Think in’ a bout where I been,

I mean the sun was nev er like this.

I wan na feel with the sea son, I guess it makes sense ’cause my life’s be (F)come as (Gm)vap id as a (Bb)night out (F)in Los (Gm)An gel es.

And (Bb)I just (F)wan na (Gm)stay in (F)bed

You (Bb)know that I am home.

So (Bb)dar lin’ if you (F)love me would you (C)let me know.

Or, (F)go on, go on, go on if you were think in’ that the (Gm)worst is yet to come.
