    Intro: G Cmaj7 G
           G Cmaj7 G

           G               Cmaj7          G
    What a thing to be the witness to the sunshine
           G                Cmaj7          G
    What a dream to just be walking on the ground
           Em           Bm              C               G
    What a time to live among the ashen remnants of our love
              G                    D                G
    That came before and I'm still looking for that now
            G            Cmaj7               G
    It took centuries to build these twisted cities
            G            Cmaj7             G
    It took seconds to reduce them down to dust
                Em               Bm
    And all the tour guide could say was
               C                   G
    'Take your pictures folks it's late
                 G                D               G
    And try your best please to remember what was done'

    C                                        G
    Don't look so forlorn, don't you look so scared
    C                                        G
    Don't get so upset, this world was never fair
                  D                   C
    But there are hundreds of ways to get through the day
              D                     C                G Cmaj7 G
    There are hundreds of ways, now you just find one

      G                  Cmaj7           G
    I used to think that time was of the essence
    G               Cmaj7            G
    Now I just wish I could get some sleep
            Em                Bm              C                G
    All the strange parade of sounds the city makes when I lie down
             G                 D          G
    Little explosions that set fire to my dreams
        G              Cmaj7          G
    Sometimes I get mistaken for this actor
          G                Cmaj7           G
    And I guess that I can see it from the side
          Em            Bm              C                G
    Maybe no one really seems to be the person that they mean to be
      G            D             G
    I hope I am forgotten when I die



    C                                            G
    Don't contradict me, don't make me cross the line
    C                                          G
    If you feel threatened, it's only 'cause I might
                  D                   C
    But there are hundreds of ways to get through the day
              D                   C
    There are hundreds of ways to get through the day
                  D                   C                 G
    Yes there are hundreds of ways so you best find one

    D                      C
    All my heroes, they're all talk
    D                        C
    Running in circles, some stopwatch some chaos
    D                     C
    Love was the message, for a start
       Em     Bm     C
    We ramble on and on
       Em     Bm     C        G
    We ramble on and on (HEY!)


            G                   Cmaj7      G
    I stole all the rhinestones out of Carolina
        G                Cmaj7           G
    And sold them out in Bakersfield for cash
            Em              Bm                 C           G
    Now the bandshell got a band sound like an arcade in Japan
                G                  D                G
    Blew all my quarters trying to get that feeling back
            G               Cmaj7        G
    Now any sucker can turn boredom into violence
      G         Cmaj7       G
    A sociopath riding on a bus
            Em         Bm             C          G
    And his irises are black from his novelty contacts
             G                   D               G
    He looks around but he can’t see the rest of us


    C                                        G
    In my sunglasses don't mind the blinding light
    C                                                  G
    It's getting dark broke, but I've always loved the night


                  D                   C
    But there are hundreds of ways to get through the day
              D                   C
    There are hundreds of ways to get through the day
              D                   C
    There are hundreds of ways to get through the day
              D                   C
    There are hundreds of ways to get through the day
              D                         C
    There are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of ways
       D                   C               G
    To get through the day   just find one
