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