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

Close my eyes, hope it all ends well this time
Go! [Solo - listen to song for timing]

And that’s alright

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?
