Intro 1
(G major) (D major) (E minor) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (E minor) (C major) (E minor)
(C major) (G major)
Verse 1
(G major) Knock knock,
are you (D major) there?
Sorry (E minor) (C major) to wake you, my fellow (G major) bear
I'll slip this song under a rock somewhere
So (D major) you can hear it when it's
(C major) summer (G major) (E minor) (C major) (G major)
It hurts to hear you been ex (D major) hausted
I've seen (E minor) too (C major) many people
'round (G major) me haunted
By the cruelest (C major) (G major) to- do lists
(D major) Longer than the end credits of
movies (G major) (E minor) (C major) (G major)
It shocked me to hear about (D major) Avicii
Did you see (C major) that document (G major) ary?
I read Avicii means (C major) hell in Buddhism (G major)
And (D major) hell is what his dream had (C major) become (G major)
(E minor) (C major) (G major) That scene (E minor) when he tried
to cancel those shows
Made me (D major) think back on some
years (G major) ago
So scared (E minor) of (C major) letting anyone down
I (G major) worked myself slowly in
(E minor) to the ground (A minor) (G major)
Felt the (E minor) cortisol pumping
through my sleep
When an ad flashed (D major) by (E minor) in my
(G major) Facebook feed
A cheap (C major) DNA cloning kit
Didn't (G major) know (B minor) tech (G major) nology had made
it there yet (C major) (A minor) (G major)
Connected it to a (D major) USB hub
Dabbed saliva (E minor) (C major) on a cotton (G major) bud
Gave my passwords (C major) to
all (G major) my email accounts
And (D major) slowly a body rose from
(E minor) the ground (C major) (G major)
With more clones of me we
would (D major) have more time
One (E minor) could write (C major) the tune
and the (G major) other the rhymes
A third could fo (C major) cus on the business (G major)
And a fourth (D major) would send greeting
cards for Christ (C major) mas (E minor) (C major) (G major)
But soon (E minor) our focus fell apart
I said "guys, (D major) (E minor) if all of (D major) us do our (G major) part
We could (C major) make it to the moon with our art
(G major) Not because it's easy,
but be (D major) cause (A minor) it's hard (G major)
But be (A minor) cause it's hard" (G major)
I heard the clones bragging (D major)
About (E minor) all the (C major) sleep
they'd been (G major) missing
They posted (C major) vids of them (G major) sipping
On a (D major) smoothie while their eyes
were twitch (E minor) (C major) ing (E minor) (C major) (G major)
Coffee for lunch, (D major) email for dinner
In those (E minor) press (C major) photos we've
(G major) never looked thinner
Exhaustion (C major) only happens to a winner (G major)
Wear (D major) it like a badge of hon (C major) our (G major) (E minor) (C major) (G major)
It was (E minor) not until clone number one
Was hospit (D major) alized with palpitations (G major)
That they (C major) asked themselves
what they'd done
And were (G major) horrified by what
they (B minor) (G major) had become (A minor) (G major)
And the slaves (E minor) turned on their master
Filmed (D major) me while they
kicked my as (G major) s there
And (C major) posted it with the caption
"S (G major) mash (B minor) the cap (G major) ital
(B minor) ist sys (G major) (E minor) tem" (C major)
(A minor) (G major) So I hope you slept
well in your (D major) bear's den
I hope (C major) you're back on your feet (G major) again
But if you should (C major) need the time (G major) to
Take (D major) the next month off and I'll cover (G major) (C major) for you
