Life By The Sea

E*
Dropped out of college

Found myself a whole new realm of knowledge
E7*
Down to the forest

Foraging for sounds that I can rhyme with orange
A*
Look, I'm a simple gatherer among a world of hunters
Am*
Not about chasing clout
          Am
I'd rather gaze at clouds and feel the comfort


E
Uh Oh! On the trending tab
E7
Hope this won't be ending bad
A                            Am
Checking analytics is like working in a forensic lab
E
Oh Lord

Life's getting hard
E7
I'm too young for a credit card
A                             Am
And I crashed the very first time I drove my parents' car


E*                                                 E7*
Teardrops, we've made friends between screens and deep seas
                                          A*
Steal hearts while teens scream our ears off

You might not believe it
                               Am*
A life full of streaming is real tough
Am
It feels rough sometimes but that's the real stuff


E                       E7
Day by day putting on a brave face [Hey!]
A                         Am
Playing games, taking pain straight away [Yay!]
E                     E7
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay [Wait!]
A*               Am*
We all need to take a break


E        E7       A        Am
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
E        E7          A        Am
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
E        E7       A        Am
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
E        E7          A       Am
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea


E*
Just tryna keep my life afloat but never quite coping
E7*
I feel the heat beneath my collar whenever I am joking
A*
Know most people aren't evil though some really just wanna watch you burn
Am
So you're on edge and sweating, treading
Am
Making wrong turns


E
I'm treading on egg shells
E7
Laying on a bed of nails
A                               Am
Don't you take a wrong step or else you'll get impaled
E
I'm just a happy guy
E7
Paddling through the angry tide
A
Online emotions amplified
Am
I try to let it pass me by


E*
Can't keep everybody pacified, satisfied, appetites
E7*
My frazzled and distracted mind is acting like a satellite
A*
So many transmissions

Every day I'm twitching
Am*
Wishing that things were just an itty bit different
Am
I know I shouldn't complain at the end of the day but it's a British tradition


E*
Day by day putting on a brave face [Ay!]
E7*
Playing games, taking pain straight away
A*
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay [Wait!]
Am*
We all need to take a break


E        E7       A        Am
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
E        E7          A        Am
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
E        E7       A        Am
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
E        E7          A       Am
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea


E  E7  A  Am
(Sea...)


E*
Day by day putting on a brave face [Ay!]
E7*
Playing games, taking pain straight away
A*
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay [Wait!]
Am*
We all need to take a break


E                                          E7
So I'll be chilling when the tide is low [Oh woah]
A                             Am
'Cause I wanna take it slow [Oh woah]
E                               E7
And I can't sing the next note
A                    Am
But I brought a bro [Oh!]


E*                E7*                               A
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
A                     Am      Am*
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
E        E7       A        Am
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
E        E7          A       Am           E
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea.


E            E7  A  Am
Life by the sea!
E            E7  A  Am
Life by the sea!
E             E*
Life by the sea!
