In order to move on

You made a bad decision but it's over now
B E
And what matters is what's next
[Chorus]
A C#m B
If life was a suit I'd have no buttons on my jacket
A C#m B
And if life was a rowing boat I'd only have one oar
A C#m B A
The universe inspires while my social life it tires me

And I only wish I had a little more to give

Sometimes you'll find it hard to be yourself
[Verse 2]
E A
Think of all the places you have been
E
And how you'd rather visit others

The good thing is the world is going nowhere
B E A
We'll see it all eventually
E A
Now think of all the people you have met

Some you share your life with

And the others you forget

But their existence is important
A B E
They remind us of the good ones that are left
[Chorus]

And I only wish I had a little more to give

Sometimes you'll find it hard to be yourself
[Bridge]
A C#m B A
Now lower all your weapons, I think it's time we called a truce
A C#m B A
Between the man you have invented and the man you are in truth
A B C#m B A B
We've made some bad decisions, to put it bluntly we have really fucked things up
A E
And the only real consequence is love
[Verse 3]
E A
Now think all of the smiles you get to smile
E A
Think of something happy you haven't thought of in a while
B A
I'll be the first one to admit that it's not easy
E
But it's always worth a try
[Chorus]

If life was a suit I'd have no buttons on my jacket

And I only wish I had a little more to give

Sometimes you'll find it hard to be yourself

Sometimes you'll find it hard to be yourself
