Emery
I Never Got to See the West Coast
Fsus2 C G
So is it courage or strength
C#5
and is that what I'm waiting for?
Fsus2 C G
If I could just kill myself
C#5
would it also kill the remorse?
Fsus2 C G
I wanted so badly to catch a break
C#5
but I'm only breaking down.
Fsus2 C
I'm still here and standing
G
but if it's up to me
C#5 Fsus2 C G
I don't think I'll be hanging around
Chorus
C
The drink slips down my throat
Em
and the burn cures nice and slow.
C#5 G
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
C
The only parts left of me
Now, here I am
Am
Just a kid without a better plan.
Fsus2 C#5
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most.
G
I never got to see the west coast.
Asus2, E, Asus2, E, G
Asus2, E, Asus2, E, G
Fsus2 C G
Spent my nights just asking why
C#5
Would God let me become like this.
Fsus2 C G
Was it a joke from the start?
C#5
Was I supposed to laugh more at it?
Fsus2 C G
And everyone's quoting their teachers and preachers
C#5
but their words make me feel so alone.
Fsus2 E~ B~
No one ever says that they've had those thoughts
C#5
in the middle of the night.
Asus2~ E~ B~
No one ever admits that they wanted to take their life.
Chorus
C
The drink slips down my throat
Em
and the burn cures nice and slow.
C#5 G
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
C
The only parts left of me
Now, here I am
Am
Just a kid without a better plan.
Fsus2 C#5
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most.
G
I never got to see the west coast.
Asus2, E, Asus2, E, G
Asus2, E, Asus2, E, G
Am
But it's the life I dreamed I have
G#
The love I find in my grasp
G C#5
The words I could share with someone.
Am
Those thoughts keep the breath in my lungs
G#
That tomorrow my hope will become
G C#5
fulfilled by a love that can't be undone.
Fsus2 C G
And save a wretch like me.
Chorus
C
So if the drink slips down your throat
Em
and the burn cures nice and slow.
C#5 G
All the worst parts you wouldn't want me to see.
C
The same parts, I have in me
Am
Now, scares me too we are both this way.
Fsus2
I feel just like you do.
G
But when you're by yourself you should know
One day we got to see the west coast.
Asus2, E, Asus2, E, B, End on Asus2
