[Intro]

G5      Csus2         
You say every other day, 
    D5
you wanna get away, 

you wanna see the country
G5     Csus2                 
I know this is just a phase, 
D5
you ain't going anywhere
 
 
[Interlude]

[Verse]

G          C                 
Same same, isn't it a shame? 
 D 
   We ain't gonna change, 
Em              C
 we ain't gonna listen
G         C               
Somewhere in the open air 
D                  Em       C
there is something missing
G               C                      
The old man, he wants to sell the land, 
D                      Em  C
buy himself a land and see other people
G     C                  D Em C
I can kinda understand it
 
 
[Chorus]

D             Em   C       D
 I think we're on to something
       Em     C           D
Hit me up when you're around
          Em    C      D
You don't own my nothing
         Em             C     G   C  D
You just like to let yourself down
         Em             C     G   C  D Em C
You just like to let yourself down
 
 
[Verse]

G                             
Be one the day that 
            D 
I was born, I was fully formed,
 Em         C
  I was on a mansion
G               C               D  Em C
But that name's too hard to mention
G               C                   
It'd be nice if I could get a slice, 
D                Em          C 
have it oustide, take a big ol' bite
G            C          D Em C
Paradise, it seems alright
 
 
[Chorus]

D             Em   C       D
 I think we're on to something
       Em     C           D
Hit me up when you're around
          Em    C      D
You don't own my nothing
         Em             C     G   C  D
You just like to let yourself down
         Em             C     G   C  D  Em C
You just like to let yourself down
 
 
[Bridge]

G                    C
I get to rambling talking about the animals
    D                        
Flipping around the channels, 
                          G
living in my new flannel pajamas
                     C    D Em C
Until the weather is warm
G                  
We're still here so 
    C
something is clearly working
    D
I'm certain the birds are chirping, 

I'm certain we will be hurting
      G              
If we make it through 
               C     D Em C
the eye of the storm
 
 
[Chorus]

D             Em   C       D
 I think we're on to something
       Em     C           D
Hit me up when you're around
          Em    C      D
You don't own my nothing
         Em             C     G   C  D
You just like to let yourself down
         Em             C     G   C  D
You just like to let yourself down
               Em   C G  C  D
I think you'll like it
         Em             C     G
You just like to let yourself down
