verse 1: Sung while playing above.
Open house was on a Sunday-
It's getting harder to pretend.
People pushing through the door-
Wearing clothes they can't afford;
I always said I'd never be like one of them.
Between the younger years of restless
And the settled here-and-now.
All these questions that I ask-
And now that I am looking back,
I see that what I had was what I found.
Chorus:
B G#m F#/G B
So why did I wish for a better life?
G#m F#/G E
After everything that I tried-
F#/G
I couldn't see it.
B G#m
But if I only understood.
E
It's the only place
F#/G
I never thought to look.
verse 2: Sung while playing tabs above
Somehow I never even noticed-
All the beauty in between.
A simple word, a quiet house-
A kiss before we fall asleep here on the couch.
All I have is all I need.
Chorus:
B G#m F#/G B
So why did I wish for a better life?
G#m F#/G E
After everything that I tried-
F#/G
I couldn't see it.
B G#m
But if I only understood.
E
It's the only place
F#/G
I never thought to look.
E B G#m F#/G
Ohh. Thought to
E B G#m F#/G
look. Ohh, ohh.
B E F#/G
Between the younger years of restless
B E F#/G
And the settled here-and-now.
Oh, why did I doubt?
Chorus:
B G#m F#/G B
So why did I wish for a better life?
G#m F#/G E
After everything that I tried-
F#/G
I couldn't see it.
B G#m
But if I only understood.
E
It's the only place
F#/G
I never thought to look.
