Nickel Creek – Rest Of My Life (Guitar)

Fmaj7  C
                The battle is over.

Fmaj7  C
                Here we all lie

Fmaj7   Am
                 In a dry sea of Solo cups

Fmaj7   G
               With the sun in our eyes.

Fmaj7   C
              But it's one of those endings

Fmaj7   C                                                         Am D 
              Where no one claps 'cause they're sure that there's mo-re.

D/F#      G            F               Em         Dm         C
   What a great way to start the first day of the rest of my life.

Fmaj7   C
              I guess the show's going on.

Fmaj7   Am
                 So we pick up the pieces

Fmaj7   G
              We dropped for a song

Dm      C
             And an ear-splitting headache

Fmaj7   C                                                           Am D
              That makes it hard to figure out which puzzle they're f-or.    

          F                          G#
But I can leave this part out of the story I write.

              G             F                Em          Dm       (Fm)       
And there are worse ways to start the first day of the rest of my life.

Fm                           Bb6
Roommates, friends, lovers - quiet.

                   Fm                 Bb6
I'm turning myself in-to some-thing a little less promising,

              F
A little mo-re useful.

    (F)
The battle is over.

F  Em  Dm  C                                                 Am  D
                     We lost, but we'll live to call off the wa-ar.

               Am                     D
Don't that ceiling look high from the floor?

         F                        G#
Don't it hurt just to move  As we shrink from the light?

      Bb                     Dm               C
As it pierces our bodies and thaws out our hearts.

       G/B          Am        G                Fmaj7     Fm
What a great way to start the first day of the rest of 

                      C
The rest of my life.
