Tap any chord in the song to see its shape. The boxes are drawn right-handed; Lefty flips them, which is how I actually play. Use − and + to move the whole song into a key that suits your voice, or tap Capo 3 to see the real chords with no capo.
Transposed. The chord names and boxes have moved; any tab on this page is still written for the original key.
Waking up to morning light, the world feels out of place
Faces pass by, each one an enigma I can't trace
Through the noise and through the crowd, I walk alone
Every step I take, feels like I'm made of stone
I'm running scripts, no spontaneity
With every breath, a fight for sanity
bouncy
And it all feels so surreal,
As I struggle to conceal
Through the highs and through the lows,
I'm a fish in the jungle, and it shows
Walking down these busy streets, I'm overwhelmed
With every moment, every beat, I feel expelled
Taking things too literally, I lose my way
With no one here to guide me through another day
ChorusSame as Chorus. Tap to open.
I'm running scripts, no spontaneity
With every breath, a fight for sanity
bouncy
And it all feels so surreal,
As I struggle to conceal
Through the highs and through the lows,
I'm a fish in the jungle, and it shows
Every dream I hold inside, now feels like a lie
With every challenge, every stride, I want to cry
Too many thoughts, all overlapping, I feel small
Lost in translation, I can't understand it all
Chorus (Past Tense, Slow)Same as Chorus. Tap to open.
I'm running scripts, no spontaneity
With every breath, a fight for sanity
bouncy
And it all feels so surreal,
As I struggle to conceal
Through the highs and through the lows,
I'm a fish in the jungle, and it shows
