Tom: G

G                           Em
I feel like anybody else does
G                       Em
I feel like anybody would
G                           C
I feel like talkin’, but my feet, they feel like walkin’
Em                                     Am
So I start to walk and it feels pretty good.
G                              Em    G                          Em
I saw your book inside a storefront, they had it listed at half price.
G                             C
I saw your book inside a window, so I bought it
Em                                      Am
And I brought it home and read it twice tonight.

[Verse 2]
G                          Em
I feel like anybody else now
G                            Em
It’s not as bad as you might infer.
G                       Em
My feet start jumpin’ and my heart it gets to pumpin’
Em                                 Am
And it taps and whirs just like a typewriter.

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
G             Am           C            Am
I wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart.
    Em                    Am
For making art, that makes us feel better,
    G        Am        C                   Em              Am
Oh, thank you from the bottom of my heart, for making art, for making art.
N.C.
I feel like anybody else.

[Verse 3]
G                     Em
I was dreaming of the future
G                         Em
Except the future was the past.
G                          C
And I kept dreaming everything I thought was coming,
Em                                      Am
Started coming much too soon and much too fast.
G                        Em  G                           Em
And that table was an atlas, where I wrote letters to my mom.
G                     C                     Em                                     Am
And that pen it was a breath and that breath was the beginning to my very favorite song.
G                     C                                Em                            Am
And I woke up with a start, with all this singing in my heart and i started to play along.

[Chorus]
G             Am           C            Am
I wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Em            Am         C
For making art, that makes us feel better,
G                 Am         C          Am     Em              Am
Oh, thank you from the bottom of my heart, for making art, for making art.
  G                     Em G Em G Em G
I feel like anybody else.
