9                                 Bb7    F
Here buried with a piano is some musical goblin guy
F                   F
(Goblin guy, goblin guy)
   C5              Bb7
He wasn't a musician
Bb          F
Here lies a ramblеr!
F            F
(Here lies a ramblеr)
 
 
[Verse]
F
I genuinely hate mainstream-loved songs
  Bb
I reckon the auto tune phase has gone on too long
         F
And if I hear one more pop song with the same four chords
   Bb7
Or one more person choosing Taytay over Folds
  F
I might just fuckin cry
  Bb
I can't be mainstream even if I try
  C
I trade good music for average metaphors
           Bb7
But when I make a stupid meta metaphor
    C
I'm making that meta metaphor for you
   Bb          Bb7      F
My metaphor is meta for you
 
 
[Bridge]
      Dm7/A                  Db/F
And I know this song needs a bridge of some kind
      Dm7          Dm          Db/F
But I just can't get past this wall in my mind
        F
So... fuck it
 
 
[Chorus]
    F5                 F
Coz four chord ballads ain’t my thing
          Bb5              Bb9/F
I’ll just have to stick to jazz chords and ranting
      G5                                      G/C
And I got no clue what my legacy'll be when I die
C5                  C5
(When I die, when I die)
     Bb9                                 Bb7    F
Here buried with a piano is some musical goblin guy
F                   F
(Goblin guy, goblin guy)
   C5              Bb7
He wasn't a musician
Bb          F
Here lies a ramblеr!
F            F
(Here lies a ramblеr)

[Verse]
F
I don't play many huge gigs
        Bb
I'm not raking in cash by the figs
    F
But perhaps maybe if you're ever at a party
         Bb7
Taking a break from drunks looking for someone arty
    F
You might find there’s a guy in the corner of a room
        Bb                          Bb7          Bbmaj13
Playing piano for hours, just some random fuckin blues
    C
And even though he sits now smashing away at the keys
          Bb
He’s just begging for some sweet release
        C
Without worrying over inevitabilities and ends
           Bb                            Bb7           F
And he can feel good about his piano and listen to his friends
 
 
[Chorus]
    F5                            F
Coz self confidence in music just ain't his thing
   Bb9                Bb5
He just sticks to bad chords and ranting
         G5                                        C5
And he's got no clue what his legacy'll be when he dies
C                      C5
(When he dies, when he dies)
     Bb                                  Bb7    F
Here buried with a piano is some musical goblin guy
F                   F
(Goblin guy, goblin guy)
   C5              Bb7
He wasn't a musician
Bb          F
Here lies a ramblеr!
F            F
(Here lies a ramblеr)
