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