Intro
N.C.
Man, if I'm gonna be honest I-
[Verse 1]
Eb
Dropped out of college
Found myself a whole new realm of knowledge
Eb7
Down to the forest
Foraging for sounds that I can rhyme with orange
Ab
Look, I'm a simple gatherer among a world of hunters
Abm
Not about chasing clout
I'd rather gaze at cows and feel the comfort
(So uh oh!)
Eb
On the trending tab
Hope this won't be ending bad
Eb7 Ab
Checking analytics is like working in a forensic lab (oh Lord)
Life's getting hard
I'm too young for a credit card
Abm
And I crashed the very first time I drove my parents' car
Eb Eb7
Teardrops, we've made friends between screens and deep seas
Steal hearts while teens scream our ears off
Ab
You might not believe it
E life full of streaming is real tough
Abm
It feels rough sometimes but that's the real stuff
[Pre-Chorus]
Eb
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
Eb7
Playing games, taking pain straight away (Yay!)
Ab
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
Abm
We all need to take a break
[Chorus]
Eb Eb7 Ab
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
Abm Eb
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
Eb7 Ab
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
Abm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
[Verse 2]
Eb
Just tryna keep my life afloat but never quite coping
Eb7
I feel the heat beneath my collar whenever I am joking
Ab
Know most people aren't evil, though some really just wanna watch you burn
Abm
So you're on edge and sweating
Dreading making wrong turns
Eb
I'm treading on egg shells
Laying on a bed of nails
Eb7
Don't you take a wrong step or else you'll get impaled
Ab
I'm just a happy guy
Paddling through the angry tide
Abm
Online emotions amplified
I try to let it pass me by
Eb
Can't keep everybody satisfied, pacified, appetites
Eb7
My frazzled and distracted mind is acting like a satellite
Ab
So many transmissions
Every day I'm twitching
Wishing that things were just an itty bit different
Abm
I know I shouldn't complain at the end of the day but it's a British tradition
[Pre-Chorus]
Eb
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
Eb7
Playing games, taking pain straight away
Ab
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
Abm
We all need to take a break
[Chorus]
Eb Eb7 Ab
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
Abm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
Eb Eb7 Ab
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
Abm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
[Instrumental]
Eb Eb7 Ab Abm
Eb Eb7 Ab Abm
[Pre-Chorus]
Eb
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
Eb7
Playing games, taking pain straight away (Yay!)
Ab
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
Abm
We all need to take a break
[Bridge]
Eb
So I'll be chilling when the tide is low (Oh woah)
Eb7
'Cause I wanna take it slow (Oh woah)
Ab
And I can't sing the next note
But I brought a bro
Abm
(GG5 hits high note)
[Chorus]
Eb Eb7 Ab
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
Abm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
Eb Eb7 Ab
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
Abm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
[Outro]
