Declan McKenna - Nothing Works

[Intro]
D D#

[Verse 1]
A
What’s the point, muffin?
F#
I don’t believe in nothin’ anymore
Bm G
You tell me I don’t relate to the kids no more
D
Now, I feel like I’m letting them down

A
What’s the point runnin’?
F#
Not like I’m up-and-comin’ anymore
Bm G
So what if they hear me on my bathroom floor?
D
I’m sure they’re big enough now

[Pre-Chorus]

A
But, of course, I’ll re-implore you
G D
On the kind of nation that we have
A
You’ve either been on your own too long
G D
Or it just feels like that (It just feels like that)

A
So tell me if I’m stuck or movin’ on up
G D
That’s a conversation to be had
A
Have I been livin’ on my own too long
G D
Or does it just feel like that?

[Chorus]

A
When I sing the song and you didn’t like the verse
G D
I try to fix myself but nothing works
A
I sing the song and you didn’t like the words
~
I try to fix myself but nothing

Nothing

[Verse 2]

A
What’s the point, Martin?
F#
Don’t you be startin’ anymore
Bm G
They told me I was the fat cat kid for a minute
D
But they’re the ones who are doin’ us proud

A
Well, what’s the point runnin’?
F#
Not like I’m up-and-comin’ anymore
Bm G
So what if they hear me singin’ “I love war”?
D
I’m sure they’re big enough now

[Pre-Chorus]

A
But, of course, I’ll re-implore you
G D
On the kind of nation that we have
A
You’ve either been on your own too long
G D
Or it just feels like that (It just feels like that)

A
So tell me if I’m stuck or movin’ up
G D
Now that’s a conversation to be had
A
Have I been talkin’ to myself all along
G D
Or do I just sound like that?

[Chorus]

A
When I sing the song and you didn’t like the verse
D G D
I try to fix myself but nothing works
A
I sing the song and you didn’t like the words
G D
I try to fix myself but nothing works

A
I feel wrong, I feel rehearsed
G D
I try to fix myself but nothing works
A
I sing the song and you didn’t like the words
G
I try to fix myself but
