Earth)--
            A          E
This is my earth and I live in it
     D                  Dm
It’s one third dirt and two thirds water
       A
And it rotates and revolves through space
    A7
At rather an impressive pace
D                Dm           A
  And never even messes up my hair
    F#m
And here’s the really weird thing
    Bsus4         B
The force created by its spin
       D                    A              E
Is the force that stops the chaos flooding in


        Bsus2   A6sus2       Dsus2/H  Dsus2/A
This is my Earth .. and it’s fine
     E                            C#       F#m
It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time
         Bm    Bm11/A        A
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine
         Bm Bm11/A  D*
It’s not perfect

Country)--
           A             E
This is my country and I live in it
     D              Dm
It’s pretty big and nice to walk on 
        A
And the bloke who runs my country
    A7
Has built a demagoguery
D                     Dm             A
  And taught us to be fearful and boring
        F#m
And the weirdest thing is that he is
   Bsus4        B
Conservative of politics
    D             A             E
But really rather radical of eyebrow


        Bsus2     A6sus2       Dsus2/H  Dsus2/A
This is my country .. and it’s fine
     E                            C#       F#m
It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time
         Bm    Bm11/A        A
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine
         Bm Bm11/A  D*
It’s not perfect



House)--
           A           C#
This is my house and I live in it
     D                  Dm
It’s made of cracks and photographs
   A                               A7
We rent it off a guy who bought it from a guy
                     D
Who bought it from a guy
              Dm           A
Whose grandad left it to him
        F#m
And the weirdest thing is that this house
    Bsus4             B
Has locks to keep the baddies out
            D              A             E
But they’re mostly used to lock ourselves in


        Bsus2   A6sus2       Dsus2/H  Dsus2/A
This is my house .. and it’s fine
     E                            C#       F#m
It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time
         Bm    Bm11/A        A
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine
         Bm    Bm11/A        G*
It’s not perfect .. but it's mine

Body)--
           A          E
This is my body and I live in it
     D      Dm
It’s 31 and 6 months old
     A
It’s changed a lot since it was new
     A7
It’s done stuff it wasn’t built to do
D                Dm              A
  I often try to fill it up with wine
        F#m
And the weirdest thing about it is
  Bsus4              B
I spend so much time hating it
       D            A           E
But it never says a bad word about me


        Bsus2   A6sus2      Dsus2/H  Dsus2/A
This is my body .. and it’s fine
     E                            C#       F#m
It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time
         Bm    Bm11/A        A
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine
         Bm Bm11/A  D*
It’s not perfect



Brain)--
           A           C#
This is my brain and I live in it
     D                Dm
It’s made of love and bad song lyrics
     A
It’s tucked away behind my eyes
      A7
Where all my fucked up thoughts can hide
D                  Dm          A
  Cos God forbid I hurt somebody
        F#m
And the weirdest thing about a mind
        Bsus4        B
Is that every answer that you find
       D          A             E
Is the basis of a brand new cliché


        Bsus2   A6sus2       Dsus2/H  Dsus2/A
This is my brain .. and it’s fine
     E                            C#       F#m
It’s where I spend the vast majority of my time
         Bm    Bm11/A        A
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine
         Bm    Bm11/A        A
It’s not perfect .. but it’s mine
         Bm Bm11/A
It’s not perfect
    A                                     Bm Bm11/A  A
I’m not quite sure I’ve worked out how to work it
         Bm    Bm11/A        G*
It’s not perfect .. but it's mine
