Intro 
G C G C G 

 
            C 
 I         saw the waters rising 
G           C 
 I saw some  people go 
   G         C         G 
I tried to  fight the currents but 
                                    C 
I cant control the way the rivers flow 

    D 
So why not let it go 
G C G C G      C 
          The weathermen keeps talking 

G 
 I see the sun but 
C 
I miss the snow 
 G 
Feel like a dead man walking 
       G 
Cause when Im in the snow 
            C 
I miss the coast 

D                      G

G C  G 
      Ill always find a hundred reasons 
        D 
 to be mad 
                          G 
A thousand reasons to be sad 
         D            Em 
All the chances that I've missed 
       C 
I could spend my day out in 
     D 
the dark 
                              G 
And let the sadness break my heart 
         D     Em 
See the world for what it is 
Am                             D 
  But I dont wanna live like this 
                G 
Today Ill be an optimist

                 C 
I still believe in open windows 
G            C 
 Each days a brand new start 
G               C 
 Sometimes the truth is simple 
G                             C 
 Good things dont always fall apart 
D                                G 
 And dreaming big it ain't that hard

A thousand reasons to be sad 
         D            Em 
All the chances that Ive missed 
   C 
I could spend my days out in 
     D

                              G 
And let the sadness break my heart 
               Em
