Ab
Dropped out of college

Found myself a whole new realm of knowledge
Ab7
Down to the forest

Foraging for sounds that I can rhyme with orange
Db
Look, I'm a simple gatherer among a world of hunters
Dbm
Not about chasing clout

I'd rather gaze at cows and feel the comfort

(So uh oh!)


Ab
On the trending tab

Hope this won't be ending bad
Ab7                                                      Db
Checking analytics is like working in a forensic lab (oh Lord)

Life's getting hard

I'm too young for a credit card
Dbm
And I crashed the very first time I drove my parents' car


Ab                                                 Ab7
Teardrops, we've made friends between screens and deep seas

Steal hearts while teens scream our ears off
    Db
You might not believe it

A life full of streaming is real tough
Dbm
It feels rough sometimes but that's the real stuff



[Pre-Chorus]
Ab
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
Ab7
Playing games, taking pain straight away (Yay!)
Db
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
Dbm
We all need to take a break



[Chorus]
Ab              Ab7                              Db
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
                   Dbm                   Ab
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
                Ab7                              Db
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
                   Dbm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea



[Verse 2]
Ab
Just tryna keep my life afloat but never quite coping
Ab7
I feel the heat beneath my collar whenever I am joking
Db
Know most people aren't evil, though some really just wanna watch you burn
Dbm
So you're on edge and sweating

Dreading making wrong turns


    Ab
I'm treading on egg shells

Laying on a bed of nails
Ab7
Don't you take a wrong step or else you'll get impaled
Db
I'm just a happy guy

Paddling through the angry tide
  Dbm
Online emotions amplified

I try to let it pass me by


Ab
Can't keep everybody satisfied, pacified, appetites
    Ab7
My frazzled and distracted mind is acting like a satellite
   Db
So many transmissions

Every day I'm twitching

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



[Pre-Chorus]
Ab
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
Ab7
Playing games, taking pain straight away
Db
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
Dbm
We all need to take a break



[Chorus]
Ab              Ab7                              Db
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
                   Dbm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
Ab              Ab7                              Db
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
                   Dbm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea



[Instrumental]
Ab Ab7 Db Dbm
Ab Ab7 Db Dbm



[Pre-Chorus]
Ab
Day by day, putting on a brave face (Hey!)
Ab7
Playing games, taking pain straight away (Yay!)
Db
Maybe made mistakes but it's a-okay (Wait!)
Dbm
We all need to take a break



[Bridge]
            Ab
So I'll be chilling when the tide is low (Oh woah)
      Ab7
'Cause I wanna take it slow (Oh woah)
    Db
And I can't sing the next note

But I brought a bro
Dbm
(CG5 hits high note)



[Chorus]
Ab              Ab7                              Db
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
                   Dbm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
Ab              Ab7                              Db
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit of a breeze
                   Dbm
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
