[Verse 1]
Em G
All my friends they rise for work each day,

they take the mornin' train, never running late.

Staring at the their screens they fade away,
Am D B7
they take a coffee break just to stay awake.

Em G
People say we're wasting all our time,
Am
searching for things we weren't meant to find
Bm D B7
but that's all we have, so I don't mind.

for living life while we are young.

Well, it's nice to say I'm the happy one.

Father told me, son, don't make mistakes

But as I look upon his wearied face
Am D B7
it speaks of all the places that he never stayed.
