Intro: G Cmaj7 G

GCmaj7G
What a thing to be the witness to the sunshine
GCmaj7G
What a dream to just be walking on the ground
EmBmCG
What a time to live among the ashen remnants of our love
GDG
That came before and I'm still looking for that now
GCmaj7G
It took centuries to build these twisted cities
GCmaj7G
It took seconds to reduce them down to dust
EmBm
And all the tour guide could say was
CG
'Take your pictures folks it's late
GDG
And try your best please to remember what was done'
CG
Don't look so forlorn, don't you look so scared
CG
Don't get so upset, this world was never fair
DC
But there are hundreds of ways to get through the day
DCGmaj7
There are hundreds of ways, now you just find one
GCmaj7G
I used to think that time was of the essence
GCmaj7G
Now I just wish I could get some sleep
EmBmCG
All the strange parade of sounds the city makes when I lie down
GDG
Little explosions that set fire to my dreams
GCmaj7G
Sometimes I get mistaken for this actor
GCmaj7G
And I guess that I can see it from the side
EmBmCG
Maybe no one really seems to be the person that they mean to be
GDG
I hope I am forgotten when I die
CG
Don't contradict me, don't make me cross the line
CG
If you feel threatened, it's only 'cause I might
DC
But there are hundreds of ways to get through the day
DC
There are hundreds of ways to get through the day
DCG
Yes there are hundreds of ways so you best find one
DC
All my heroes, they're all talk
DC
Running in circles, some stopwatch some chaos
DC
Love was the message, for a start
EmBmC
We ramble on and on
EmBmCG
We ramble on and on (HEY!)
GCmaj7G
I stole all the rhinestones out of Carolina
GCmaj7G
And sold them out in Bakersfield for cash
EmBmCG
Now the bandshell got a band sound like an arcade in Japan
GDG
Blew all my quarters trying to get that feeling back
GCmaj7G
Now any sucker can turn boredom into violence
GCmaj7G
A sociopath riding on a bus
EmBmCG
And his irises are black from his novelty contacts
GDG
He looks around but he can?t see the rest of us
CG
In my sunglasses don't mind the blinding light
CG
It's getting dark broke, but I've always loved the night
DC
But there are hundreds of ways to get through the day
DC
There are hundreds of ways to get through the day
DC
There are hundreds of ways to get through the day
DC
There are hundreds of ways to get through the day
DC
There are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of ways
DCG
To get through the day just find one
