Intro
C F Fbm Dm G
G Fbm Am F G
[Verse]
C F
I was backed against the traps of my teenage plan
Fbm Dm G
I was stumbling over gaps and feeling beat up again
F Fbm Am
I was staring down the corpse of a lifelong dream
G F G
But I was willing it to get back on its feet again
[Verse]
C F
I was walking through my life and feeling sick, that’s when
Fbm Dm G
I would find myself repeating my old stories to friends
F Fbm Am
Always searching for a notion that resembled a hope
G F G
That I was standing on the verge of something good, I don’t know
On the verge of something
[Chorus]
C Dm
Oh oh ohoh oh
F
Ohhhh
C Dm
Oh oh ohoh oh
F G
Oh oh ohoh oh
[Bridge]
C Dm
From the traps of my teenage plan
F G
I was wearing out my feet again
C Dm
Working nights for some old businessman
F G
Who couldn’t give a second shit about me (I was grasping at a hope)
C Dm
I’d take a hope and a borrowed sedan (I couldn’t take it any more)
F G
And I’d ride out to the state that’s when (Spending hours on the phone with the pharmacy)
Am Dm
I’d be pulling up to some suburban pharmacy
F G
And I’d be begging them to tell me something
[Verse]
C F
I was closing out the bar every night and then
Fbm Dm G
I was waking up each morning around 6am
F Fbm Am
I was driving to the doctor and then back again
G F G
You know, they never seemed to have any good news to me then
[Verse]
C F
I was walking through my life and feeling sick that’s when
Fbm Dm G
I started plotting out a course to getting free again
Fbm Am
While making pennies for some psychopath businessman
G F G
I started thinking that I might be on the verge of something
On the verge of something
[Chorus]
C Dm
Oh oh ohoh oh
F
Ohh ohoh ohhh
C Dm
Oh oh ohoh oh
F
Ohh ohoh ohhh
C Dm
Oh oh ohoh oh
F G
Oh oh ohoh oh
Am Dm
Oh oh ohoh oh
F
Oh ohoh ohhh
