Tom: Bm
Bm G
Well it's a funny, sad, strange situation I've been in
D
Where everything I do is my next worst sin
A
I'm tired of watching life pass me by in fear
Bm
So, I lit this joint and burned a whole right through the atmosphere
G
'Cause I don't wanna watch life pass me by
D
No, I don't wanna hide away inside
Gotta get back to the basics
A
Step out of the matrix
Life's too short to waste it
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
It's a beautiful day
G
To step outside and hear him calling
[Chorus]
Bm G D A
I'm not gonna write you a sad song
Bm G D A
I'm not gonna write about how I don't belong
Bm G
'Cause as tempting as it seems
D A
Well, that just isn't me
Bm G
So, I'll do like Paul McCartney
D A
And I'll just let it be, let it be
[Instrumental]
Bm G D A
[Verse]
Bm
Let me get my generation
G
Back to a point of preservation and regeneration
D
Where peace of mind is more important than this demonstration
A
Anxiety is overwhelming our radio stations
Bm
Depression is most artists' only point of conversation
G
Which leads to negativity and personal frustration
D
This frame of mind is deadly amongst many heavy faces
A
Ready to believe in the self-hatred that's in their playlist
How do we change this?
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
It's a beautiful day
G
To step outside and hear him calling
[Chorus]
Bm G D A
I'm not gonna write you a sad song
Bm G D A
I'm not gonna write about how I don't belong
Bm G
'Cause as tempting as it seems
D A
Well, that just isn't me
Bm G
So, I'll do like Paul McCartney
D A
And I'll just let it be, let it be
