[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][F][Em]
[G][D][G][F][Em][G]

[Verse 1]
It's one of those times that [D]I,
Can't seem to find the word
[Dm]s or thoughts,[F]
These hazy eyes,
the [Em]perfect partner to my [G]weary mind,
And its not been a matter [D]of days
In fact its felt like an age [F]since
I last sat down or,
[Em]Saw a town that wasn't
linked [G]by [C]shores.

[Verse 2]
And fatigues soon ig[Dm]nored,
[G]As your feet hit the[C] board,
or as the beat hits [D]the floor,
These are the [Dm]moments
that we [G]live [C]for,
The ones who constantly [D]try,
[G]to ap [D]pease our nine to [G]fiv[C]es
They are the ones that justi[D]fy,
all the [G]things that we forsake.

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][F][Em][C][Em]
[G][D][F][Em][G]

[Verse 3]
You are not your [D]job,
and you are not the [F]clothes you wear,
You are the words that [Em]leave your mouth
so speak up, speak up [G]loud,
For none of us want [D]to sit,
In evaluations [F]taking notes for hours,
We're all [Em]sick and tired of wait[C]ing,
lets set sail.

[Verse 4]
And fatigues soon ig[D]nored,
As your feet [Bm]hit t[C]he board,
or the beat hits [D]the floor,
These are the moments
that we live [C]for,
The ones who constantly [D]try,
to appease our [Bm]nine to [C]fives
They are the ones that justi[D]fy,

[Verse 5]
all the things that we forsake.
[G]Why do we look to the tid[Am]e when,
We [G]find that [C]our minds are getting [G]stale,
Why does it bag me this [Am]place on the waves,
[G][C][G]
And are we looking for meaning,
[Am]from demeani[G]ng,
[C]The soul destroying [G]task,
We do all [Am]the time on the shore.
[G]

[Verse 6]
[C]
And as [G]I picture you on [Dsus4]the television,
Talking [D]all [G]the seller hook past
[D]all the [Dsus4]people walking,
[D]Its [G]about then that I [D]real[Dsus4]ise that your
[D]the same as [Dsus4]me,[D][Dsus4][D]
So [G]call me Ishmael,
[Dsus4]we are all striving for,[G]
The thing that makes this
[Dsus4]grind worth surviving bab[D]y,
[G]I won't wait long f[D]or one
[Dsus4]little moment,
[D]Where our dream's to feel alive.

[Verse 7]
And as I [G]picture you on the
[D]televi[Dsus4]sion,
Talking [G]all the seller hook past
[D]all the [Dsus4]people walking,
[D]Its [G]about then that I [D]realise [Dsus4]that
your [D]the same as [Dsus4]me,[D]
So [G]call me Ishmael,
[D]we are [Dsus4]all striving for,[D]
The [G]thing that makes this grind
[D]wor[Dsus4]th surviving baby,[D]
[G]I won't wait l[D]ong for one
[Dsus4]little moment,
[D]Where our dream's to feel [Dsus4]alive
