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