[1st Verse]
 
 
E             G#m
Feel like I'm dying
       A         E
Or I'm half-dead anyway
E         G#m
Too many dark days
A                 E
Strung out in the sunshine state
 
E               G#m
I was almost a kid there
      A                E
But I grew up fast and hard
E                    G#m
I guess you make all kind of mistakes
           A                E
Before you find out who you are
 
 
[2nd Verse]
 
E             G$m
Feel like I'm fighting
        A             E
To hold on to something dear
E        G#m
Too many friends I loved
    A                  E
Let go when things got real
 
E                 G#m
One left me these secrets
          A        E
I've been carrying around
 E                 G#m
'Cause she said to protect 'em
      A              E
And I will not let her down
 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 
C#m            B
I wish I could tell you
         A             E
Just how beautiful she feels
C#m            B
I wish I could tell you I've been
A                  E
With her all thеse years
 
C#m            B
I wish I could tell you
            A               E
Shе'll come back for me one day
    B
But she's in a better place
        A
And I'm stuck here in the sunshine state
                  E    G#m    A    E
The sunshine state
                  E    G#m    A    E
The sunshine state
 
 
 
[3rd Verse]
 
 
E             G#m
Feel like I'm lying
       A                 E
When I say that place is home
E                         G#m
'Cause it feels like it's keeping
      A                  E
who I was from where I'm going
 
E             G#m
I am almost a kid here
         A                E
When I'm playing fast and loud
E                      G#m
Come tomorrow, I'll be halfway gone
        A                        E
But I'm all the way here right now
        (immediate palm mute after the A)
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 
C#m            B
I wish I could tell you
         A             E
Just how beautiful she feels
C#m            B
I wish I could tell you I've been
A                  E
With her all thеse years
 
C#m            B
I wish I could tell you
            A               E
Shе'll come back for me one day
    B
But she's in a better place
        A
And I'm stuck here in the sunshine state
                  E    G#m    A    E
The sunshine state
                  E    G#m    A    E
The sunshine state
                  E    G#m    A    E
The sunshine state
