Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Staring At The Sun” dari The Offspring:
Dm F G C A
Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway,
Dm F G C A
Dodgin' bullets while you're tryin' to find your way;
Dm F G C
Everyone's around but no one does a damn thing -
F A# C
It brings me down, but I won't let 'em
Dm F G C
If I seem bleak, well you'd be correct,
A Dm F G C
And if I don't speak, it's 'cos I can't disconnect,
A Dm F G C
But I won't be, burn-ed by the reflection
A Dm F G
of the fire in your eyes
A Dm F G
as you're staring at the sun, wo-o-o-oah,
C A Dm F G
as you're staring at the sun, wo-o-o-oah,
C A Dm F G
as you're staring at the sun, wo-o-o-oah,
C A Dm F G
as you're staring at the sun.
A Dm
As you're staring at the sun.
When I ran, I didn't feel like a runaway
When I escaped, I didn't feel like I got away
There's more to living than only surviving
Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying
Though you hear me, I don't think that you relate
My will is something that you can't confiscate
So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated
by destruction in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun
When I ran, I didn't feel like a runaway
When I escaped, I didn't feel like I got away
There's more to living than only surviving
Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying
Though you hear me, I don't think that you relate
My will is something that you can't confiscate
So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated
by destruction in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun
Whoa
As you're staring at the sun
Whoa
As you're staring at the sun
Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway
Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way
Everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down, but I won't let them
If I seem bleak, well, you'd be correct
And if I don't speak, it's 'cause I can't disconnect
But I won't be burned by the reflection
of the fire in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun
Whoa
As you're staring at the sun
Whoa
As you're staring at the sun
Whoa
As you're staring at the sun
