[Intro]
A   E   D   A
[Verse 1]
  AScattered shadows on a wEall, you watch the long light fall
DSome impressions stay and some will fAade
  ATattered shoes outside your doEor, clothes all on the floor
Your liDfe feels like the morning after Aall year Elong
[Bridge]
   F#mAnd every day it starts agB7ain
AYou cannot say if you're hEappy
You keep tF#mrying to be
B7Try harder, maybe, maybeD  E4  
[Chorus]
This is not your yAearE  F#m  
DThis is not your yAearE  B7  
[Verse 2]
  AMovies, TV screens reflEect just what you expected
DThere's a world of shiny people Asomewhere eElse
  AOut there following their bEliss
Living easy, getting kDissed
While you wonder what eAlse you're doing Ewrong
[Bridge]
   F#mAnd every day it starts agB7ain
You cannot say if you're hEappy
You keep tF#mrying to be
B7Try harder, maybe, maybeD  
[Chorus]
This is not your yAearE  F#m  
DThis is not your yAearE  B7  
[Interlude]
F#mBreathe through it, wErite a list of desires
F#mMake a toast, mEake a wish, slash some tires
B7Paint a heart repeating, beating "don't give up, don't give uAp."
[Verse 3]
  AScattered shadows on a wEall, you watch the long light fall
DSome impressions stay and some will fAade aEway
[Bridge 2]
   F#mAnd every day it starts agB7ain
Someday you'll say that you're Ehappy
You keep tF#mrying to be
B7Try harder, maybe, maybeD  
[Chorus]
EThis is not your yAearE  F#m
