[Intro]

A F#m C#m E (x2)

[Verse]

A                          F#m
In vibrant hues and subtle brush strokes of memory
Bm                           E
The life I've painted I've sold for a quick twenty
A                            F#m
It's on display now for the privileged and the wealthy
Bm                      E
God, I despise their reassuring, lying eyes
A                                 F#m
Our home stands tall behind that foreclosure sign
Bm                 E
Everything in boxes from another lifetime
A                            F#m
Continental breakfast in the lobby
Bm                         E
But they're always out of coffee

[Chorus]

A  F#m    C#m                      E                   A
..........Only a fool would think living could be easy
A  F#m    C#m                      E
..........Only a fool would think living could be easy

[Verse]

A                          F#m
This little motel room on I-80 west of nowhere
Bm                           E
Why count the stars? You'll never know where you are
A                              F#m
Somewhere light years from the world you used to know
       Bm
Like a lock that doesn't turn
        E
Like a plant that doesn't grow
A                        F#m
Long for the words with hearts and wings
      Bm                    E
From five states over, I'm running from everything
A                            F#m
Continental breakfast in the lobby
Bm                         E
But they're always out of coffee

[Chorus]

A  F#m    C#m                      E                   A
..........Only a fool would think living could be easy
A  F#m    C#m                      E
..........Only a fool would think living could be easy

[Bridge]

Bm             F#m
Oh you know it breaks my heart
Bm                       F#m    A
Watching your whole life fall apart
      Bm                 F#m
While bastards dance off with the night
      C#m                                  A
As we try to break free with all our might

[Chorus]

A  F#m    C#m                      E                   A
..........Only a fool would think living could be easy
A  F#m    C#m                      E
..........Only a fool would think living could be easy
A  F#m    C#m                      E                   A
..........Only a fool would think living could be easy
A  F#m    C#m                      E                   A
..........Only a fool would think living could be easy

[Outro]

A                          F#m                     Bm
In vibrant hues and subtle brush strokes of memory
                            E                      A
The life I've painted I've sold for a quick twenty
