THE OFFSPRING - STARING AT THE SUN
ALBUM: AMERICANA (1998)
Intro:
Dm
Dm F G C A
Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway,
Dm F G C A
Dodgin' bullets while you're tryin' to find your way;
Dm F G C
Everyone's around but no one does a damn thing -
F Bb C
It brings me down, but I won't let 'em
Dm F G C
If I seem bleak, well you'd be correct,
A Dm F G C
And if I don't speak, it's 'cos I can't disconnect,
A Dm F G C
But I won't be, burn-ed by the reflection
A Dm F G
of the fire in your eyes
A Dm F G
as you're staring at the sun, wo-o-o-oah,
C A Dm F G
as you're staring at the sun, wo-o-o-oah,
C A Dm F G
as you're staring at the sun, wo-o-o-oah,
C A Dm F G
as you're staring at the sun.
A Dm
As you're staring at the sun.
FASTER (repeat x2)
Dm F G C A
When I ran I didn't feel like a runaway,
Dm F G C A
When I escaped I didn't feel like I'd got away;
Dm F G C
There's more to living than only surviving -
F Bb C
Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still tryin'
Dm F G C
Though you hear me, I don't think that you relate:
A Dm F G C
My will is something, that you can't confiscate,
A Dm F G C
So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated
A Dm F G
by the fire in your eyes
A Dm F G
as you're staring at the sun, wo-o-o-oah,
C A Dm F G C A
as you're staring at the sun, wo-o-o-oah...
Dm C
N.C.
Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway,
Dm C C A
N.C.
Dodgin' bullets while you're tryin' to find your way;
Dm C C
N.C.
Everyone's around but no-one does a damn thing -
F Bb C
It brings me down, but I won't let 'em
Dm F G C
If I seem bleak, well you'd be correct,
A Dm F G C
And if I don't speak, it's 'cos I can't disconnect,
A Dm F G C
But I won't be, burn-ed by the reflection
A Dm F G
of the fire in your eyes
A Dm F G
as you're staring at the sun, wo-o-o-oah,
C A Dm F G
as you're staring at the sun, wo-o-o-oah,
C A Dm F G
as you're staring at the sun, wo-o-o-oah,
C A Dm F G
as you're staring at the sun.
A Dm
As you're staring at the sun!
