[Am] [F#m] Life sips in the night, [D] you keep passing me by
We're just [A] wasting time, trying to prove who's right
And [F#m] if it all goes crashing into [A] the sea
It's just you and me, trying to find a [B] light
[E] Life [F#m] sips in the night, let a can of moss fly
[D] Say what you mean and it turns to a fight
[A] It's clock in my mouth, it's gonna turn south
[E] You're down to drive, we'll pop on the couch
[F#m] Chasing your dreams since the silent fifth grade
[D] Trying to believe in your silent own way
Cause [A] we'll be okay, I've not grown away
You [E] watched it 14 as it went down the [F#m] drain
Your pops say the same and your mom's through the way
How [D] many of our parents seem to make it anyway?
[A] You're just fumbling through the gray
Trying to find a heart that's not walking away
[F#m] Burning lights down the [D] walls alone
[A] Can't see you so far, [E] you're so close
Life [F#m] sips in the night, you keep [D] passing me by
[A] We're just wasting time, trying to prove who's [F#m] right
And if it all goes [D] crashing into the sea
It's just [A] you and me, trying to find a light
Life sips [F#m] in the night, you're [D] passing me by
[A]
Passing me by, life sips in the [Bm] night
[F#m] I'm at the airport waiting on the second plane
[D] Had to pack and you glimpsed and [A] I was late
Headed to a red carpet, they won't know my name
[E] Riding inside, it's all that we wanna say
[F#m] Bout the board when you call on the phone
[D] You say I'm sorry I'll be waiting at home
[A] Feels like we're burning this out on our own
Trying to find a way down a road we don't know
[F#m] Burning lights down the [D] walls alone
[A] Can't see you so far, [E] you're so close
Life [F#m] sips in the night, you keep [D] passing me by
[A] We're just wasting time, trying to prove who's right
And [F#m] if it all goes [D] crashing into the sea
It's just you [A] and me, trying to find a light
Life sips [F#m] in the night, you're [D] passing me by
[A]
Passing me by, life sips in the night
[F#m] [A] [E]
[A]
[F#m] [D]
[A]
[F#m] Run off my mind, back [A] to your shine
Run
[F#m] off my mind, back [A] to your shine
Life [F#m] sips in the night, you keep passing me by
We're [A] just wasting time, trying to prove who's right
[F#m] And if it all goes crashing [D] into the sea
It's [A] just you and me, trying to find a light
Life sips in the night, you're passing [D] me by
[A] Passing me by, life sips in the night
