[Verse 1]
        E           A
Well I, sleep with a light on
      E              A
I got two different socks on
       E                  A               E     A
And my left shoe is tied tighter than the other
       E             A
I don't have much to my name
      E            A
Got a few bucks in pocket change
        E                 A               E    A
And I'm jumping from this one song to the other
     E             A
I get stains on my blue jeans
         E               A
'Cos I'm working scooping ice cream,
      E           A              E      A
Ain't pretty but I need that new guitar
     E           A
Gotta find a way out there
       E            A
Make a record, be a millionaire
        E             A             E  A
I won't stop till I'm where I wanna be
B                               A
And I'll tell you where I wanna be


[Chorus]
          E             D            A
Where the grass is much greener all around
         E         D            A           C
When I'm out of your mind with my feet on the ground
     E             D           A
I'll tell you when I'm looking down
               B
It'll all look up
         C               B                E
And it's looking up from how it's looking now


[Interlude]
A E A E A E A


[Verse 2]
        E            A
Well I, laugh at the wrong things
      E            A
And I hate the way I sing
      E            A                E      A
But I do because I can't do nothing better
       E              A
Well I smile when I'm happy
      E                A
But I still do when I'm sad
    E            A                   E      A
You never really know but I know you wonder
B                                    A
Yeah, I'll tell you where it's gonna be


[Chorus]
          E             D            A
Where the grass is much greener all around
         E         D            A           C
When I'm out of your mind with my feet on the ground
     E             D           A
I'll tell you when I'm looking down
               B
It'll all look up
         C               B                E
And it's looking up from how it's looking now


[Interlude]
A E A E A E A


[Bridge]
G        A               E
Well I'm thirsty for some sanity
            G             A            E
And I could really go for some freedom right about now
        G      A        E
My self-actualisation is running a little late
           B
But it's alright and I'll be fine


[Chorus]
          E             D            A
Where the grass is much greener all around
         E         D            A           C
When I'm out of your mind with my feet on the ground
     E             D           A
I'll tell you when I'm looking down
               B
It'll all look up
         C               B                E
And it's looking up from how it's looking now


[Outro]
E          A
Do-do-do-do
      E    Am
Mm-mm-mm-mm
         C               B
And it's looking up from how it's looking now.
