Intro: (3x, first time just synth, band comes in 2nd time) verse 1: Oh, when we were born, when we first arrived We took it all in through innocent eyes But we got jaded 'cause the beauty faded So now we fake it in worlds built in the sky No Chord But we keep coming up dry I'm waking up to what's around me I've lost too much to a fantasy I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by Just getting by Am I just getting by verse 2: Life can take a toll, everyday demands So much energy, so many mundane plans So we go digital, purely physical Hey, it's just medicinal No Chord We need to ease our minds I'm waking up to what's around me I've lost too much to a fantasy I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by Just getting by Am I just getting by Bridge: I want to be all here now Wherever I am, that's where I'll be found Staying present even in the fear now Life with open eyes Please don't pass me by Life, don't pass me by Life, don't pass me by Feel a spark when we look each other in the eye Riff: (2x) 2nd time only e|----77---------------77--------------77-----------------------------------12121212----| B|--------99-7-9-----------99-7-9----------99-7-9-----------5-----555-------(9)-(9)-----| G|----------------6----------------9---------------6----4h6---6---666--------9-9-9-9----| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| The 9(9)12 riff is also in the background of the Chorus all the way through I'm waking up to what's around me I've lost too much to a fantasy I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by Just getting by Am I just getting by ) I don't want to just get by
