   G,   Cadd9,Em7    C     D    Am
 
Add capo if you feel like it, I feel comfortable singing it without a capo.
 
[Verse 1]
G                          Cadd9
I think I've been telling lies,
Em7                      Cadd9
cause I've never been in love.
G                      Cadd9                         Em7                     Cadd9
Everyone falls for the sunshine disguise, distracted by who they're thinking of.
 
[Verse 2]
G                   Cadd9
I'd rather date an idea;
Em7                  Cadd9
something I'll never find.
           G
Sure, I'll live in the moment,
        Cadd9
but I'm never happy here
     Em7                          Cadd9
I'm surrounded by greener looking time.
 
[Chorus]
 
C
Am I the only one
         D
wishing life away?
      G
Never caught up in the moment
     D
busy begging the past to stay
Am                    C
Memories painted with much brighter ink;
      G
they tell me I loved, teach me how to think.
 
[Verse 3]
 
G                    Cadd9
I'll take what I can get
Em7                      Cadd9
cause I'm too damp for a spark.
        G
Kissing sickly sweet guys
           Cadd9
cause they say they like my eyes
        Em7                       Cadd9
but I'd only ever see them in the dark.
 
[Verse 4]
 
G                  Cadd9
I'm sick of faking diary entries,
       Em7                     Cadd9
got to get it in my head; I'll never be sixteen again
    G                    Cadd9
I'm waiting to live, and waiting to love
            Em7                            Cadd9
oh it'll be over, and I'll still be asking when.
 
[Chorus]
 
C
Am I the only one
        D
wishing life away?
      G
Never caught up in the moment
     D
busy begging the past to stay
Am                    C
Memories painted with much brighter ink;]
      G
they tell me I loved, teach me how to think.
 
 
G                  Cadd9
I'm sick of faking diary entries,
       Em7                     Cadd9
got to get it in my head; I'll never be sixteen again
    G                      Cadd9
I'm waiting to live, still waiting to love
            Em7                            Cadd9
oh it'll be over, and I'll still be asking when
            Em7                            G *
oh it'll be over, and I'll still be asking when.
