Verse
N.C.
Man, if I'm gonna be honest I -
E*
Dropped out of college
Found myself a whole new realm of knowledge
E7*
Down to the forest
Foraging for sounds that I can rhyme with orange
A*
Look, I'm a simple gatherer among a world of hunters
Am*
Not about chasing clout
I'd rather gaze at clouds and feel the comfort
G#
Uh Oh! On the trending tab
G#7
Hope this won't be ending bad
C# C#m
Checking analytics is like working in a forensic lab
G#
Oh Lord
Life's getting hard
G#7
I'm too young for a credit card
C# C#m
And I crashed the very first time I drove my parents' car
E* E7*
Teardrops, we've made friends between screens and deep seas
A*
Steal hearts while teens scream our ears off
You might not believe it
Am*
C# life full of streaming is real tough
C#m
It feels rough sometimes but that's the real stuff
G# G#7
Day by day putting on a brave face [Hey!]
C# C#m
Playing games, taking pain straight away [Yay!]
G# G#7
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay [Wait!]
A* Am*
We all need to take a break
G# G#7 C# C#m
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
G# G#7 C# C#m
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
G# G#7 C# C#m
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
G# G#7 C# C#m
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
E*
Just tryna keep my life afloat but never quite coping
E7*
I feel the heat beneath my collar whenever I am joking
A*
Know most people aren't evil though some really just wanna watch you burn
C#m
So you're on edge and sweating, treading
C#m
Making wrong turns
G#
I'm treading on egg shells
G#7
Laying on a bed of nails
C# C#m
Don't you take a wrong step or else you'll get impaled
G#
I'm just a happy guy
G#7
Paddling through the angry tide
C#
Online emotions amplified
C#m
I try to let it pass me by
E*
Can't keep everybody pacified, satisfied, appetites
E7*
My frazzled and distracted mind is acting like a satellite
A*
So many transmissions
Every day I'm twitching
Am*
Wishing that things were just an itty bit different
C#m
I know I shouldn't complain at the end of the day but it's a British tradition
E*
Day by day putting on a brave face [Ay!]
E7*
Playing games, taking pain straight away
A*
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay [Wait!]
Am*
We all need to take a break
G# G#7 C# C#m
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
G# G#7 C# C#m
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
G# G#7 C# C#m
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
G# G#7 C# C#m
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
G# G#7 C# C#m
(Sea...)
E*
Day by day putting on a brave face [Ay!]
E7*
Playing games, taking pain straight away
A*
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay [Wait!]
Am*
We all need to take a break
G# G#7
So I'll be chilling when the tide is low [Oh woah]
C# C#m
'Cause I wanna take it slow [Oh woah]
G# G#7
And I can't sing the next note
C# C#m
But I brought a bro [Oh!]
E* E7* C#
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
C# C#m Am*
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
G# G#7 C# C#m
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
G# G#7 C# C#m G#
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea.
G# G#7 C# C#m
Life by the sea!
G# G#7 C# C#m
Life by the sea!

Life by the sea!
