G, Cadd9,Em7 C D Am
Add capo if you feel like it, I feel comfortable singing it without a capo.
[Verse 1]
G Cadd9
I think I've been telling lies,
Em7 Cadd9
cause I've never been in love.
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
Everyone falls for the sunshine disguise, distracted by who they're thinking of.
[Verse 2]
G Cadd9
I'd rather date an idea;
Em7 Cadd9
something I'll never find.
G
Sure, I'll live in the moment,
Cadd9
but I'm never happy here
Em7 Cadd9
I'm surrounded by greener looking time.
[Chorus]
C
Am I the only one
D
wishing life away?
G
Never caught up in the moment
D
busy begging the past to stay
Am C
Memories painted with much brighter ink;
G
they tell me I loved, teach me how to think.
[Verse 3]
G Cadd9
I'll take what I can get
Em7 Cadd9
cause I'm too damp for a spark.
G
Kissing sickly sweet guys
Cadd9
cause they say they like my eyes
Em7 Cadd9
but I'd only ever see them in the dark.
[Verse 4]
G Cadd9
I'm sick of faking diary entries,
Em7 Cadd9
got to get it in my head; I'll never be sixteen again
G Cadd9
I'm waiting to live, and waiting to love
Em7 Cadd9
oh it'll be over, and I'll still be asking when.
[Chorus]
C
Am I the only one
D
wishing life away?
G
Never caught up in the moment
D
busy begging the past to stay
Am C
Memories painted with much brighter ink;]
G
they tell me I loved, teach me how to think.
G Cadd9
I'm sick of faking diary entries,
Em7 Cadd9
got to get it in my head; I'll never be sixteen again
G Cadd9
I'm waiting to live, still waiting to love
Em7 Cadd9
oh it'll be over, and I'll still be asking when
Em7 G *
oh it'll be over, and I'll still be asking when.
