This is a really simple version.
[Intro]
F G C FC
x2
[Verse 1]
F G C F C
It's the perfect time of year
F G C F C
Somewhere far away from here
F G C F C
I feel fine enough, I guess
F G C F C
Considering everything's a mess
F G C F C
There's a restaurant down the street
F G C F C
Where hungry people like to eat
F G C F C
I could walk but I'll just drive
D/F# F G
It's colder than it looks outside
[Chorus]
C G
It's like a dream, you try to remember but it's gone
F D
Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
C G F G
When you try to see the world beyond your front door
C G
Take your time 'coz the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
F D
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
C G F
Just to try to figure out what all this is for
[Verse 2]
F G C F C
It's the perfect time of day
F G C F C
To throw all your cares away
F G C F C
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
F G C F C
And run through with my gym shorts on
F G C F C
Take a drink right from the hose
F G C F C
And change into some drier clothes
F G C F C
Climb the stairs up to my room
D/F# F G
Sleep away the afternoon
[Chorus]
C G
It's like a dream, you try to remember but it's gone
F D
Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
C G F G
When you try to see the world beyond your front door
C G
Take your time 'coz the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
F D
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
C G F
Just to try to figure out what all this is for
[Bridge]
G Am G F G Am G F
Pinch me, pinch me, cause I'm still asleep
G Am G F G Am G
Please God tell me that I'm still asleep
[Verse 3]
F G C F C
On an evening such as this
F G C F C
It's hard to tell if I exist
F G C F C
Packed a car and leave this town
F G C F C
Who'll notice that I'm not around?
F G C F C
I could hide out under there
F G C F C
I just made you say 'underwear'
F G C F C
I could leave but I'll just stay
D/F# F G
All my stuff's here anyway
[Chorus]
C G
It's like a dream, you try to remember but it's gone
F D
Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
C G F G
When you try to see the world beyond your front door
C G
Take your time 'coz the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
F D
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
C G F
Just to try to figure out what all this is for
C G F G
Try to figure out what all this is for
C G F G
Try to see the world beyond your front door
C G D
Try to figure out what all this is for
[Solo]
C G F D
C G F G
C G F D
C G F G
