Intro
N.C.
Man, if I'm gonna be honest I-
[Verse 1]
A#
Dropped out of college
Found myself a whole new realm of knowledge
A#7
Down to the forest
Foraging for sounds that I can rhyme with orange
Eb
Look, I'm a simple gatherer among a world of hunters
Ebm
Not about chasing clout
I'd rather gaze at cows and feel the comfort
(So uh oh!)
A#
On the trending tab
Hope this won't be ending bad
A#7 Eb
Checking analytics is like working in a forensic lab (oh Lord)
Life's getting hard
I'm too young for a credit card
Ebm
And I crashed the very first time I drove my parents' car
A# A#7
Teardrops, we've made friends between screens and deep seas
Steal hearts while teens scream our ears off
Eb
You might not believe it
B life full of streaming is real tough
Ebm
It feels rough sometimes but that's the real stuff
[Pre-Chorus]
A#
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
A#7
Playing games, taking pain straight away (Yay!)
Eb
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
Ebm
We all need to take a break
[Chorus]
A# A#7 Eb
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
Ebm A#
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
A#7 Eb
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
Ebm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
[Verse 2]
A#
Just tryna keep my life afloat but never quite coping
A#7
I feel the heat beneath my collar whenever I am joking
Eb
Know most people aren't evil, though some really just wanna watch you burn
Ebm
So you're on edge and sweating
Dreading making wrong turns
A#
I'm treading on egg shells
Laying on a bed of nails
A#7
Don't you take a wrong step or else you'll get impaled
Eb
I'm just a happy guy
Paddling through the angry tide
Ebm
Online emotions amplified
I try to let it pass me by
A#
Can't keep everybody satisfied, pacified, appetites
A#7
My frazzled and distracted mind is acting like a satellite
Eb
So many transmissions
Every day I'm twitching
Wishing that things were just an itty bit different
Ebm
I know I shouldn't complain at the end of the day but it's a British tradition
[Pre-Chorus]
A#
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
A#7
Playing games, taking pain straight away
Eb
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
Ebm
We all need to take a break
[Chorus]
A# A#7 Eb
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
Ebm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
A# A#7 Eb
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
Ebm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
[Instrumental]
A# A#7 Eb Ebm
A# A#7 Eb Ebm
[Pre-Chorus]
A#
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
A#7
Playing games, taking pain straight away (Yay!)
Eb
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
Ebm
We all need to take a break
[Bridge]
A#
So I'll be chilling when the tide is low (Oh woah)
A#7
'Cause I wanna take it slow (Oh woah)
Eb
And I can't sing the next note
But I brought a bro
Ebm
(DG5 hits high note)
[Chorus]
A# A#7 Eb
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
Ebm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
A# A#7 Eb
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
Ebm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
[Outro]
