AnAother day and my eyes are heavy
AnAother day and I don't feel ready
StDuck in my head, can't leave my bed
TrDying to find peace but it's trapped with a dread

[Intro]

(palm-muted, bass note alternating)

[Verse 1]

Another day and my eyes are heavy

Another day and I don't feel ready

Stuck in my head, can't leave my bed

Trying to find peace but it's trapped with a dread

Another day that I wanna be different

Training my brain is making me drained

I know something’s gotta change

But then I hear you say

[Chorus]

Baby, just go chop some wood it’ll do you good

Take a little stroll round the neighbourhood

Listen to the birds singing songs in the trees

Take a little time to study the leaves

The sea is calling would you go

Sit by the shore skipping stones

There’s a whole lot of space for you to unwind

E A

(strum once)

Chop a little wood and spend a little time, hey

A A A D

[Verse 2]

Another day and I feel kind of funny

My body is tired but I wanna be running

Trying to meet myself where I'm at

I know a little fresh air could help with that

And it's another day in the news is heavy

Need to stay on track but my brain won't let me

There some tears I need to cry

***

You say let the outside be your guide

[Chorus]

And go chop some wood it’ll do you good

Take a little stroll round the neighbourhood

Listen to the birds singing songs in the trees

Take a little time to study the leaves

The sea is calling would you go

Sit by the shore skipping stones

There’s a whole lot of space for you to unwind

E A

(strum once)

Chop a little wood and spend a little time, hey

A A A D A A A D

[Chorus]

Chop some wood it’ll do you good

Take a little stroll round the neighbourhood

Listen to the birds singing songs in the trees

Take a little time to study the leaves

The sea is calling would you go

Sit by the shore skipping stones

There’s a whole lot of space for you to unwind
