VERSE
G                        A
No one tells you when you’re young

That life is full of questions

And there aren’t that many answers
G                                     A
But I’ve come to believe

Sometimes yes or no

Depends on circumstances

G                                     A
Every morning I wake up,

Stare into my coffee cup
G                                     G
Never knowing what I’ll find

Every day’s a brand new day

I’m just tryna find a way

To leave the other ones behind

And I don’t mind

‘Cause I am only human after all

Well then once upon a time

Seems like only yesterday

I thought I’d live forever

But now every breath I take

I don’t dare speculate

We can’t predict the weather

Every morning I wake up,

Stare into my coffee cup

Never knowing what I’ll find

I’m just tryna find a way

To leave the other ones behind
