Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

I got a story it's almost finished

 and all i need is someone to tell it too...

 maybe, that's you.

Our time is borrowed and spent too freely.

 Every minute i have needs to be made up

but how?

I'm looking for a nice way to say "I'm out."

 I want out.

Verse 2

I fall asleep with my friends around me.

 Only place i know, i feel safe.

 I'm gonna call this home.

The open road is still miles away.

 Hey nothing serious; we still have our fun.

Oh we had it once.

Windows open and close, that's just how it goes.

Chorus

Don't it feel like sunshine after all.

The world we love forever, gone.

We're only just as happy

as everyone else seems to think we are.

Verse 3

I'm in love with the ordinary

 I need a simple space and rest my head

 and everything gets clear.

Well I'm a little ashamed for asking,

 but just a little helps; it gets me straight again...

helps me get over it (over it).

It might seem like a dream

 but it's real to me.

Chorus

Don't it feel like sunshine after all.

The world we love forever, gone.

We're only just as happy

as everyone else seems to think we are.

Bridge

Verse 4

You should see the canals are freezing.

 You should see me high, you should just be here.

Be with me here.

 It doesn't seem there's hope for me

 I let you down.

 But I won't give in now.

 Not for any amount.

Chorus

Don't it feel like sunshine after all.

The world we love forever, gone.

We're only just as happy

as everyone else thinks now

 Don't that feel like sunshine after all.

The world we love forever, gone.

We're only just as happy

as everyone else seems to think we are.
