[Verse 1]
G          Cadd9
Most of us, have learned to trust

        Em7              D
What we see with our own eyes

         Am       Bm     C      D    G
But with blinders on you hardly realize

                 Cadd9
That out of view, it's still true

     Em7            D
Even when no one's around

       Am      Bm       C   D
We can stumble and fall down
[Chorus]
G                   Cadd9
Sunshine burns your skin

G                       D                 Am     Bm          C       D
Sometimes the things we love so much just eat us up from the outside in

G                 Cadd9
Oceans blue will drown

G                          D                     Am       Bm           C          D
I could find a way to live with your ghost but I won't be happy till I leave this town
[Instrumental] G Cadd9 [Verse 2]
G                 Cadd9
It's just as well, it's hard to tell

          Em7                 D
'Cause my hindsight's crystal clear

        Am        Bm         C        D         G
But the view from then's not like the view from here

                 Cadd9
If you are passed through a looking glass

    Em7               D
The important parts appear

        Am      Bm       C        D
But the details start to smear
[Chorus]
G                   Cadd9
Sunshine burns your skin

G                       D                 Am     Bm          C       D
Sometimes the things we love so much just eat us up from the outside in

G                 Cadd9
Oceans blue will drown

G                          D                     Am       Bm           C          D
I could find a way to live with your ghost but I won't be happy till I leave this town
[Bridge]
D                 Am        G                 A
When I leave this town, and move the point of view I found

D               Am        G                   A            D     C    G    D
Sun seems to go down, but it just burns while we all spin around
[Verse 3]
G          Cadd9
I ran fast, but I came last

         Em7              D
'Cause although I set the pace

       Am              Bm             C         D
It was rigged from the start that I'd lose this race

G
Gone and done

      Cadd9
Before it had begun

          Em7                      D
Seems the cup's half full till its overflowed

         Am      Bm            C       D
Then you run and run till your heart explodes
[Chorus]
G                   Cadd9
Sunshine burns your skin

G                       D                 Am     Bm          C       D
Sometimes the things we love so much just eat us up from the outside in

G                 Cadd9
Oceans blue will drown

G                          D                     Am       Bm           C          D
I could find a way to live with your ghost but I won't be happy till I leave this town

G      D
(Sunshine)
[Outro]
  Am       Bm           C          D     G     D
I won't be happy till I leave this town (sunshine)

Am       Bm           C          D     G
Won't be happy till I leave this town
