Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Difficulty: Intermediate 💪
Key: Bb

Verse 1:
Eb                       Gm7          Bb
He wakes up at 6:03 to a coffee and a kiss
Eb                       Gm7              F
I wake up at 1:30 to the eighteen calls I missed
Eb
He drives to work, I drive myself crazy
Gm7                  Bb
What if so wise in a town full of maybes
Eb                       Gm7               F
He gets home at 5:05 and I'm still getting ready


Pre-Chorus:
      Eb
Oh my God
Gm7              Bb             Eb
Everything, everywhere all at once
            Gm7             F
I hope he's having fun over there because


Chorus:
Eb
One left town and the other one settled down
Gm7                   Dm7
Round and round and I can't figure out
Eb
Who's happier?
Gm7   F
Who's happier?
Eb
One got things and the other got a ring
Gm7                    Dm
Different dreams and I can't help but think
Eb
Who's happier?
Gm7   F
Who's happier?
Gm7   F   Bb         Eb
Me or the boy I almost was


Verse 2:
Eb                                  Gm7            Dm
He goes out to walk the dogs in his warmest winter coat
Eb
I go walk the boulevard
               Gm7                  F
'Cause there's always summer on the west coast
Eb
Sun on my face and gold in my chain
   Gm7                Dm
If he saw me now he'd say that I changed
    Eb
And that's okay people do
             Gm7              F
One of us is better off but I don't know who


Chorus:
Eb
One left town and the other one settled down
Gm7                   Dm7
Round and round and I can't figure out
Eb
Who's happier?
Gm7   F
Who's happier?
Eb
One got things and the other got a ring
Gm7                    Dm
Different dreams and I can't help but think
Eb
Who's happier?
Gm7   F
Who's happier?
Gm7   F   Bb         Eb
Me or the boy I almost was


Bridge:
Gm7
Bb              Eb
  Who's got the half that's whole?
              Gm7        Bb
Who's got the life they want?
                Eb
Who's found the one to hold?
             Gm7    F Gm7
Who's really got it all?


Chorus:
Eb
One left town and the other one settled down
Gm7                   Dm7
Round and round and I can't figure out
Eb
Who's happier?
Gm7   F
Who's happier?
Eb
One got things and the other got a ring
Gm7                    Dm
Different dreams and I can't help but think
Eb
Who's happier?
Gm7   F
Who's happier?
Gm7   F   Bb         Eb
Me or the boy I almost was
