      These Things Are Nice 








Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: B

[Verse]
E                     B
Like cigarettes light ribbons
           G#m
In the red light district
           F#
Where they intersect like rhythms
E                          G#m
You look at life through a prism
             B
Willing to split the difference,
    C#m           F#
If only for the right schism
E              B
Elegance takes percision
      G#m
Catch flies with simple syrup,
C#m
Sacrifice pure vision
E          F#
Truth is a nervous system
B
Balanced on the precipice
    C#m    F#
Of perfect wisdom
 
[Bridge]
E
Who’s gonna marry me now?
    B
Or carry me out?
    G#m      F#
Or stare me down?
E
Downstairs, the fair’s letting out
    B
The affair’s getting out
     G#m              F#
Who cares? It’s just sound
 
[Verse]
E                   B
Like innocence? Try prison.
               G#m
Like you won’t take deliverance,
   F#
Whatever hole you find it in.
E              G#m
Violence is a given
                B
From the other side of the fence,
     C#m       F#
It’s just like television
E                            B
I’ll admit there’s been some dereliction.
     G#m              F#
I’ll seek forgiveness, you get the permissions.
E                   C#m              B
Life’s a bit like a burn victim: we see its
                   E
Harsh reality, and yet we prefer fiction.
 
[Chorus]
B
Like, this is nice.
    F#    E
But is it worth it?
                    B
Does it justify its price?
                  F#        E
Does it serve its worthless purpose?
                       B
Will you heed your own advice?
               F#      E
If you want to make it work
                               B
It’s best to check everything twice
                   F#      E
In lieu of two new sets of eyes,
 
Incentivize some passersby...
 
E C#m
 
[Verse]
    B
She feels no strings inside her stomach
E
But that doesn’t mean they're not there
                B
Much less never were
                  C#m
And the audiences love it
E                        B
Their expectations plummet
                     F#         E
I bring to mind the things she’s signed but
                               B
She’s long since memorized her lines
                       F#
And she’s terrified in public
E
Objectified by her subjects
 
[Bridge]
 E
“Who’s gonna marry me now?
B                        G#m        F#
Where are we now? You’re wearing me out.”
E                                      B
If you want ‘em to care ten years from now,
            F#
Then here’s how. Shout:
 
[Chorus]
B                          F#       E
These things are nice, but it ain’t worth it
                       B
I been wasted half my life.
                        F#     E
I been trained to think I deserve it.
                              B
I’ve been dumb and deaf and blind.
 
This ain’t right.
F#      E                            B
I ain’t perfect. I ain’t trying to say...
 
Things are nice.
    F#       E
But it ain’t worth it. It ain’t worth it. Come on.
