Fmaj7  G  Em7
Fmaj7  G  Em7


Verse 1:
Fmaj7                          G
Nauseous in the backseat of an Uber (Oh-oh)
      Em7
Tryna sort through all my baggage
Em7
But I'm back to back in traffic
Fmaj7                             G
Beg the driver, "Can we get there sooner " (Oh)
           Em7
Shakes his head, asks my opinion on the music that he's written (Oh-oh)
Fmaj7           G          Em7
I can point out every club I've cried at before I turned eighteen (Oh-oh)
    Fmaj7            G                 Em7
The cost of living's getting high (I'd trade my soul for some peace of mind) (Mind)

Chorus:
        Fmaj7                          G
I could change up my appearance, move away across the states
        Em7
I'd get married to a stranger that one day you'll probably hate
       Fmaj7                              G
All my life I've wanted more but the lows are getting real high
      Em7
Well, wouldn't that be the life?
        Fmaj7                            G
I would drink away my problems with some poison in a can
         Em7
While my husband cheats on me with someone he says is just a friend
    Fmaj7                           G
The lack of self-awareness, I could only fantasize
      Em7
Well, wouldn't that be the life?


Verse 2:
Fmaj7                           G
What an ending for the hometown hero (Hero)
Em7
Falling off the earth just because she couldn't stand it
   Fmaj7                        G
To feel like an imposter at the local pizza parlor
         Em7
Where my high school boyfriend's married with a kid
     Fmaj7     G         Em7
It's easy to romanticize big houses and outlet paradise
    Fmaj7         G            Em7
But every night I pray to die, wouldn't be that hard to say goodbye


Chorus:
        Fmaj7                          G
I could change up my appearance, move away across the states
        Em7
I'd get married to a stranger that one day you'll probably hate
       Fmaj7                              G
All my life I've wanted more but the lows are getting real high
      Em7
Well, wouldn't that be the life?
        Fmaj7                            G
I would drink away my problems with some poison in a can
         Em7
While my husband cheats on me with someone he says is just a friend
    Fmaj7                           G
The lack of self-awareness, I could only fantasize
      Em7
Well, wouldn't that be the life?


Outro:
Fmaj7         G      Em7
Wouldn't that be the life? (Ooh-ooh)
Fmaj7         G      Em7
Wouldn't that be the life? (Ooh-ooh)
Fmaj7  G  Em7
