Intro
N.C.
Man, if I'm gonna be honest I-
[Verse 1]
F
Dropped out of college
Found myself a whole new realm of knowledge
F7
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
A#m
Not about chasing clout
I'd rather gaze at cows and feel the comfort
(So uh oh!)
F
On the trending tab
Hope this won't be ending bad
F7 A#
Checking analytics is like working in a forensic lab (oh Lord)
Life's getting hard
I'm too young for a credit card
A#m
And I crashed the very first time I drove my parents' car
F F7
Teardrops, we've made friends between screens and deep seas
Steal hearts while teens scream our ears off
A#
You might not believe it
F# life full of streaming is real tough
A#m
It feels rough sometimes but that's the real stuff
[Pre-Chorus]
F
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
F7
Playing games, taking pain straight away (Yay!)
A#
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
A#m
We all need to take a break
[Chorus]
F F7 A#
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
A#m F
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
F7 A#
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
A#m
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
[Verse 2]
F
Just tryna keep my life afloat but never quite coping
F7
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
A#m
So you're on edge and sweating
Dreading making wrong turns
F
I'm treading on egg shells
Laying on a bed of nails
F7
Don't you take a wrong step or else you'll get impaled
A#
I'm just a happy guy
Paddling through the angry tide
A#m
Online emotions amplified
I try to let it pass me by
F
Can't keep everybody satisfied, pacified, appetites
F7
My frazzled and distracted mind is acting like a satellite
A#
So many transmissions
Every day I'm twitching
Wishing that things were just an itty bit different
A#m
I know I shouldn't complain at the end of the day but it's a British tradition
[Pre-Chorus]
F
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
F7
Playing games, taking pain straight away
A#
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
A#m
We all need to take a break
[Chorus]
F F7 A#
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
A#m
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
F F7 A#
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
A#m
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
[Instrumental]
F F7 A# A#m
F F7 A# A#m
[Pre-Chorus]
F
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
F7
Playing games, taking pain straight away (Yay!)
A#
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
A#m
We all need to take a break
[Bridge]
F
So I'll be chilling when the tide is low (Oh woah)
F7
'Cause I wanna take it slow (Oh woah)
A#
And I can't sing the next note
But I brought a bro
A#m
(AG5 hits high note)
[Chorus]
F F7 A#
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
A#m
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
F F7 A#
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
A#m
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
[Outro]
