Intro 1
(G major)
(A minor)
Verse 1
When I (G major) was seventeen
I thought everything would start
to float (A minor) up to the sky
Ships and boats, the railway line
would wind (C major) between the clouds
With bad winds screaming out,
they (G major) couldn't get down
Tell me you'll believe it
I was a piece of clay
that you both carved (A minor) into a cup
Your fears under the spotlight
as your fin (C major) gers muddled mine
When I look down at my hands
I (G major) can still see myself before I ask for help
Ooh, (A minor) I (C major) leave
It got better (G major) , better, better, better
Oo (A minor) h, I (C major) leave
It wasn't (G major) the life for me
You can have my number
But I won't take the call,
I'll dip my (A minor) toe in
I'm just a little flood with fire as it dwindles
My feet (C major) mingle with the waves
Let the water meet my knees
I would rather (G major) work with
sand than clay
There's some things you can't reshape
And (A minor) ooh, while (C major) you
It could better (G major) , better, better, better
Oo (A minor) h, while (C major) you
It wasn't (G major) the life for me
Like working at a grocery store
Cause the stakes are low,
I write (A minor) with a grey -lit pencil
Tuck my hair in after seven, I go to Tab (C major) of LSD
I don't wanna climb that family tree,
no it's not (G major) the life for me
Ooh, (A minor) but (C major) it, it got bet (G major) ter,
better, better, better
Oo (A minor) h, but (C major) it,
it wasn't (G major) the life for me (A minor)
You
