C         Am               F      G
I love TV sitcoms and soap operas

  Cliff-hanger, re-run courtroom dramas
C          Am           F      G
All intelligence is artificial
C                 Am          F      G
We're just making love on a malistic missile

  Don't let them tell you how to feel

Hey, what's the big idea?

  You can make plans for the aftermath
C           Am                 F       G
  Or try to make your favorite person laugh
C           Am                  F      G
  You know exactly where you're going
C         Am            F     G
  Your to-do list is an epic poem

Chorus:
G                Am   G   C      F

Verse 3:
C                 Am         F    G
  I brought poppy seeds to a gun fight
C         Am           F        G
  I put a match to an electric tea light
C             Am            F        G
  I feel your heart beating in your hair
C          Am                F       G
  Drinking fresh milk at the county fair
Am          G                 F      G
   Now everything else at the moment
Am          G              F      G
   Is just slowly stealing focus
Am       G           F      G
   And I open like a lotus
Am   G                 F      G
   Enlightened and completely hopeless

Chorus:
G                Am   G   C      F
  Don't let them tell you how to feel
            Am    G      C    F
You don't believe in the big idea
G                Am   G   C      F
  Don't let them tell you how to feel
            Am    G      C    F
You don't believe in the big idea

I saw the best parts of my generation (I got a big idea)
   Fm                   D        F
Dismantled the system only to replace it
Fm            C              D           F
Huddled 'round burnin' while looking for love
    Fm            C         D            F
I believe in one God that nobody should trust
