[Intro]
G             G7             C                   Cm
I just don’t see a whole lot of sun
G                         D                       G
And lately I just can’t seem to have any fun
G     G7             C             Cm
I look outside my window
G                         D                         G
It’s so dark I feel my eyes begin to close

[Chorus]
G                         G7
Seasonal depression’s
C                         Cm
Got me sleeping off the days
G                         D                         G
And I’ve wasted all my time feeling grey

[Post-Chorus]
G                                                 G7
When the sun peeks out I sit outside
C                         Cm
To bask in my tiny bit of light
G                         D             G
To warm, the cold that I feel inside

[Verse 1]
G
Been locked up in here
G7
With the rain coming down
C
I tried to fool myself
Cm
To lift up my frown
G                                   D                                     G
But a cup of tea and a nap don’t solve my problems
G
I don’t like LA
G7
‘Cept for tacos and Venice
C
But God I would move
Cm
Get some rays and play tennis
G                                   D                         G
And tell my Lyft driver to turn up the volume

[Chorus]
G                         G7
Seasonal depression’s
C                                Cm
Got me sleeping off the days
G                         D                         G
And I’ve wasted all my time feeling grey

[Post-Chorus]
G                                                 G7
When the sun peeks out I sit outside
C                         Cm
To bask in my tiny bit of light
G                         D                C
To warm, the cold that I feel inside

[Verse 2]
G             G7             C             Cm
We’re all just trying to get by
G                              D                         G
Searching desperately for a bit of blue in the sky
G             G7             C             Cm
Sometimes it’s hard to wake on up
G                                     D                         G
It takes more than loads of coffee in your cup

[Chorus]
G                         G7
‘Cause, seasonal depression’s
C                                     Cm
Got us sleeping off the days

And we’ve wasted all our time feeling grey
