C#m B
Well I could curse this neighborhood
E A
For giving me just what it should
G#m C#m
B place to set my lawyers bars
F#m B
In backseats of my high friends cars
C#m B
I’m standing still, I’m thinking fast
E A
My second natures built to last
G#m C#m
I’m first in line to disappear
F#m B
And rethink in about ten years
E Am E
But I’ll wait, till it does a little harm
Am E
To stand with open arms
Am F#m
To course correct my self respect
B E
Until I go too far
B C#m
And I’ll measure by the best
B E
And I’ll swear that I’m the worst
B A Am
And I’ll place my bets on my only card
C#m B
So I could curse this neighborhood
E A
For letting me be what i could
G#m C#m
Please cut me down out of the roots
F#m B
I planted with a good excuse
C#m B
I’m thinking slow and moving fast
E A
Like easy roads are built to last
G#m C#m
Like hypocrites need sympathy
F#m B
For fighting who they’re meant to be
E Am E
But I’ll wait, till it does a little harm
Am E
To stand with open arms
Am F#m
To course correct my self respect
B E
Until I go too far
B C#m
And I’ll say I need the best
B E
And I’ll measure by the worst
B A Am
And I’ll raise my debts And say it ain’t so hard
-Instrumental-
C#m B
So I could curse this neighborhood
E A
For keeping me from what it could
G#m C#m
I’m cashing in I’m moving up
F#m B
I’m spending all my time and luck
C#m B
Im heading on I’m looking back
E A
Im setting up an even match
G#m C#m
I’ll stop rethinking each mistake
F#m B
Nothing short of ten years late
E Am E
But I’ll wait, till it does a little harm
Am E
To stand with open arms
Am F#m
To course correct my self respect
B E
Until I go too far
B C#m
And I’ll try to be my best
B E
And I’ll live with all my worst
B A Am
And I’ll get upset and thank my fate and stars
