D D/C# Bm G A D
Its like I just woke up one morning, looked at the way that we live
D D/C# Bm G A D
Thought things could be so much better, there must be better than this
Pre-Chorus
Bm Bm/A# A A/G#
And if I relocated to where the grass is greener

Maybe Id be happy again

But Im a little bit disappointed, coz now I've got my freedom

But Im still looking over the fence

Its always the same at the end of the day

verse 2
Its like the hands on the clock stopped turning
Right at the moment you left
You went looking for something better
You stopped me dead in my tracks
Pre-Chorus 2
Its a bittersweet emotion
That I'm feeling baby, now you're happy again
But I'm a little bit disappointed
Cos now you've got your freedom
But you're still looking over the fence
