Verse:
E *
Dropped out of college
Found myself a whole new realm of knowledge
E7 *
Down to the forest
Foraging for sounds that I can rhyme with orange
A *
Look, I'm a simple gatherer among a world of hunters
Am *
Not about chasing clout
I'd rather gaze at clouds and feel the comfort
E
Uh Oh! The trending tab
E7
Hope this won't be ending bad
A Am
Checking analytics is like working in a forensic lab
E
Oh Lord
E7
Life's getting hard
A
I'm too young for a credit card
Am * Am
And I crashed the very first time I drove my parents' car
E * E7 *
Teardrops, we've made friends between screens and deep seas
A * Am *
Steal hearts while teens scream our ears off
E *
You might not believe it
E7 *
A life full of streaming is real tough
A * Am*
It feels rough sometimes but that's the real stuff
E E7
Day by day putting on a brave face Hey!:
A Am
Playing games, taking pain straight away Yay!:
E E7
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay Wait!:
A * Am *
We all need to take a break
E E7 A Am
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
E E7 A Am
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
E E7 A Am
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
E E7 A Am
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
E *
Just tryna keep my life afloat but never quite coping
E7 *
I feel the heat beneath my collar whenever I am joking
A *
Know most people aren't evil though some really just wanna watch you burn
Am
So you're on edge and sweating, treading
Am
Making wrong turns
E
I'm treading on egg shells
E7
Laying on a bed of nails
A Am
Don't you take a wrong step or else you'll get impaled
E
I'm just a happy guy
E7
Paddling through the angry tide
A
Online emotions amplified
Am
I try to let it pass me by
E *
Can't keep everybody pacified, satisfied, appetites
E7 *
My frazzled and distracted mind is acting like a satellite
E *
So many transmissions
E7 *
Every day I'm twitching
A *
Wishing that things were just an itty bit different
Am *
I know I shouldn't complain at the end of the day but it's a British tradition
E *
Day by day putting on a brave face Ay!:
E7 *
Playing games, taking pain straight away
A *
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay Wait!:
Am *
We all need to take a break
E
Day by day putting on a brave face Ay!:
E7
Playing games, taking pain straight away
A
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay Wait!:
Am *
We all need to take a break
E E7
So I'll be chilling when the tide is low Oh woah:
A Am
'Cause I wanna take it slow Oh woah:
E E7
And I can't sing the next note
A Am
But I brought a bro Oh!:
E * E7 * A
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
A Am Am *
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
E E7 A Am
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
E E7 A Am E *
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea.
