[Intro]
E    A  Abm    Gbm    B
B    Abm    Dbm    A   B
[Verse]
I was backed against the Etraps of my teenage Aplan
I was stumbling Abmover Gbmgaps and feeling beat up Bagain
I was staring Adown the Abmcorpse of a lifelong Dbmdream
But I was willing Bit to Aget back on its feet aBgain
[Verse]
I was walking through my Elife and feeling sick, that’s Awhen
I would find myAbmself reGbmpeating my old stories to Bfriends
Always searching Afor a Abmnotion that resembled a Dbmhope
That I was standing Bon the Averge of something good, I don’t Bknow
On the verge of something
[Chorus]
EOh oh ohoh Gbmoh
AOhhhh
EOh oh ohoh Gbmoh
AOh oh ohoh Boh
[Bridge]
From the Etraps of my teenage Gbmplan
I was Awearing out my feet Bagain
Working Enights for some old Gbmbusinessman
Who couldn’t Agive a second shit about Bme (I was grasping at a hope)
I’d take a Ehope and a borrowed Gbmsedan (I couldn’t take it any more)
And I’d Aride out to the state that’s Bwhen (Spending hours on the phone with the pharmacy)
I’d be pulling up to some Dbmsuburban pharmaGbmcy
And I’d be Abegging them to tell me Bsomething
[Verse]
I was closing out the Ebar every night and Athen
I was waking Abmup each Gbmmorning around 6aBm
I was driving Ato the Abmdoctor and then back Dbmagain
You know, they never Bseemed to Ahave any good news to me Bthen
[Verse]
I was walking through my Elife and feeling sick that’s Awhen
I started plotting Abmout a Gbmcourse to getting free Bagain
While making pennies for some Abmpsychopath businessDbmman
I started thinking Bthat I Amight be on the verge of Bsomething
On the verge of something
[Chorus]
EOh oh ohoh Gbmoh
Ohh ohoh Aohhh
EOh oh ohoh Gbmoh
Ohh ohoh Aohhh
EOh oh ohoh Gbmoh
AOh oh ohoh Boh
DbmOh oh ohoh Gbmoh
Oh ohoh Aohhh
