[Intro]
E B A
E B A
[Verse 1]
E B A E
I want to cross stitch shut my eyes
B A E
Wage a war on the world outside
B A F#
Brace the barricade in my mind,
A
But that’s alright
[Verse 2]
E B A E
I stretch the truths ’til they lose shape
B A E
As support beams bend and break
B A F#
Watch reality’s slow cascade,
A
But that’s alright
N.C.
And I’ve been thinking…
[Chorus]
E B C# G#
Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
A C# B
I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay
E B C# G#
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
A C# B
Ooh whoa oh oh
E B C# G#
Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
A C# B
I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay
E B C# G#
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
A C# B
Ooh whoa oh oh
E B A
[Verse 3]
E B A E
I watch the sun dry out the grass
B A E
Hear the silence shatter glass
B A F#
Feel perfection swerve and crash,
A
But that’s alright
F# A
Yeah, but that’s alright
[Chorus]
E B C# G#
Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
A C# B
I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay
E B C# G#
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
A C# B
Ooh whoa oh oh
E B C# G#
Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
A C# B
I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay
E B C# G#
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
A C# B
Ooh whoa oh oh
[Bridge]
C# A
Close my eyes, hope it all ends well this time
C# A B
Close my eyes, hope it all ends well this time
Go! [Solo - listen to song for timing]
E A B
E A B
[Chorus]
E B C# G#
Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
A C# B
I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay
E B C# G#
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
A C# B
And that’s alright
E B C# G#
Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
A C# B
I don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay
E B C# G#
Why look twice at a beautiful existence?
A C# B
Ooh whoa oh oh
E B A
Whoa oh oh oh
E B A
Whoa oh oh oh
E B C# G#
Ain’t life swell from a pretty little distance?
A C# B
Ooh whoa oh oh
(End on E)
