Exactly What Nobody Wanted

A F#m Bm D
(x2)


[Verse]
         A                           F#m
You were throwing off sparks of pure power
        Bm                     D
Sending signals from a mystery tower
           A                         F#m
You didn't bother making sure it was sinking
         Bm                           D
It was a different way of working and thinking
         A                            F#m
You were really wild and completely expressive
    Bm                          D
So creative, and intense, and obsessive
         A                      F#m
You were practically completely beyond it
             Bm                       D
And you were exactly just what nobody wanted

A F#m Bm D


[Verse]
         A                            F#m
You were conscious and responsive and present
            Bm                         D
You weren't trying to make something unpleasant
              A                                F#m
You were just bouncing off of things that were trashy
           Bm                   D
And it was never very tricky or flashy
          A                           F#m
You had a vision that was clear and directed
        Bm                         D
And the way the words were all unexpected
             A                       F#m
You were unbelievable and you were undaunted
          Bm                      D
You were exactly just what nobody wanted

A F#m D


[Chorus]
                    A           F#m         D
But to me it was so awesome, so awesome, so awesome.
   A           F#m           D
So awesome, so awesome, just awesome.

[Verse]
              A                         F#m
It was like a focus in on what had been brewing
          Bm                              D
You did a thing that no one else had been doing
              A                                   F#m
You were just small to see what made this or that tick
          Bm                                 D
Maybe you flipped it over so it all seemed galactic
       A                      F#m
It was crazy but you nearly believed it
            Bm                          D
You gave it everything and lived it and breathed it
           A                                    F#m
You made a space where all these good things collided
              Bm                   D
And it made approximately no one excited


[Verse]
             A                           F#m
It's hard to speak about the stuff you invented
        Bm                         D
It was unique in how it all got presented
           A                            F#m
It hit the mark and never stopped going forward
           Bm                                  D
Out of the darkness and with no signs and with no words
            A                             F#m
You spoke a language that was instant and brutal
            Bm                         D
And it made all the art around it seem futile
           A                         F#m
You did it well and you could even repeat it
             Bm                       D
And that was exactly just what nobody needed

A F#m D


[Chorus]
                    A           F#m         D
But to me it was so awesome, so awesome, so awesome.
   A           F#m           D
So awesome, so awesome, just awesome.

[Bridge]
  F#m                   Dm
A long time waiting and leaving
             F#m                    Dm
And that's a good, weird faith to believe in
  F#m                       Dm
A mirror needs depth and an angle
          F#m
Where the light waves wiggle and tangle
       F#m
So if someone else had all your same concentration
           Dm
They still couldn't reach the same destination

[Verse]
               A                           F#m
There's really something anywhere you look closely
      Bm                      D
But a lot of it could come or go mostly
                   A                          F#m
But when something really comes a way that pretenses
          Bm                           D
Something really takes a swing for the fences
          A                           F#m
Something really knocks it out of the borders
       Bm                    D
And rearranges all the usual orders
        A                              F#m
That's exactly what the track you were on did
              Bm                      D
And that was exactly just what nobody wanted



[Verse]
           A                         F#m
A reserved seat, you fought it and receded
            Bm                    D
You were so perfectly what nobody needed
              A                         F#m
You pushed as far as you could make an idea go
      Bm                  D
With exactly an impact of zero
           A                     F#m
And basically the public never responded
             Bm                   D
You were so amazingly what nobody wanted
          A                           F#m
I held on tight to every scrap that I took in
           Bm                       D
But it all happened when nobody was looking



[Chorus]
                    A           F#m         D
But to me it was so awesome, so awesome, so awesome.
            A           F#m           D
You were so awesome, so awesome, just awesome.
