Intro
N.C.
Man, if I'm gonna be honest I-
[Verse 1]
Ab
Dropped out of college
Found myself a whole new realm of knowledge
Ab7
Down to the forest
Foraging for sounds that I can rhyme with orange
Db
Look, I'm a simple gatherer among a world of hunters
Dbm
Not about chasing clout
I'd rather gaze at cows and feel the comfort
(So uh oh!)
Ab
On the trending tab
Hope this won't be ending bad
Ab7 Db
Checking analytics is like working in a forensic lab (oh Lord)
Life's getting hard
I'm too young for a credit card
Dbm
And I crashed the very first time I drove my parents' car
Ab Ab7
Teardrops, we've made friends between screens and deep seas
Steal hearts while teens scream our ears off
Db
You might not believe it
A life full of streaming is real tough
Dbm
It feels rough sometimes but that's the real stuff
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
Ab7
Playing games, taking pain straight away (Yay!)
Db
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
Dbm
We all need to take a break
[Chorus]
Ab Ab7 Db
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
Dbm Ab
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
Ab7 Db
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
Dbm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
[Verse 2]
Ab
Just tryna keep my life afloat but never quite coping
Ab7
I feel the heat beneath my collar whenever I am joking
Db
Know most people aren't evil, though some really just wanna watch you burn
Dbm
So you're on edge and sweating
Dreading making wrong turns
Ab
I'm treading on egg shells
Laying on a bed of nails
Ab7
Don't you take a wrong step or else you'll get impaled
Db
I'm just a happy guy
Paddling through the angry tide
Dbm
Online emotions amplified
I try to let it pass me by
Ab
Can't keep everybody satisfied, pacified, appetites
Ab7
My frazzled and distracted mind is acting like a satellite
Db
So many transmissions
Every day I'm twitching
Wishing that things were just an itty bit different
Dbm
I know I shouldn't complain at the end of the day but it's a British tradition
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
Ab7
Playing games, taking pain straight away
Db
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
Dbm
We all need to take a break
[Chorus]
Ab Ab7 Db
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
Dbm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
Ab Ab7 Db
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
Dbm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
[Instrumental]
Ab Ab7 Db Dbm
Ab Ab7 Db Dbm
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
Ab7
Playing games, taking pain straight away (Yay!)
Db
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
Dbm
We all need to take a break
[Bridge]
Ab
So I'll be chilling when the tide is low (Oh woah)
Ab7
'Cause I wanna take it slow (Oh woah)
Db
And I can't sing the next note
But I brought a bro
Dbm
(CG5 hits high note)
[Chorus]
Ab Ab7 Db
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
Dbm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
Ab Ab7 Db
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
Dbm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
[Outro]
