[Verse 1]
          C#m Bm7 C#m Bm7   C#m Bm7 C#m Bm7
I wake up and the day        feels broken
   C#m      Bm7  C#m Bm7                C#m Bm7   C#m Bm7
I tilt my head, I'm trying to get an angle
C#m           Bm7        C#m Bm7  C#m Bm7   C#m Bm7 C#m Bm7
'Cause the evening I've always longed for
C#m              Bm7     C#m Bm7
It could still happen

[Pre-Chorus]
Amaj7       E         F#m7       C#m7
How do I master the perfect day?
Amaj7             E       F#m7      C#m7
Six glasses of water, seven phone calls
           F#7                                                  Dmaj7
If you leave it alone, it might just happen anyway

[Chorus]
                      Amaj7         E
It's not up to you, oh it never really was
                      Amaj7         E
It's not up to you, oh it never really was
                      Amaj7         E
It's not up to you, well, it never really was

It's not up to you

[Verse 2]
C#m Bm7     C#m Bm7          C#m Bm7    C#m Bm7 C#m Bm7
If you wake up and the day feels a-broken
        C#m              Bm7   C#m Bm7          Amaj7        E
Just lean into the crack and it will tremble ever so nicely
C#m Bm7 C#m Bm7 C#m Bm7 C#m Bm7
Notice how it sparkles down there

[Pre-Chorus]
Amaj7     E      F#m7       C#m7
I can decide what I give
Amaj7     E      F#m7       C#m7
But it's not up to me what I get given
F#7
Unthinkable surprises about to happen
Dmaj7
But what they are...

[Chorus]
                     Amaj7        E
It's not up to you, well, it never really was
                     Amaj7        E
It's not up to you, oh it never really was

It's not up to you, no it never really was

It's not up to you, oh, me, share
                     Amaj7        E
It's not up to you, oh it never really was

It's not up to you
                     Amaj7        E
It's not up to you, well, it never really was

It's not up to you

It's not up to you
                     Amaj7        E
It's not up to you
                     Amaj7        E
It's not up to you

[Outro]

There's too much clinging to peak
F#m Bm F#m Bm F#m
There's too much pressure
