Intro
N.C.
Man, if I'm gonna be honest I-
[Verse 1]
C
Dropped out of college
Found myself a whole new realm of knowledge
C7
Down to the forest
Foraging for sounds that I can rhyme with orange
F
Look, I'm a simple gatherer among a world of hunters
Fm
Not about chasing clout
I'd rather gaze at cows and feel the comfort
(So uh oh!)
C
On the trending tab
Hope this won't be ending bad
C7 F
Checking analytics is like working in a forensic lab (oh Lord)
Life's getting hard
I'm too young for a credit card
Fm
And I crashed the very first time I drove my parents' car
C C7
Teardrops, we've made friends between screens and deep seas
Steal hearts while teens scream our ears off
F
You might not believe it
C# life full of streaming is real tough
Fm
It feels rough sometimes but that's the real stuff
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
C7
Playing games, taking pain straight away (Yay!)
F
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
Fm
We all need to take a break
[Chorus]
C C7 F
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
Fm C
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
C7 F
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
Fm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
[Verse 2]
C
Just tryna keep my life afloat but never quite coping
C7
I feel the heat beneath my collar whenever I am joking
F
Know most people aren't evil, though some really just wanna watch you burn
Fm
So you're on edge and sweating
Dreading making wrong turns
C
I'm treading on egg shells
Laying on a bed of nails
C7
Don't you take a wrong step or else you'll get impaled
F
I'm just a happy guy
Paddling through the angry tide
Fm
Online emotions amplified
I try to let it pass me by
C
Can't keep everybody satisfied, pacified, appetites
C7
My frazzled and distracted mind is acting like a satellite
F
So many transmissions
Every day I'm twitching
Wishing that things were just an itty bit different
Fm
I know I shouldn't complain at the end of the day but it's a British tradition
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
C7
Playing games, taking pain straight away
F
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
Fm
We all need to take a break
[Chorus]
C C7 F
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
Fm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
C C7 F
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
Fm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus]
C
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
C7
Playing games, taking pain straight away (Yay!)
F
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
Fm

[Bridge]
C
So I'll be chilling when the tide is low (Oh woah)
C7
'Cause I wanna take it slow (Oh woah)
F
And I can't sing the next note
But I brought a bro
Fm
(EG5 hits high note)
[Chorus]
C C7 F
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
Fm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
C C7 F
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
Fm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
