lyrics

G, Am, C, G
You wake up, it doesn’t even take up too much time,
to make up your face and change your mind and your hair is curled,
G, Am, C, G
You start out, every day you pour your heart out on the page,
you listen to advice, you act your age, and the earth is a cold dead place

(G), D, C, G, G
And/yeah the earth is a cold dead place, made of metal,
but you’re a grown woman now, and you’re gonna put a dent in the world

G, Am, C, G
You wake up, it doesn’t even take up too much time,
to make up your face and change your mind, now your hair is straight,
G, Am, C, G
In your days you think up important things, + you drink up in the evenings,
and there’s nothing like the twenty-somethings except the early thirties,
G, Am, C, G
And you wouldn’t trade the life you’ve got for anything except a lot,
you could really use a change of pace, and the earth is a cold dead place…
Chorus
G, Am, C, G
So you make up a wall hanging, that will teach you an important thing,
if you just repeat what you want to believe you just might start to believe it,
G, Am, C, G
The earth is not a cold dead place x 4
G, Am, C, G
The earth is not a cold dead place, repeating this cannot erase,
suspicion that it is the case, that the earth is a cold dead place,
Chorus x2
