Well,
[D] [A] Hundreds of Ways to me, I mean, I think of it as a song of kind of encouragement.
Like it recognizes that like life is suffering and that there's so many [A] horrible things that
happen all the time, every day throughout the world.
You know, your choices are really to [E] throw in the towel and give up, [A] curl into a ball
or [D] just like exit [A] the stage or whatever.
Or you can like [F#] figure out what works for you and like, you know, get through the day
and that there's really no right or wrong answers to that.
It's like it's up to the individual to find what works for them, [A] you know.
[D] [A]
What a thing to be [D] a witness to [A] the sunshine.
What a dream to just be [D] walking on the ground.
What a [F#m] time to live [C#m] among the ashen [D]
remnants of a [A] love that came before.
I'm still [E] looking for that now.
It took centuries [F#] to build these twisted [A] cities.
And it took seconds to [F#] reduce them to [A]
dust.
All [F#m] the tourists back, [C#m] sales taker, [D] pictures, folks, [A] it's late.
Try your best please to [E] remember what [A] you've done.
[D] Don't look so forlorn.
Don't you look [A] so scared.
[D] Don't get so upset.
This world was never [A] fair.
There [E] are hundreds of [D] ways to get through the day.
There [E] are hundreds of ways [D] so you just find [A] one.
[D] [A]
I used to think [F#] that time was of [A] the essence.
Now I just [F#] wish I could [A] sleep.
For the [F#m] strange [C#m] parade of sound the city [D] makes when I lie down.
I hear the little explosions that [E] set fire to [A] my dreams.
Sometimes I get [D] mistaken for the sad jerk.
And I guess that I [D] can't see it from the [A] side.
Maybe [F#m] no one really [C#m] seems to be [D] the person that [A] they mean to be.
I will find the [E] garden when I die.
[D] Don't contradict me.
Don't make me cross the [A]
line.
[D] If you feel threatened, only cause [A] I'm mine.
[E] There are hundreds of ways [D] to get through the day.
There [E] are hundreds of [D] ways to get through the day.
There [E] are hundreds of ways [D] so you just find [A] one.
[E] All my [D] heroes, they're all tall.
[E] Running in circles, [D] some stopwatch, some [E] chaos.
What was the message?
[D] Oh, it's how [F#m] we ran [C#] along [D] and on.
We [F#m] ran [C#m]
along [D] and on.
[A]
[D] [A]
I stole all the rhinestones out of Carolina.
And then I sold them out [D] in Bakersfield for [A] cash.
[A]
Oh, the [F#m] band shell got its [C#m] band sound like [D] an arcade [A] in Japan.
Blew all my quarters [E] trying to get that feeling [A] back.
And he sucked me, [D] turned boredom [A] into violence.
Sociopath riding on a bus.
And [F#m] his irises [A] are black from his novelty contacts.
He looks around, he [E] can't see the rest [A] of us.
[D]
In my sunglasses, I don't find the blinding [A] light.
[D]
Oh, it's getting dark, but I always love [A] the night.
And [E] there are hundreds of [D] ways to get through the day.
There are [E] hundreds of ways [D] to get through the day.
There [E] are hundreds of ways [D] to get through the day.
There are hundreds of ways [D] to get through the day.
There [E] are hundreds and hundreds [D] and hundreds of ways
to [E] get through the day.
Just find [A] one.
