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

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
A# F G D
Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?

Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
