VERSE E* Sitting underneath this big oak tree don’t have anything to write about white apartment walls, a car, and a dog Your average old guy just working through a slog A I guess I don’t have a whole lot to say I could try to force something profound E Could act like my problems are worse than they are Lucky enough to be too lazy to get far

CHORUS A E (riff 1) Can’t get a chorus for free A E (riff 1) Wide awake, yet I still cant see A E (riff 1) Learned everything I could about the muse B B7 I think I’m doing all the stuff I’m supposed to do

E

VERSE E Sometimes I like to count my lucky stars Other times I like to watch them fade Imagine what could be if I could just release Making everyday different from today

So I’m still sitting under this tree Wishing the sunshine would turn into words Give the song an edge and make it sing So that others will come and sit with me

Chorus

VERSE Pens down, I close my guitar case Guess today just isn’t the day Maybe it will come out if I work a little more Then tomorrow will be the day that I sing.

Here’s a chance to take it to the bridge But a bridge is no use when you’re going nowhere So instead I’ll just finish this verse One last line and back to the chorus
