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