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