E
Dropped out of college, found myself a whole new realm of knowledge
E7
Down the forest

Foraging for sounds that I can rhyme with orange (woo)
A
Look, I'm a simple gatherer among a world of hunters
Am
Not about chasing clout

I'd rather gaze at clouds and feel the comforts

E
Uh, oh, on the trending tab

Hope this won't be ending bad
E7
Checking analytics it's like working in a forensic lab
A
Oh Lord, life's getting hard

I'm too young for a credit card
Am
And I crashed the very first time I drove my parents' car

E
Teardrops, we've made friends between screens
E7
And deep seas, steal hearts while teens scream our ears off
A
You mightn't believe it, a life full of streaming is real tough
Am
It feels rough sometimes, but that's the real stuff

E
Day by day, puttin' on a brave face (hey)
E7
Playing games, taking pain straight away (yay)
A
Maybe made mistakes but it's A-okay (wait)
Am
We all need to take a break

E               E7                               A                     
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
                   Am
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
E               E7                                 A            
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit o' the breeze
                   Am
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea

E
I'm just tryna keep my life afloat but never quite coping
E7
I feel the heat beneath my collar whenever I'm joking
A
Know most people aren't evil though, some really just wanna watch you burn
Am
So you're on edge and sweating, dreading making wrong turns

E
Treading on eggshells, laying on a bed of nails
E7
Do-do-don't you take a wrong step or else you'll get impaled (get impaled)
A
I'm just a happy guy, paddling through the angry tide
Am
Online emotions amplified, I try to let it pass me by (woo)

E
Can't keep everybody pacified, satisfied appetites
E7
My frazzled and distracted mind is acting like a satellite
A
So many transmissions, every day I'm twitching

Wishing that things were just an itty bit different
Am
I know I shouldn't complain at the end of the day, but it's a British tradition

E
Day by day, puttin' on a brave face (hey)
E7
Playing games, taking pain straight away (woo)
A
Maybe made mistakes but it's A-okay (wait)
Am
We all need to take a break (hey)

E               E7                               A              
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe
                   Am
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
E               E7                                 A
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit o' the breeze
                   Am
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea

( E  E7  A  Am )

E
Day by day, puttin' on a brave face
E7
Playing games, taking pain straight away
A
Maybe made mistakes but it's A-okay
Am
We all need to take a break

E
So I'll be chilling when the tide is low (woah, oh, oh)
E7
'Cause I wanna take it slow (woah, oh, oh)
A
And I can't sing the next note
                Am
But I brought a bro (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

E               E7                               A
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little space to breathe (yeah)
                   Am
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea
E               E7                                 A
If I'm gonna be honest, I need a little bit o' the breeze
                   Am
And I'm living and loving my life by the sea (woah-ah-ah-ah)

E               E7
Life by the sea
A
Life by the sea
Am              E
Life by the sea
