The battle is over
Fmaj7  C
Here we all lie
Fmaj7   Am
In a dry sea of Solo cups
Fmaj7   G
With the sun in our eyes
Fmaj7   C
But it's one of those endings
Fmaj7   C

                                            Am           D
Where no one claps 'cause they're sure that there's mo-re
D/F#              G             F              Em          Dm           C
What a great way to start the first day of the rest of my life


Fmaj7   C
I guess the show's going on
Fmaj7   Am
So we pick up the pieces
Fmaj7   G
We dropped for a song
Dm      C
And an ear-splitting headache
Fmaj7   C

                                         Am             D
That makes it hard to figure out which puzzle they're f-or
              F                                   G#
But I can leave this part out of the story I write
                     G                     F                Em          Dm          Fm       Bb6
And there are worse ways to start the first day of the rest of my life


Fm                                      Bb6
Roommates friends lovers - quiet
I'm coming to
                          Fm                     Bb6
I'm turning myself in-to some-thing a little less promising
                    F
A little mo-re useful

The battle is over
F  Em  Dm  C                                                     Am   D
We lost but we'll live to call off the war
               Am                                  D
Don't that ceiling look high from the floor
           F                                  G#
Don't it hurt just to move As we shrink from the light
        Bb                              Dm               C
As it pierces our bodies and thaws out our hearts
            G/B               Am            G             Fmaj7     Fm
What a great way to start the first day of the rest of
                      C
The rest of my life
