Capo 5
[Intro]
C Em F G7 X2
[Verse 1]
C
Well I've been living in a dream that I can't wake up from
F
Swimming upstream I can't get to the sea
C
Where the fish swim free
C
And staring at a screen that I don't get much from
F
Staring so long, can't see wood from the trees
C
Or the birds from the bees
G
And half of the time well it flies right by
F C
Like childhood did In the blink of an eye
G
And half of the time, well it goes so slow
F C
I sit outside and watch the grass grow
C Em F G7 X2
[Verse 2]
C
Well I've been running on a treadmill, legs like lead
Will there ever be a needle for this thread
F C
I've been weaving since I was born?
C
And the papers read and the government said
I should stay in bed to stop the virus spread
F C
I won't be leaving for so long
