Living the dream
C                           D
At least what the dream used to be
D                               F
There's people I don't know that 
know me
F                      D
I'm quite well off relatively
C                                  
Writer's block accompanied by some

depression
D                         
Without these songs, what am I 
Fmaj7       F
worth?
F          Fmaj7          D7    
If I'm not singing no one hears 
        D
my words
C#7    Cmaj7 C# Cmaj7
Except her


[Chorus]
F
My backyard tree doesn't know what 
she needs
Cmaj7
Or what she wants, she just grows on
Continues after the ad
Gm
She left me so low to the ground
F       Fmaj7

Day one at my therapist's building
D                       F
All these cars are so expensive
F                          D7    
I guess the money brings expenses
       C#  Cmaj7 C# Cmaj7
 (well pay up)
C                                 
So run along through this life 
         D
with no sure ending
D                        F
Create what you like and break the 
rest
F                          D     
There's hope for more than just 
              C# Cmaj7 C# Cmaj7
the best (prob-ab-ly)


[Chorus]
F
My backyard tree doesn't know what 
she needs
Cmaj7
Or what she wants, she just grows on
Gm7            Gm
