[Verse]
Well I’ve been Fwading in your waves up to my chin, 
sinking Amslowly deeper as the waves roll in. 
Losing sFight of land, I’m wondering, 
“How’d I eAmver trick myself to get back in?”
Believe Fme, there’s no harder thing in this life
than belieAmving that happiness is within my arm’s reach 
and seeFing that there is beauty in this world  
that I have been misAmsing, and I don’t want to miss no more. 
[Interlude]
F G Am
{Chorus]
These are the dFays that are putting Gwrinkles on my fAmace, 
and I’ve been forced to adFmit that the slightest wGeight could bury Amme. 
And now the leFaves are turning on the tGrees 
and there’s a Ammap between me and what I need. 
I don’t kFnow if it needs mGe, it feels like I’m sinkiAmng.
[Interlude]
 F   G   Am(x2)
[Verse]
I’m throwing darts at a mFap, 
trying to remAmember where I left my heart last. F  
So when the Amvan’s packed up and the tank is filled with gFas, 
we can mAmake our way from the east coast to the wFest. Am  
And you could cFall… 
Or I’ll see you all next summer or next fAmall, 
and we can talk about the year we spent apart F  
since the last time every city stole my hAmeart.
[Chorus]
These are the dFays that are putting Gwrinkles on my fAmace, 
and I’ve been forced to adFmit that the slightest wGeight could bury Amme.

I don’t kFnow if it needs mGe, it feels like I’m sinkiAmng.

These are the dFays that are putting wrinkles on my fAmace,

I don’t kFnow if it needs mGe, it feels like I’m sinkiAmng.

[Verse]

Well I’ve been wading in your waves up to my chin,

sinking slowly deeper as the waves roll in.

Losing sight of land, I’m wondering,

“How’d I ever trick myself to get back in?”

Believe me, there’s no harder thing in this life

than believing that happiness is within my arm’s reach

and seeing that there is beauty in this world

that I have been missing, and I don’t want to miss no more.

[Interlude]

F G Am

{Chorus]

F G Am

These are the days that are putting wrinkles on my face,

F G Am

and I’ve been forced to admit that the slightest weight could bury me.

F G

And now the leaves are turning on the trees

and there’s a map between me and what I need.

F G Am

I don’t know if it needs me, it feels like I’m sinking.

[Interlude]

(x2)

[Verse]

I’m throwing darts at a map,

trying to remember where I left my heart last.

Am F

So when the van’s packed up and the tank is filled with gas,

Am F Am

we can make our way from the east coast to the west.

And you could call…

Or I’ll see you all next summer or next fall,

and we can talk about the year we spent apart

since the last time every city stole my heart.

[Chorus]

F G Am

These are the days that are putting wrinkles on my face,

F G Am

and I’ve been forced to admit that the slightest weight could bury me.

And now the leaves are turning on the trees

and there’s a map between me and what I need.

I don’t know if it needs me, it feels like I’m sinking.

These are the days that are putting wrinkles on my face,

and I’ve been forced to admit that the slightest weight could bury me.

I don’t know if it needs me, it feels like I’m sinking.
