Selfish Art

	  		 
 


C 
Sometimes 
                   G        E    
Making songs for a living 
Am           G               F 
Feels like living to make songs                   
       C 
And sometimes 
                G       E     
I get an uneasy feeling 
Am        G               F 
That I'm doing something wrong 

       Am                 G/B    C      F 
'Cause nothing really feels like home 

    Am              G/B  C     F 
And I just want to be alone 
 C              G/B             C             Dm       G 
Calculate the hours till the power in the well goes dry 



                     C 
I'm watching as the stage goes black 
                  G     
How long until we all go back 
                    Am 
To being nothing at all 
               G                 F 
Nothing but a spark in someone's eye 
                C  
Am I giving all that I can give 
                 G         E 
Am I earning the right to live 
                Am 
By looking in a mirror 
                     G                    F 
There's nothing more sincere than selfish art 




C 
Sometimes 
                  G     E  
I got nothing to say 
                   Am                        G               F 
I think breaking a heart Could maybe be the start of some new page                 
            C 
And sometimes 
                G       E     
I play a couple war games 
       Am       G            F              G 
Using live ammunition So I can fix what I'm missing 

Am         G         F                G 
Most of my songs are true 

Am         G         F            Dm 
Most of my songs are due to some broken people 
            G             (C-C-C)    G 
So I could write a single 


                     C 
I'm watching as the stage goes black 
                  G     
How long until we all go back 
                    Am 
To being nothing at all 
               G                 F 
Nothing but a spark in someone's eye 
                C  
Am I giving all that I can give 
                 G         E 
Am I earning the right to live 
                Am 
By looking in a mirror 
                     G                    F 
There's nothing more sincere than selfish art 


                     C

To being nothing at all 
               G                 F 
Nothing but a spark in someone's eye 
                C

                        Am           G      F          G 
There's nothing more sincere than an empty heart 
                      Am          G          F         G 
There's nothing more sincere than who we are 
                   end on C 
Than who we are
