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

Don't you know there's more to life
