These [F]days my waves get lost in the oceans

[Bb]Traded for some faces [Dm]that I never know, notion
[F]Maybe I should try to find the old me

Tryin' to [F]disconnect, thinking maybe you could show me
If there's [Bb]so many people here, then [Dm]why am I so lonely?

[F]Real friends, good friends are hard to find, let's face it
[Bb]Buy the perfect home and there's [Dm]a flood in the basement
[F]Made a couple dollars now and I ain't tryin' to chase it
[Bb]Kids from Oklahoma, [Dm]man we don't waste it
[F]I'm just tryin' to paint the picture for me
Something I c[Bb]could give a damn about at [Dm]maybe 40
Years and I be [F]ready and willing and able to edit the story
Cause there's so [Bb]many people here to be [Dm]so damn lonely

Right now, [F]right now, I'm switching to a new lane
