  [Intro]
  D D/A Dmaj7/A Em Gadd9
  D D/A Dmaj7/A E  Gadd9

  [Verse 1]
                        D
  You're always locked away
                       D/A  Dmaj7/A
  In your room you'll stay
     Bm
  Indecisive about the future
             Gadd9
  While your dreams have gone off to play
               D
  Stuck in a loop
                    D/A  Dmaj7/A
  As your birthdays pass
                      Bm
  One day you'll wake up with a box full of junk
      Gadd9
  To remember the life you had

  [Chorus 1]
D        A
  Get a break some time
          Em                    G
  You'll never be happy if the sun don't shine
D          A                    Em   G
  But it always shines where I live (wo-ooo-oah)
D           A
  So I let down the shades
      Em                            G
  The big black curtains keep the light away (light away)
D                A             Em    G
  I wanna feel better but not today

  [Verse 2]
G                                   A
  And everything is meaningless in some regard
                  Bm
  I haven't found any so far
                  Gadd9
  I've just been scrabblin' in the dirt to keep from crashing
     G
  I will push through the pain

  Reach into the fire
         A
  Take experience to heart

  And let the rest transpire
Bm
  Just wake up each day to live
Gadd9
  Just wake up each day to live

  [Chorus 2]
D        A
  Get a break some time
          Em                    G
  You'll never be happy if the sun don't shine
D          A                    Em   G
  But it always shines where I live (wo-ooo-oah)
D           A
  So I let down the shades
      Em                            G
  The big black curtains keep the light away (light away)
D                A             Em    G
  I wanna feel better but not today
