Key: G

Intro:

F# C# A

Bbm           G#
Laying down inside
        C#
And you say you're not surprised
        F#    C# A Bbm
but you were

(Woah)
         F#
Now it's raining outside
               C#           F/A
But if there's rain or not
        Bbm              G#
You can tell you're not okay
         C#
From the way you hide
           F#
And you're not knowing
         C#   F/A     Bbm
What the cure is    tonight
        F#                C#    F/A
You can get all defensive silently
   Bbm             G#/C      C#
Or you can try and accept it all
F#
Let's go
C#     A/C#
You'll see
    Bbm           Bb
The latter's me

Verse 1:
F        A/C#    Dm
  I open both my eyes
                    C/E        F   Bb
And nothing's gonna get in the way
F          Am      Dm
I kept the stress alive

I need a change, alright

There's something wrong
          Bb
if you're calm in your life
        C        A/C#
And you suddenly think
            Am  Dm
That you're not feeling quitе
C/E    C    F
As you were last week
       Bb
If you stare at thе
              C
state of your yesterdays
         Dm
Problems await


Chorus:
              Bb
I'll keep the drama out my head
        C            C#
I could hang with my friends
       Dm         C/E    C     F
And be present, instead, for a while
         Bb
Keep the drama out my life
    C              Am           Dm
Get distracted and high for the moment, yeah
               Bb
I think that's enough stress for one day
       C
No one hears what we say
Dm                   C/E             F
Either way, they can think what they like
       Bb
I open up and trust my choice
         C            Adim
I'm gon' hang with my boys
    Am   Dm
And just take time, yeah


Verse 2:
           Bb
F**k my to-do list and my plans
         C       Am
I'm gon' go to Japan
Dm                 C/E C  F
Take the train, Tokyo  to Kyoto

Explore the world,
    Bb
hit Hawaii onto Lanai
       C     A
We can leave life behind,
       Dm
No problemo (No, oh-oh)

No, it wouldn't mean shit to me
         Bb
See, the point I'm at right now
       C           A
What's about to go down
     Dm          C/E    C     F
Is uncertain, it seems, every time
                   Bb
So I'm not wasting anymore
          C      Am  Dm
Time to explore, for sure, yeah, yeah
           Bb
(Uh-uh, uh-uh)


Pre-Chorus:

C          C#m
I paid the price
      Dm                 C
I let my feelings get the best of me
      F
And I left myself tonight
Bb
Embarrassment delivered
    C                       Am
And it comes as no surprise
Dm
Feelin' pain right to the limit

And it still won't sympathize


Chorus:
              Bb
I'll keep the drama out my head
         C            Am
I'm gon' hang with my friends
         Dm    C   F
And just write
              Bb
I'll keep the drama out my life
       C           A            Dm
We can go where we like, that's right
(Woah)
             Bb
Turn off the phone and keep it off
      C        Am           Dm
It's okay to ignore and log off
  Em  F  Bb  C C#m  Dm
Ooo
