Verse 1:
           Ebm           B       Gb
We lit a flame just to watch it burn
                   Ebm       B            Gb
Have we lost our roots, our ties to the earth
            Ebm      B
What I have seen
         Db     Ebm
has made me believe
            Ebm              Ab
That we've buried ourself in paperwork
  B                   Gb
Instead of planting trees

Interlude -x2-: Ebm  Gb  Ebm  B

Chorus:
Ebm         B
Kick back, relax
Db                   Gb
Buddy, don't have a heart attack
Ebm                 B               Db         Gb
What's the harm in wanting to play some good tunes?
           Ebm         B
It's your loss, not mine
                     Db        Gb       Ebm               Ab
We just wanted to improve the lives of all those people trapped inside
 B                  Gb
Dealing with their paperwork

Interlude: 
   Gb     B Db Gb  -x2-
   A      Ab   Gb

Verse 2:
           Ebm     B
There are rules
        Db         Gb
that appeared in place
        Ebm   B
In our minds
        Db        Gb
And in there they stay
              Ebm   B
It's in our heads!
      Db      Ebm
Why can't you see-
            Ebm              Ab
That we've buried ourself in paperwork
  B                   Gb
Instead of planting seeds, oh

Chorus:
Ebm         B
Kick back, relax
Db                   Gb
Buddy, don't have a heart attack
Ebm                 B               Db         Gb
What's the harm in wanting to play some good tunes?
           Ebm         B
It's your loss, not mine
                     Db        Gb       Ebm               Ab
We just wanted to improve the lives of all those people trapped inside
 B                  Gb
Dealing with their paperwork

Verse 3:
              Ebm     B
We hauled our souls
        Db         Gb
Through the dull and plain
      Ebm   B
When every day
      Db        Gb
felt exactly the same
                  Ebm            B
We've taught our hands the disci-pline to spread
Db             Ebm
Love to the streets
            Ebm              Ab
So don't bother us with paperwork
    B                   Gb
Instead, go plant some trees, oh

Chorus:
Ebm         B
Kick back, relax
Db                   Gb
Buddy, don't have a heart attack
Ebm                 B               Db         Gb
What's the harm in wanting to play some good tunes?
           Ebm         B
It's your loss, not mine

We just wanted to improve the lives of all those people trapped inside

We buried ourselves in paperwork
   B                 Gb
Instead of planting trees
    Ebm                Ab
Buried ourselves in paperwork
   B                 Gb
Instead of planting seeds

We buried ourself in paperwork
   B              Gb
Instead of bein' free
