[Verse]

Em9                       GM7sus4/C
Baby, I’ve been feeling a bit on edge
Em9                           GM7sus4/C
Lately, I’ve been careless at making bets
            
Living in a wo

             
rld where it’s

        
 always Monday
           
One AM and dar

k, and it’s al

ways pouring
              
Where you can 

         
feel the weigh

t of a new day

 rising
            
By the neon fu

          
ries of advert


ising
GM7sus4/C                   Em9
But baby, we’re not here to stay

[Pre-Chorus]

            
So hey, hey, h

          
ey, hush, don’

            
t be crying no

        
w, hear
           
'Cos any day f

           
ortune may wan

der down, dear

[Chorus]

              
And we can see

   
 a world that 

is milk and ho

ney
              
The tapestry o

             
f life as a be

        
autiful journe

y
              
There’s always

   
 a promise of 

a silver linin

There’s that e

      
lation of perf

   
ect timing

In a perfect w

[Verse]

Em9                           GM7sus4/C
Baby, I can see through their idle threats
   Em9                           GM7sus4/C
So easy I can walk through their bayonets
         
But even still

 I can stumble

 and fall
              
And every step

   
 I miss, it st

ill takes its 

toll
           
Even if I wise

              
 up there’s al

       
ways a price
             
Serenity betra

ys and trouble

s arise
