Verse 1:
A Bm Dbm D
I lost the passion that comes with living
A Bm Dbm D
Since I started university
A Bm Dbm
I took a geography course to learn the datelines
D
And maybe use a sextant
A Bm Dbm D
But now I just press facsimiles
Verse 2:
A Bm Dbm
And you're exactly who you wanted to be
D
That's what you said
A Bm Dbm D
'Cause you wanna watch TV and sleep all day and lay in bed but
A Bm Dbm D
You're forgetting that I've got to go to work and eat my food
A Bm Dbm
And pay my rent and reproduce and feed those kids
D
And maybe use a sextant
Pre-chorus:
Gbm Abm A
I don't miss you
Dbm D
I miss the thought of what we were
Chorus:
A Bm Dbm D
This is the part where I shut up and let you infest my brain
A Bm Dbm D
Wrap your arms around my cortex, dig you in and let you drain
A Bm Dbm D
You'll never get rid of me, oh I'm like a xxxxxxx disease
A Bm Dbm
I'll make a home in your gut
D
'Cause it's somewhere warm to sleep
Verse 3:
A Bm Dbm
What was your thought when you realised
D
You'll never feel naive love again?
A Bm Dbm
Was it pain or was it sickness?
D
Were you proud of who you'd been?
A Bm Dbm
The shyness waiting for his phone calls
D A
Replaced by apathy and dating apps
Bm Dbm
You held his hands, it felt like flying
D
Now he's just another man
Verse 4:
A Bm Dbm D
You'd rather he was inside than beside you
A Bm Dbm D
But he's talking marriage and a future
A Bm Dbm D
He's picking a lock he doesn't go into
A Bm Dbm D
He's knife in a wound, he's a suture
Pre-chorus:
Gbm Abm A
I don't miss you
Dbm D
I miss the thought of what we were
Chorus:
A Bm Dbm D
This is the part where I shut up and let you infest my brain
A Bm Dbm D
Wrap your arms around my cortex, dig you in and let you drain
A Bm Dbm D
You'll never get rid of me, oh I'm like a xxxxxxx disease
A Bm Dbm
I'll make a home in your gut
D
'Cause it's somewhere warm to sleep
Bridge:
A Bm Dbm
It's okay
D A
Anything to make me feel less numb
Bm Dbm
It's okay
D A
Anything to make me feel less numb
Bm Dbm
It's okay
D A
Anything to make me feel less numb
Bm Dbm D
It's okay
Outro:
A Bm Dbm
Eat my rent and eat my food
D A
And eat my dues and eat those kids (it's okay)
D
And maybe use a sextant

6 ukulele chords used in "It’s All Futile! It’s All Pointless!" by Lovejoy: A, Bm, Dbm, D, Gbm and Abm
why is sextant censored? its tool to measure to points to an angle i believe! not bothered but i just noticed !
I LOVE THIS SONGGG
added an extra A at the end after the last line to give it a finishing touch 😉
if your struggling with ‘dbm’ try using ‘dm’ instead! 😀
-2 is easy :))
<<<<3333
If anyone’s struggling with Dbm try barring the 4th fret 🙂
+3 🙂
If you’re finding this too difficult (don’t worry I do too lmao) use c, dminor, eminor and f! When you get to the bit which goes ‘i don’t miss you I miss the thought of what we were’ use aminor, c, eminor, f! But only for those two lines
+1 is easy and sounds the most accurate to the original!
+3, +5, -2 and -4 are all also easy bit don’t work with my voice as well. Hope this helps!
The strumming I use is DDU DU for the chorus and D D D for the bridge/verses
-2 capo on second fret 🙂
for those struggling with dbm i just do 1st fret for g and c and none for the others
anybody have the strumming pattern?
i love it!
