Great song by a great band with a strange name. They deserve to get more recognition.
The chords are easy, but you can add a few notes to the transitions to spice it up a little.
Intro: x2
I know that it s been said before,
but not like this, or with these chords:
I wish that I was someone else
so I could sit down with myself,
and maybe I could help explain
these crazy thoughts I entertain
about my life, and everything,
like how it s really happening right now.
x2
I m bored, I m restless, disconnected,
aimlessness has left me breathless.
But my life has been redirected
and I m starting to accept this.
So efforts now must be relentless
because failure s leaving me so upset with
myself, but I swear this is all that I love;
you re going to see exactly what I m made of tonight.
As for the rest of my life,
well, I ll just wait and see what happens to me
from here.
So it seems, like all of the time
I m about to change my mind.
I m so naive, yet resolute
after I ve decided what to do.
I can t wear a tie on my collared shirt,
I can t get a job and just go to work.
I m worried sick like you wouldn t believe
have you any idea what this means to me?
x2
Looking back now makes me laugh,
I m grateful I don t want the things that I lack.
Except for time, oh goddam me,
when did free time become such a luxury?
See, if I don t do this while I m young
I m certain that it wont get done.
So I ve made my choice and it s all right,
I m ready to really start living my life.
So I swear to god that I will quit my job
and drive until my car just stops.
I ll walk until I reach the ocean,
maybe I will know what to do by then.
