[Verse 1]
D E
I write the B-sides
G D
That make a small portion of the world cry
D E
I like the seaside
G D
And singing songs that make you not wanna die
D E
Throw a stone into the sea
G D
And wait for it to come back to me
D E
Better get out on the boat
G D
'cause someone told me that stones don't float
[Chorus]
D E G D
D E G D
[Verse 2]
D E
I like to sit out back
G D
And look up at the squirrels in the trees
D E
They don't like radio tracks
G D
And they don't ever talk down to
D E
Throw a nut up in the tree
G D
Gonna fall right back on me
D E
well these guys know who they are
G D
And what they need is in their own backyard
[Interlude]
D E G D
[Chorus]
D E G D
D E G D
D E G D
D E G D
[Post Chorus]
[Verse 3]
D E
I like to play in the snow
G D
Stick my hand in now where did it go
D E
It might be mighty cold
G D
But that's all part of not doing what you're told
[Chorus]
D E G D
