verse 1 
G                     C      G 
you love comfort, and that's okay 
Em                 C      G 
you live life from day to day 
G                     C            G 
the future can always sit back and wait 
Em                         C        G 
let's just hope you never make a mistake 

G C G 

G                          C     G 
it's hard to see through a foggy haze 
Em                              C     G 
the things you could've learned yesterday 
G                        C          G 
despite the whiskey and staying up late 
    Em                       C        G 
the pleasant feelings always start to fade 

G 

Pre-Chorus 
Em         C 
i hope you know 
Em         C 
i hope you know 
Em         C       G 
i hope you know-oh-oh 

Chorus 
    Em              C         G 
our lives are never quite our own 
     Em                   C        G 
great stories hide in the smallest bones 
    Em                      C    G 
whenever you make it to the very top 
      Em                      C    G 
is it really an ocean or just many drops? 

G C G 


verse 2 
    G                          C        G 
the dogs are dreaming so we'll let them lie 
        Em                        C        G 
they're chasing summer, but their eyes are blind 
G                     C        G 
muscles tear and the skin will sag 
Em                            C     G 
bones are brittle but they're all we have 

G C G 

     G                   C        G 
it's warmer here but the world is wide 
Em                     C        G 
for all who wander and play outside 
G                    C      G 
if i said that i was moving on 
      Em                          C      G 
would you still want me, or would you be gone? 

G 

Pre-Chorus 
Em         C 
i hope you know 
Em         C 
i hope you know 
Em         C       G 
i hope you know-oh-oh 

Chorus 
    Em              C         G 
our lives are never quite our own 
     Em                   C        G 
great stories hide in the smallest bones 
    Em                      C    G 
whenever you make it to the very top 
      Em                      C    G 
is it really an ocean or just many drops?
