Key: D

Verse 1:
D           D           D
I’ll make a home in the country
                 D          D           D
And I’ll take up hydrating, journaling, taking care of my body
D*  D* D      D*   D*   D   G
I’m immune to boys like you now
                D                D          D
I’ll be picking strawberries and planting a lemon tree
                 D          D               D
And I won’t skip sunscreen, I’ll donate old jeans that don’t fit me
D*   D*  D    D*   D* D      G
I’ll let time kiss me on the cheek
              D                    D          D
My love’s not withholding, there’s joy in not knowing
              D
Take what I’m given
    D      D
And when I stand by the ocean
D* A*   D      D*   A*   D    G
I won’t think, I’ll just jump in

Pre-Chorus:
      Bm                      A                    G
Doggy paddle in my underwear, forgot how I love to swim

Chorus:
                Bm   A      G
But when will I ever get to it?

Instrumental:

Verse 2:
               D
My garden will die
        A               D
I’ll be on the road for 6 weeks
                 D        A           D
But I’m up there shining, headlining, big stages, big cities
D*      A* D          D* A* D       G
There’s no sleep, but every day’s a dream

Pre-Chorus:
     Bm                       A                   G
I’ll defy the probability and everyone’s proud of me

Chorus:
                Bm   A      G
But when will I ever get to it?
            Bm          A               G
And would I actually be happy even if I did?
            Bm   A      G
When will I ever get to it?
          Bm    A      G
What if I never get to it?

Outro:
D           A           D
(And if it all adds up)
I’ll make a home in the country
D          A        D
(Would it be enough)
Out on the road for 6 weeks
   D            A          D
(Where does that leave us)
In one life I’m planting a lemon tree
   D           A         D
(Wondering what’s to come)
In one life my garden is dying
   D        A           D
(What if it all adds up)
I wonder if I’ll have a baby
    D          A           D
(And it’s not enough)
Headlining big stages, big cities
  D           A             D
(Where would that leave us)
I know that I can’t take it with me
         G                G                  G                  D     A
But if I get it all, if I get it all, do you think that I’ll be happy?
     G                G                  G                  D     A
If I get it all, if I get it all, do you think that I’ll be happy?
     G                G                  G                  D
If I get it all, if I get it all, do you think that I’ll be happy?
