Asus2       E          B 
So is it courage or strength 
        F5 
and is that what I'm waiting for? 
Asus2       E          B 
If I could just kill myself 
          F5 
would it also kill the remorse? 
Asus2         E        B 
I wanted so badly to catch a break 
         F5 
but I'm only breaking down. 
Asus2                 E 
I'm still here and standing 
            B 
but if it's up to me 
    F5                Asus2 E            B 
I don't think I'll be         hanging around 


      E 
The drink slips down my throat 
         Abm 
and the burn cures nice and slow. 
         F5                                 B 
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see 
                       E 
The only parts left of me 

Now, here I am 
        C#m 
Just a kid without a better plan. 
             Asus2                              F5 
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most. 
    B 
I never got to see the west coast.

Asus2      E                 B 
Spent my nights just asking why 
       F5 
Would God let me become like this. 
Asus2     E              B 
Was it a joke from the start? 
        F5  
Was I supposed to laugh more at it? 
Asus2             E                          B 
And everyone's quoting their teachers and preachers 
           F5 
but their words make me feel so alone. 
Asus2    E                    B 
No one ever says that they've had those thoughts 
         F5 
in the middle of the night. 
Asus2   E                    B 
No one ever admits that they wanted to take their life. 


      E 
The drink slips down my throat 
         Abm 
and the burn cures nice and slow. 
         F5                                 B 
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see 
                       E 
The only parts left of me 

Now, here I am 
        C#m 
Just a kid without a better plan. 
             Asus2                              F5 
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most. 
    B 
I never got to see the west coast.
 

Asus2, E, Asus2, E, B 
Asus2, E, Asus2, E, B 

              C#m 
But it's the life I dreamed I have 
      C 
The love I find in my grasp 
      B                         F5 
The words I could share with someone. 
         C#m 
Those thoughts keep the breath in my lungs 
        C 
That tomorrow my hope will become 
    B                               F5 
fulfilled by a love that can't be undone. 
    Asus2    E         B 
And save a wretch like me. 

 
            E 
So if the drink slips down your throat 
         Abm 
and the burn cures nice and slow. 
         F5                                  B    
All the worst parts you wouldn't want me to see. 
                          E 
The same parts, I have in me 
                           C#m 
Now, scares me too we are both this way. 
                    Asus2 
I feel just like you do. 
                                        B 
But when you're by yourself you should know 

One day we got to see the west coast.
