Intro
N.C.
Man, if I'm gonna be honest I-
[Verse 1]
Fb
Dropped out of college
Found myself a whole new realm of knowledge
Fb7
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 cows and feel the comfort
(So uh oh!)
Fb
On the trending tab
Hope this won't be ending bad
Fb7 A
Checking analytics is like working in a forensic lab (oh Lord)
Life's getting hard
I'm too young for a credit card
Am
And I crashed the very first time I drove my parents' car
Fb Fb7
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
Am
It feels rough sometimes but that's the real stuff
[Pre-Chorus]
Fb
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
Fb7
Playing games, taking pain straight away (Yay!)
A
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
Am
We all need to take a break
[Chorus]
Fb Fb7 A
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
Am Fb
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
Fb7 A
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
Am
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
[Verse 2]
Fb
Just tryna keep my life afloat but never quite coping
Fb7
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
Am
So you're on edge and sweating
Dreading making wrong turns
Fb
I'm treading on egg shells
Laying on a bed of nails
Fb7
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
Am
Online emotions amplified
I try to let it pass me by
Fb
Can't keep everybody satisfied, pacified, appetites
Fb7
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
Am
I know I shouldn't complain at the end of the day but it's a British tradition
[Pre-Chorus]
Fb
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
Fb7
Playing games, taking pain straight away
A
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
Am
We all need to take a break
[Chorus]
Fb Fb7 A
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
Am
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
Fb Fb7 A
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
Am
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
[Instrumental]
Fb Fb7 A Am
Fb Fb7 A Am
[Pre-Chorus]
Fb
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
Fb7
Playing games, taking pain straight away (Yay!)
A
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
Am
We all need to take a break
[Bridge]
Fb
So I'll be chilling when the tide is low (Oh woah)
Fb7
'Cause I wanna take it slow (Oh woah)
A
And I can't sing the next note
But I brought a bro
Am
(G#G5 hits high note)
[Chorus]
Fb Fb7 A
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
Am
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
Fb Fb7 A
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
Am
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
