Intro E G#7 C#m7 A C#m7 G#7
E G#7 C#m7 A C#m7 G#7
Verse 1:
E G#7 C#m7
I spent the whole day in my head
A
Do a little spring cleanin'
C#m7 G#7
I'm always too busy dreamin', yeah
E G#7 C#m7
Well, maybe I should wake up instead
A C#m7 G#7
A lot of things I regret, but I just say, 'I forget'
E
Why can't it just be easy?
G#7 C#m7
Why does everybody need me to stay?
A
Oh, I hate the feeling
C#m7 G#7
When you're high but you're underneath the ceiling
E G#7 C#m7
Got the cards in my hand, I hate dealing, yeah
A C#m7 G#7
Get everything I need then I'm gone, but it ain't stealing
E
Can I get a break?
G#7 C#m7
I wish that I could just get out my goddamn way
A
What is there to say?
C#m7 G#7
There ain't a better time than today
E G#7 C#m7 A
But maybe I'll lay down for a little, yeah
C#m7 G#7
Instead of always trying to figure everything out
E G#7 C#m7 A
And all I do is say sorry
C#m7 G#7
Half the time I don't even know what I'm saying it about
E G#7
Good news, good news, good news
C#m7
That's all they wanna hear
A C#m7 G#7
No, they don't like you when I'm down
E G#7
But when I'm flying, oh
C#m7
It make 'em so uncomfortable
A C#m7 G#7
So different, what's the difference?
Verse 2:
E G#7
Well, it ain't that bad
C#m7
It could always be worse
A
I'm running out of gas, hardly anything left
C#m7 G#7
Hope I make it home from work
E G#7 C#m7
Well, so tired of being so tired
A C#m7 G#7
Why I gotta build something beautiful just to go set it on fire?
E G#7
I'm no liar, but
C#m7 A
Sometimes the truth don't sound like the truth.
A
Maybe 'cause it ain't
E G#7
I just love the way it sound when I say it
C#m7 G#7
Yeah, it's what I do
C#m7
If you know me, it ain't anything new
A
Wake up to the moon, haven't seen the sun in a while
C#m7 G#7
But I heard that the sky's still blue, yeah
E G#7 C#m7
I heard they don't talk about me too much no more
A C#m7 G#7
And that's a problem with a closed door
E G#7
Good news, good news, good news
C#m7
That's all they wanna hear
A C#m7 G#7
No, they don't like you when I'm down
E G#7
But when I'm flying, oh
C#m7
It make 'em so uncomfortable
A C#m7 G#7
So different, what's the difference?
Verse 3:
E G#7 C#m7
There's a whole lot more for me waitin' on the other side
A C#m7 G#7
I'm always wonderin' if it feel like summer
E G#7 C#m7
I know maybe I'm too late, I could make it there some other time
A C#m7 G#7
I'll finally discover
E G#7 C#m7
That there's a whole lot more for me waitin'
A C#m7 G#7
That there's a whole lot more for me waitin'
C#m7 G#7 C#m7 A
I know maybe I'm too late, I could make it there some other time
C#m7
Then I'll finally discover
G#7 B C#m7 G#7
That it ain't that bad, ain't so bad
E G#7 C#m7
Well it ain't that bad, mm
A C#m7 G#7
At least it don't gotta be no more
Outro
E G#7 C#m7
No more, no more, no more, no more
A C#m7 G#7
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
E G#7 C#m7 A C#m7 G#7
Hey, hey Mm, hey, mm, mm, mm
