Verse
C G
I took my sister down to the ocean
C Am G
But the ocean made me feel stupid
F C
Those words of wisdom I had prepared
F D
All seemed to vanish into thin air
G F Em Dm
Into the waves I stared
(C Am G F)(x4) with violin part
C G
I picked up a seashell to illustrate my homelessness
C Am G
But a crab crawled out of it making it useless
F C
And all my metaphors fell flat
F D
Down on the rocks where we sat
G F Em Dm
She asked where are you at?
Chorus
C Am G
But sister, it's the opposite of hallelujah
F C
It's the opposite of being you
Am G
You don't know 'cause it just passes right through you
F C Am G
You don't know what I'm going through
F C Am G
You don't know what I'm going through
F C Am G
You don't know what I'm going through
F C Am G
You don't know what I'm going through
Verse
C G
We made our way home on the bikes we had borrowed
C Am G
I still never told you about unstoppable sorrow
F C
You still think I'm someone to look up to
F D
I still don't know anything about you
G F Em Dm
Is it in you too?
Pre-Chorus
C Am G F
You've got so much to live for, little
C Am G F
sister, You've got so much to live for
[Refrão] C Am G
But sister, it's the opposite of hallelujah
F C
It's the opposite of being you
Am G
You don't know 'cause it just passes right through you
F C Am G
You don't know what I'm going through
F C Am G
You don't know what I'm going through
F C Am G
You don't know what I'm going through
F C Am G F
You don't know what I'm going through
(C Am G F)
