Helplessness Blues

Fleet Foxes

Verse 1: I was raised up believing I was somehow unique Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes Unique in each way you can see Verse 2: And now after some thinking I'd say I'd rather be A functioning cog in some great machinery Serving something beyond me But I don't, I don't know what that will be I'll get back to you someday soon you will see Verse 3: What's my name, what's my station Oh just tell me what I should do I don't need to be kind to the armies of night That would do such injustice to you Verse 4: Or bow down and be grateful And say "Sure take all that you see" To the men who move only in dimly-lit halls And determine my future for me And I don't, I don't know who to believe I'll get back to you someday soon you will see Verse 6: If I know only one thing It's that every thing that I see Of the world outside is so inconceivable Often I barely can speak Yeah I'm tongue tied and dizzy And I can't keep it to myself What good is it to sing helplessness blues? Why should I wait for anyone else? And I know, I know you will keep me on the shelf I'll come back to you someday soon myself Short Instrumental: Choral Section: If I had an orchard ) I'd work till I'm raw If i had an orchard I'd work till I'm sore And you would wait tables And soon run the store Gold hair in the sunlight ) My light in the dawn If I had an orchard I'd work till I'm sore If I had an orchard I'd work till I'm sore Harmony Verse - follow same chord pattern as before... Someday I'll be Like the man on the screen
