Intro
F# C# B
F# C# B
[Verse 1]
F# C# B F#
I want to cross stitch shut my eyes
C# B F#
Wage a war on the world outside
C# B G#
Brace the barricade in my mind,
B
But that’s alright
[Verse 2]
F# C# B F#
I stretch the truths ’til they lose shape
C# B F#
As support beams bend and break
C# B G#
Watch reality’s slow cascade,
B
But that’s alright
N.C.
And I’ve been thinking…
[Chorus]
F# C# D# A#
Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
B D# C#
I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay
F# C# D# A#
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
B D# C#
Ooh whoa oh oh
F# C# D# A#
Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
B D# C#
I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay
F# C# D# A#
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
B D# C#
Ooh whoa oh oh
F# C# B
[Verse 3]
F# C# B F#
I watch the sun dry out the grass
C# B F#
Hear the silence shatter glass
C# B G#
Feel perfection swerve and crash,
B
But that’s alright
G# B
Yeah, but that’s alright
[Chorus]
F# C# D# A#
Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
B D# C#
I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay
F# C# D# A#
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
B D# C#
Ooh whoa oh oh
F# C# D# A#
Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
B D# C#
I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay
F# C# D# A#
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
B D# C#
Ooh whoa oh oh
[Bridge]
D# B
Close my eyes, hope it all ends well this time
D# B C#
Close my eyes, hope it all ends well this time
Go! [Solo - listen to song for timing]
F# B C#
F# B C#
[Chorus]
F# C# D# A#
Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
B D# C#
I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay
F# C# D# A#
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
B D# C#
And that’s alright
F# C# D# A#
Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
B D# C#
I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay
F# C# D# A#
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
B D# C#
Ooh whoa oh oh
F# C# B
Whoa oh oh oh
F# C# B
Whoa oh oh oh
F# C# D# A#
Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
B D# C#
Ooh whoa oh oh
