Standard (EADGBE)

 Key:

Verse 1

 I just unloaded the last box up two long flights of stairs

 and I realize that everything I own is in this room

 I don't know how I got here and I'm not sure how to start

 if you asked me to retrace myself it would probably be too far

 but I'm sitting on these wrinkled sheets and thinking to myself

 I might be happy

Chorus

and I just have to say

 the view looks fine from here

 everything seems nice this time of year

 and even though the future is unclear

 I might just stick around a while

Verse 2

 My landlord's name is Barbara and I sometimes call her mom

 her jersey accent reminds me just how far away from home I am

 and I love the way the traffic keeps moving down below

 seems the people in this city always have some place to go

 and there are couples walking everywhere as I sit all alone

 but I am happy

Chorus

and I just have to say

 the view looks fine from here

 everything seems nice this time of year

 and even though the future is unclear

 I might just stick around a while

 Cause the sun's about to rise

 oh, I've never seen it look so bright

I have waited all my life

Verse 3

 Got a couple hundred dollars and an 8x16 room

 most people think I'm crazy

 said I took off way too soon

 but I can't describe this longing that's pulling me inside

 sometimes following your heart can be an interesting ride

 but I'm looking over rooftops at the colors

 and I know that I am happy

Chorus

and I just have to say

 the view looks fine from here

 everything seems nice this time of year

 and even though the future is unclear

 I might just stick around a while
