[Verse 1]
D#m F#
All my friends they rise for work each day,
G#m C# A#7
they take the mornin' train, never running late.
D#m F#
Staring at the their screens they fade away,
G#m C# A#7
they take a coffee break just to stay awake.
[Pre-Chorus]
B F#
Don't you know there's more to life
A#7 B A#7
than working all the time as the evenings fade.
[Chorus]
D#m F#
People say we're wasting all our time,
G#m
searching for things we weren't meant to find
A#m C# A#7
but that's all we have, so I don't mind.
D#m F#
People say we'll lose a future sum
G#m
for living life while we are young.
A#m C# A#7
Well, it's nice to say I'm the happy one.
[Verse 2]
D#m F#
Father told me, son, don't make mistakes
G#m C# A#7
that I have made back in my day.
D#m F#
But as I look upon his wearied face
G#m C# A#7
it speaks of all the places that he never stayed.
[Pre-Chorus]

Don't you know there's more to life
