[Verse 1]
DNever wanted the steady job, not now, nine to five
GBut now it's just all i've got, i'm up on the grass
BmYou can't even find the strength
To getting about this place
DI can't even move on when the thought of you is on my brain
BmIt's too hard to get close to you, it's take-taking time
GI can't even make a move, it seems nothing's right
BmOn my own for so many days i can't even keep my ways
GI thought that change maybe insDtead i'm going Acrazy (BmI lead a lonely life)
AI lead a lonely life (I Glead a lonely life)
AI lead a lonely life

DI don't care what the Apeople say
Because Gall I've got is a lAonely lDife
