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

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

Ooh whoa oh oh
A E F# C#
Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?

Why look twice at a beautiful existence?

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]
