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