Life's too short to even care at all oh oh oh

These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh oh oh Oh oh oh

D D F#m F#m A A
If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away

If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away
A A G G Em Em A A
To some fortune that I should have found by now
F#m F#m G G D D
And so I run now to the things they say could restore me
D D F#m F#m A A
Restore life the way it should be

I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

Restore life the way it should be

I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down

One more spoon of cough syrup now oh oh oh
