The Rest Of My Life

Fmaj7 riff = Fmaj7 Am7 Fmaj7


[Verse 1]

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.


[Verse 2]

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.

[Chorus]

          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.


[Bridge]

Fm Bb6

Fm                           Bb6
Roommates, friends, lovers - quiet.

I'm coming to.
                   Fm                 Bb6
I'm turning myself in-to some-thing a little less promising,
              F
A little mo-re useful.


[Final Chorus]

    (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.
