Chords in this song · guitar

Fmaj

C F C Am

Daylight is fading like an awkward smile

E F C

Sun hides behind the west coast

Am E

I thought, I thought I knew

F C

I had everything figured out

Am E F C

'Til night came and I lost my shadow

Am E F C

Blended with moonlight and broken glass

Am E F C

Ten hours of panic will follow

Am E

I watch the trees look black

F C

My red shirt in is turning grey

Am E F C

Strange things just won't stop appearing!

Give me day, give me light

These days, those days

Am E F C

I was taught to bottle my emptiness

Am E F C

Deal with my quarter-life angst by painting pictures

Am E F C

Tip of my pencil describes what I might have drawn

Am E F C

Had my left brain and right hand been in contact

Broken section is now, read on

Dm G C Am

Then all at once, the sky started raining

Dm G C

Soaked to the bone, stopped!

Dm G C Am

People of nighttime, came out of hiding

Dm G C

One of them turned my way

Dm G

She said: "I'd like to tell you

C Am

Some things I wished I'd known

Dm G C

When I was young like you

Dm G

It won't take a second

C Am

But it could save you years

Dm G C

Years passed like seconds out here"

You're in control of your life

Pearl of the oyster

The cream of the oreo

What I would give for that, I hope you never know

So live your life!

Don't sleep through the night!

Fmaj

Life's worth a living!

You gotta start living it right!

So live your life!

Don't sleep through the day!

Fmaj

Dreams are for living!

You gotta stop letting them die
