| Fmaj7 | Fmaj7 | Em7 | Em7 Cmaj7 G |
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7
We been fighting so much
Fmaj7
Saying things we don't mean
Em7
Trading silence for chatter
Em7 Cmaj7 G
Digging up demons from when we were 18
Fmaj7
Shaking hands with regret
Fmaj7
Never got no one nowhere
Em7
Can we just start over
Em7 Cmaj7 G
Let it all go and live in this moment
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
Shut your mouth, close your eyes
Fmaj7
I just wanna listen to the band play
Em7
Ain't it nice to be alive
Em7
I just wanna listen to the band play
[Post-Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Fmaj7
We been trying so hard
Fmaj7
To get ahead in this race
Em7
We have lost all the joy
Em7 Cmaj7 G
Of why we do what we do in the first place
Fmaj7
Always tripping on future
Fmaj7
Letting fear interfere
Em7
Getting lost in the music
Em7 Cmaj7 G
Holding your hand and feeling you right here
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
Shut your mouth, close your eyes
Fmaj7
I just wanna listen to the band play
Em7
Ain't it nice to be alive
Em7
I just wanna listen to the band play
