 D   D   A   Gx3
D A A G G
[Verse]
DI’m looking for the upsides
Gto these panic-attack nDights
where I’m staying in eating tAake-out food by TGV light
DI’m trying to play the Gb-side to this awkward life of mDine
You could flip me over I’d sAing a few liGnes about how
[Pre Chorus]
GI’m so used to shooting myself in the knAeecaps
standing in the way of prGogress or letting down my frAiends
[Chorus]
I’m nDailing shards of hope together
to pGut something ovAer my head
because yBmou know here it’s always raining
and it haGppened again. It hapApened again
She said, “I Dlet this slide when we were younger
GYou know you don’t have to wArite like this
The wBmhole world’s full of losers
If you get Ga chance to wAin, take it”
 [Interlude]
 D   D   A   Gx3
D A A G G
[Verse]
DI stood on the roof with Matt and GMolly
Watched the gray slide off the cDity
because it’s finally spGring
DWe rode our bikes over to 6Gth Street
to Washington Square PDark to see Aif the tides would tGurn for meD  
[Chorus]
I’m nDailing shards of hope together
to pGut something ovAer my head
because yBmou know here it’s always raining
and it haGppened again. It hapApened again
She said, “I Dlet this slide when we were younger
GYou know you don’t have to wArite like this
The wBmhole world’s full of losers
If you get Ga chance to wAin, take it”
[Outro]
Bm D G G
I lDeft a lot of blood in CalGifornia
on our fAirst trip out west
BmI was youDnger and reGstless back then
and I tDhought, if no one’s in my cGorner
since evAeryone left
BmI’d better Dmake it wGorth it
I Dleft a lot of blood in California on our first trip out west
AI was younger and reGstless back then and I thought, 
Dif no one’s in my corner since everyone left
AI’d better make it wGorth it
I lDeft a lot of blood in California on our first trip out west
N.C.
I was younger and restless back then

[Intro]

D D A G

D A A G G

[Verse]

I’m looking for the upsides

G D

to these panic-attack nights

A G

where I’m staying in eating take-out food by TV light

D G D

I’m trying to play the b-side to this awkward life of mine

A G

You could flip me over I’d sing a few lines about how

[Pre Chorus]

G A

I’m so used to shooting myself in the kneecaps

G A

standing in the way of progress or letting down my friends

[Chorus]

I’m nailing shards of hope together

G A

to put something over my head

because you know here it’s always raining

G A

and it happened again. It happened again

She said, “I let this slide when we were younger

G A

You know you don’t have to write like this

The whole world’s full of losers

G A

If you get a chance to win, take it”

[Interlude]

D D A G

D A A G G

[Verse]

D G

I stood on the roof with Matt and Molly

Watched the gray slide off the city

because it’s finally spring

D G

We rode our bikes over to 6th Street

D A G D

to Washington Square Park to see if the tides would turn for me

[Chorus]

I’m nailing shards of hope together

G A

to put something over my head

because you know here it’s always raining

G A

and it happened again. It happened again

She said, “I let this slide when we were younger

G A

You know you don’t have to write like this

The whole world’s full of losers

G A

If you get a chance to win, take it”

[Outro]

Bm D G G

D G

I left a lot of blood in California

on our first trip out west

Bm D G

I was younger and restless back then

D G

and I thought, if no one’s in my corner

since everyone left

Bm D G

I’d better make it worth it

I left a lot of blood in California on our first trip out west

A G

I was younger and restless back then and I thought,

if no one’s in my corner since everyone left

A G

I’d better make it worth it

I left a lot of blood in California on our first trip out west

N.C.

I was younger and restless back then
