Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
C
Am
Em C Em
F
[Verse 1]
C
When I fall asleep at night
C
I wish my brain could sneak away
C
Increase my pace and hop the gate
C
And travel to another plane
Am
First I'd find my evil twin
Am
Then I will make best friends with it
Am
We'd both hate the same things
Am
And waste some hours talking shit
C
We could write some songs
C
Joel would be impressed
C
We complete each other's lines
C
Because our stupid brains connect
Am
But because that
Am
Our serotonin would crash
Am
At approximately the same time
Am
And we both would need a nap
F
Goddamn
[Chorus]
Am
Sunbathe
F
Looking like a Sunday
C
Wishing for a someday
G
I could run away like that
Am F
Now I think I need a life or maybe 9
C G
'Cause I feel like I’m running out of time, yea
Am F
Someday maybe on a Sunday
C
I can sit and sun bathe
G
I could run away like that
Am F
Now I think I need a life or maybe 9
C G C
'Cause I’m feeling like I’m running out of time
[Instrumental]
F
Em
Am
[Verse 2]
C
I've seen a place I'd like to stay
C
Nirvana, but it's far away
C
Yeah, it might take a couple planes
C
And parachutes for my escape
Am
Jump face-first into the sun
Am
We’ve got the same sunglasses on
Am
My solar eyes grow polarized
Am
But the blinding light is so much fun
F
Maybe paradise
F
Is somewhere deep inside
C
The halls or walls
C
Where I've spent all my time
Am
Building my whole life
Am
Where I feel alright
G
‘Cause I never wanna leave the secret life of me
N.C.
The secret life of me
[Chorus]
Am
Sunbathe
F
Looking like a Sunday
C
Wishing for a someday
G
I could run away like that
Am F
Now I think I need a life or maybe 9
C G
'Cause I feel like I’m running out of time, yea
Am F
Someday maybe on a Sunday
C
I can sit and sun bathe
G
I could run away like that
Am F
Now I think I need a life or maybe 9
C G
'Cause I’m feeling like I’m running out of time
[Bridge]
Am F
I feel like I’m running out of time
C
Real life never feels like it’s mine
G Am F
So I’ll dissociate until I’m fine
C G
Until I’m fine
Am F
I keep my eyes wide shut
C G
Live a secret life for fun
Am F C G
Away from anyone and everyone
[Chorus]
PALM MUTE/PLAY SOFTER
Am
And someday I will Sunbathe
F
Looking like a Sunday
C
Wishing for a someday
G
I could run away like that
REGULAR STRUMMING
Am F
Now I think I need a life or maybe 9
C G
'Cause I feel like I’m running out of time, yea
Am F
Someday maybe on a Sunday
C
I can sit and sun bathe
G
I could run away like that
Am F
Now I think I need a life or maybe 9

Sunbathe
Looking like a Sunday
Wishing for a someday
I could run away like that
Now I think I need a life or maybe nine
'Cause I feel like I'm running out of time, yea
Someday maybe on a Sunday
I can sit and sun bathe
I could run away like that
