Key: D  
Verse 1
I Djust unloaded the last box up Atwo long flights of stairs
and I reEmalize that everything I oGwn is in this room
I Ddon't know how I got here and I'm Anot sure how to start
if you Emasked me to retrace myself it would Gprobably be too far
but I'm sAitting on these wrinkled sheets and thinking to myself
I might be Ghappy
Chorus
and I just have to say
the Dview looks fine from Ahere
everything seems Emnice this time of Gyear
and even though the Dfuture is Aunclear
I might just Emstick around a Gwhile
Verse 2
My Dlandlord's name is Barbara and I soAmetimes call her mom
her Emjersey accent reminds me just how Gfar away from home I am
and I lDove the way the traffic keeps Amoving down below
seems the Empeople in this city always Ghave some place to go
and there are Acouples walking everywhere as I sit all alone
but I am Ghappy
Chorus
and I just have to say
the Dview looks fine from Ahere
everything seems Emnice this time of Gyear
and even though the Dfuture is Aunclear
I might just Emstick around a Gwhile
Cause the sun's about to F#riseG  
oh, I've Dnever seen it look so bright
F#I    Ghave Dwaited all my Alife
Verse 3
Got a Dcouple hundred dollars and an A8x16 room
most Empeople think I'm crazy
said I Gtook off way too soon
but I Dcan't describe this longing that's Apulling me inside
sometimes Emfollowing your heart can be an Ginteresting ride
but I'm Alooking over rooftops at the colors
and I know that I am Ghappy
Chorus
and I just have to say
the Dview looks fine from Ahere
everything seems Emnice this time of Gyear
and even though the Dfuture is Aunclear
I might just Emstick around a Gwhile
