Earth)--
                      
This is my earth and I live in it
                       
It’s one third dirt and two thirds water
       
And it rotates and revolves through space
    
At rather an impressive pace
                           
  And never even messes up my hair
    
And here’s the really weird thing
             
The force created by its spin
                                         
Is the force that stops the chaos flooding in


           A6sus2       /  /
This is my Earth .. and it’s fine
                                        
It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time
             Bm11/        
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine
          Bm11/  *
It’s not perfect

Country)--
                        
This is my country and I live in it
                   
It’s pretty big and nice to walk on 
        
And the bloke who runs my country
    
Has built a demagoguery
                                  
  And taught us to be fearful and boring
        
And the weirdest thing is that he is
           
Conservative of politics
                              
But really rather radical of eyebrow


             A6sus2       /  /
This is my country .. and it’s fine
                                        
It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time
             Bm11/        
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine
          Bm11/  *
It’s not perfect



House)--
                      
This is my house and I live in it
                       
It’s made of cracks and photographs
                                  
We rent it off a guy who bought it from a guy
                     
Who bought it from a guy
                         
Whose grandad left it to him
        
And the weirdest thing is that this house
                 
Has locks to keep the baddies out
                                       
But they’re mostly used to lock ourselves in


           A6sus2       /  /
This is my house .. and it’s fine
                                        
It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time
             Bm11/        
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine
             Bm11/        *
It’s not perfect .. but it's mine

Body)--
                     
This is my body and I live in it
           
It’s 31 and 6 months old
     
It’s changed a lot since it was new
     
It’s done stuff it wasn’t built to do
                              
  I often try to fill it up with wine
        
And the weirdest thing about it is
                
I spend so much time hating it
                              
But it never says a bad word about me


           A6sus2      /  /
This is my body .. and it’s fine
                                        
It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time
             Bm11/        
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine
          Bm11/  *
It’s not perfect



Brain)--
                      
This is my brain and I live in it
                     
It’s made of love and bad song lyrics
     
It’s tucked away behind my eyes
      
Where all my fucked up thoughts can hide
                            
  Cos God forbid I hurt somebody
        
And the weirdest thing about a mind
                
Is that every answer that you find
                              
Is the basis of a brand new cliché


           A6sus2       /  /
This is my brain .. and it’s fine
                                        
It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time
             Bm11/        
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine
             Bm11/        
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine
          Bm11/
It’s not perfect
                                          Bm11/  
I’m not quite sure I’ve worked out how to work it
             Bm11/        *
It’s not perfect .. but it's mine
