Man, If I’m gonna be honest, I
[G]Dropped out of college, found myself a whole new realm of knowledge,
[F]down the forest, Foraging for sounds that I can rhyme with orange
[C]look, I’m a simple gatherer among a world of hunters
[Cm]Not about chasing clout, I’d rather gaze at clouds and feel the comforts


[G]Uh-oh!!
On the trending tab, hope this won’t be ending bad
[F]Checking analytics is like working in a forensic lab
[C]Oh Lord, life’s getting hard, I’m too young for a credit card
[Cm]And I crashed the very first time I drove my parents’ car


[G]Teardrops, we’ve made friends between screens
[F]and deep seas, steal hearts, while teens scream our ears off
[C]You mightn’t believe it, a life full o’ streaming is real tough
[Cm]it feels rough sometimes, but that’s the real stuff


[G]Day by day, puttin’ on a brave face, HEY
[F]Playin’ games, takin’ pain straight away, YAY
[C]Maybe made mistakes, but it’s A-OK, WAIT
[Cm]We all need to take a break!


[G]If I’m gonna be [F]honest,
I need a little space to [C]breathe.
And I’m living and [Cm]loving
My LIFE BY THE [G]SEA.
If I’m gonna be [F]honest,
I need a little bit o’ the [C]breeze
And I’m living and [Cm]loving
My LIFE BY THE SEA.


[G]just trying to keep my life afloat but never quite coping
[F]I feel the heat beneath my collar, whenever I’m joking
[C]Know most people aren’t evil though, some really just wanna watch you burn
so [Cm]you’re on edge AND sweating dreading making wrong turns


I’m [G]treading on eggshells, laying on a bed of nails
[F]Don’t you take a wrong step or else you’ll GET impaled
[C]I’m just a happy guy, paddling through the angry
tide-on[Cm]LINE emotions AMpliFY , I try to let it pass me by


[G]Can’t keep everybody PAcified… SAtisfied APpetites, my
[F]frazzled and distracted mind is acting like a satellite so
[C]many transMISSIONS… every day twitching… wishing that things were an itty bit different
[Cm]I know I shouldn’t complain AT the end of the day BUT it’s a British tradition


[G]Day by day, putting on a brave face, HEY
[F]Playin’ games, takin’ pain straight away, YAY
[C]Maybe made mistakes, but IT’S A-OK, WAIT
[Cm]We all need to take a break!


[G]If I’m gonna be [F]honest,
I need a little space to [C]breathe.
And I’m living and [Cm]loving
My LIFE BY THE [G]SEA.
If I’m gonna be [F]honest,
I need a little bit o’ the [C]breeze
And I’m living and [Cm]loving
My LIFE BY THE SEA.


[G] [F] [C] [Cm]
[G]Day by day, putting on a brave face, HEY
[F]Playin’ games, takin’ pain straight away, YAY
[C]Maybe made mistakes, but it’s A-OK, WAIT

[G]So I’ll be
Chillin’ when the tide is low
[F]Cuz I wanna take it slow.
[C]And I can’t sing the next note, but I brought [Cm]a bro
OHHHHH


[G]If I’m gonna be [F]honest,
I need a little space to [C]breathe.
And I’m living and [Cm]loving
My LIFE BY THE [G]SEA.
