G D
I wish that I could show you all I've seen
B
I've been well educated in sadness
A
I've learned all I need
G D
and I've felt total vain of being soft-spoken?
B
I've watched the hills all burning down
A
felt the fields spill wide open
G D
and I used to watch the sun set on the bay
B A
in vivid colors of depression in the light of fading day
G D
and I try so goddamn hard to satisfy
B A
It felt good in my eyes
G
I didn't wanna live a long life
D
if you'd understand
B
you only see what you see
A
it's so impossible to plan
G
to live a long life
D
when the whole world holds you down
B A
and every hope casts a shadow of doubt
G
I didn't wanna live a long life
D B
but I'll do my best
A G
in any moment to get a little happiness
D B A
'cause you get what you get against

G D
So make me worry and I'll pick it 'til it bleeds
B A
I carry it with me as I'm driving down these cracked and busted streets
G D
where the kids standin' on the corner smokin'
B
have all been locked have all been knocked
A
and grown apart in East Oakland
G D
and I know for them that my life must seem tame
B A
but everybodies heavy so worry it still weighs the same
G D
and I feel the tension rise as I pass by
B A
I can see it in their eyes
G
I don't expect to live a long life
D
the way I understand
B
you only feel what you feel
A
it's so impossible to plan
G
to live a long life
D
when the whole world holds you down
B A
and every hope casts a shadow of doubt
G
I don't expect to live a long life
D B
Me, I do my best
A G
in any moment to get a little happiness
D B A
'cause you get what you get against
G D
With all that said I can always say some more
B A
I feel you bustin' off the hinges on this long locked up door
G D
and the stakes never ever felt so high
B
Wanna factor you into my dreams
A
I want you build me in your life
G D
I wanna know you've got my back through anything
B A
but you gotta be patient baby this is all new to me
G D
and I'm scared though you know I wouldn't lie
B A
look into my eyes
G
You make me wanna live a long life
D
if it's by your side
B
I wanna know you want it to
A
I want nothing to hide
G
so live a long life
D
well that's the hope
B A
but the future isn't yours or mine to know
G
you make me wanna live a long life
D B
and I'll do my best
A G
in any moment to give you a little happiness
D A D
'cause you get who you get against
Enjoy!
