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