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

Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?

And that’s alright
F C D A
Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?

I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay

Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
