G Cmaj7 G
[Verse]
GWhat a thing to be the Cmaj7witness to the Gsunshine
GWhat a dream to just be Cmaj7walking on the Gground
What a Emtime to live Bmamong the ashen Cremnants of our Glove
GThat came before and I'm still Dlooking for that Gnow
GIt took centuries to Cmaj7build these twisted Gcities
GIt took seconds to reCmaj7duce them down to Gdust
And all the Emtour guide could Bmsay was
'Take your Cpictures folks, it's Glate
GAnd try your best please to reDmember what was Gdone'
CDon't look so forlorn, don't you look so Gscared
CDon't get so upset, this world was never Gfair
But there are Dhundreds of ways to Cget through the day
There are Dhundreds of ways, now Cyou Gjust Cmaj7find oneG  
GI used to think that Cmaj7time was of the Gessence
GNow I just wish Cmaj7I could get some Gsleep
All the Emstrange parade of Bmsounds the city Cmakes when I lie Gdown
GLittle explosions that set Dfire to my Gdreams
GSometimes I get misCmaj7taken for this Gactor
And I Gguess that I can Cmaj7see it from the Gside
Maybe Emno one really Bmseems to be the Cperson that they Gmean to be
I Ghope I am forDgotten when I Gdie
CDon't contradict me, don't make me cross the Gline
CIf you feel threatened, it's only 'cause I Gmight
But there are Dhundreds of ways to Cget through the day
There are Dhundreds of ways to Cget through the day
Yes, there are Dhundreds of ways so Cyou best find oneG  
DAll my heroes, they're Call talk
DRunning in circles, some Cstopwatch some chaos
DLove was the message. CFull stop
We Emramble Bmon and Con
We Emramble Bmon and Con (Hey!)
GI stole all the rhinestones Cmaj7out of CaroGlina
And Gsold them out in Cmaj7Bakersfield for Gcash
Now the Embandshell got a Bmband sound like an Carcade in JGapan
Blew Gall my quarters trying to Dget that feeling Gback
GNow any sucker can turn Cmaj7boredom into Gviolence
A Gsociopath Cmaj7riding on a Gbus
And his Emirises are Bmblack from his Cnovelty conGtacts
GHe looks around but he can't Dsee the rest of Gus
CIn my sunglasses, don't mind the blinding Glight
CIt's getting dark but I've always loved the Gnight
Yes, there are Dhundreds of ways to Cget through the day
Yes, there are Dhundreds of ways to Cget through the day
There are Dhundreds of ways to Cget through the day
There are Dhundreds of ways to Cget through the day
There are Dhundreds and hundreds and Chundreds of ways
To Dget through the day...  Cjust find oneG

[Intro]

G Cmaj7 G

[Verse]

G Cmaj7 G

What a thing to be the witness to the sunshine

G Cmaj7 G

What a dream to just be walking on the ground

Em Bm C G

What a time to live among the ashen remnants of our love

G D G

That came before and I'm still looking for that now

G Cmaj7 G

It took centuries to build these twisted cities

G Cmaj7 G

It took seconds to reduce them down to dust

Em Bm

And all the tour guide could say was

C G

'Take your pictures folks, it's late

G D G

And try your best please to remember what was done'

C G

Don't look so forlorn, don't you look so scared

C G

Don't get so upset, this world was never fair

D C

But there are hundreds of ways to get through the day

D C G Cmaj7 G

There are hundreds of ways, now you just find one

G Cmaj7 G

I used to think that time was of the essence

G Cmaj7 G

Now I just wish I could get some sleep

Em Bm C G

All the strange parade of sounds the city makes when I lie down

G D G

Little explosions that set fire to my dreams

G Cmaj7 G

Sometimes I get mistaken for this actor

G Cmaj7 G

And I guess that I can see it from the side

Em Bm C G

Maybe no one really seems to be the person that they mean to be

G D G

I hope I am forgotten when I die

C G

Don't contradict me, don't make me cross the line

C G

If you feel threatened, it's only 'cause I might

D C

But there are hundreds of ways to get through the day

D C

There are hundreds of ways to get through the day

D C G

Yes, there are hundreds of ways so you best find one

D C

All my heroes, they're all talk

D C

Running in circles, some stopwatch some chaos

D C

Love was the message. Full stop

Em Bm C

We ramble on and on

Em Bm C

We ramble on and on (Hey!)

G Cmaj7 G

I stole all the rhinestones out of Carolina

G Cmaj7 G

And sold them out in Bakersfield for cash

Em Bm C G

Now the bandshell got a band sound like an arcade in Japan

G D G

Blew all my quarters trying to get that feeling back

G Cmaj7 G

Now any sucker can turn boredom into violence

G Cmaj7 G

A sociopath riding on a bus

Em Bm C G

And his irises are black from his novelty contacts

G D G

He looks around but he can't see the rest of us

C G

In my sunglasses, don't mind the blinding light

C G

It's getting dark but I've always loved the night

D C

Yes, there are hundreds of ways to get through the day

D C

Yes, there are hundreds of ways to get through the day

D C

There are hundreds of ways to get through the day

D C

There are hundreds of ways to get through the day

D C

There are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of ways

D C G

To get through the day... just find one
