C5 A5 G5 F5
So we trade our lives in for that fragile piece of mind that tells us everything is going to be ok.
C5 A5 G5 F5
We work our lives away and keep our savings saved and wait inside for a rainy day.
C5 G5 A5
But all that time the sun was shining. All those days are lost and we convince our selves that we
F5 C5 G5 F5 A5
need a purpose, and when it's not to clear the why all of us are here we follow the path thats
G5 C5 G5 A5 F5 C5
made for us, And we'll sit around and wonder what has happened to our lives when we realize
G5 F5 C5 G5 A5 F5 C5
that our purpose has no purpose, that the lives we could have had were not the one we had when
G5 C5/G5/A5 - A5/G5 - G5/F5 - F5 - F5 - F5/G5 - G5 - G5 - G5/
we let our lives be lived for us.
Reapeat riff
C5 A5 G5 F5
I once knew a girl who wanted all the world but she settled for the simple life instead and after
C5 A5 G5 F5
years of nine to five that yearning feeling died and she joined the ranks of the living dead.
C5 G5 A5
And all that time the sun was shining and all her days were lost, she'd convince that she'd need
F5 C5 G5 F5 A5 G5
a purpose, and when it wasn't clear, the reason she was here she followed just like the lot of us.
C5 G5 A5 F5 C5 G5
She sat around and wondered what had happened to her life, everything seemed to be in such a
F5 C5 A5 G5
rush, the dreams she could have had were not the ones she had and she realised it was not
enough.
Reapeat riff over " I don't want you to"
