[E]
[F#] [C#m] [E]
[A] [B]
[A] I [E]
grew up on the yellow [A] light on the street
Put into my trade and [B] they make believe that
Another high school [A] football team
The [E]
neighbors brother came home in a [A] box but he wanted to go
So maybe it [B] was his fault
Another red heart taken by [A] the American dream
And I feel [C#m] it there
In the middle of [B] the night when the lights go out
And I'm all [A] alone out here
I'm [E]
the same leg [A] of need, I'm the fist for once
A long cold [B] war with the kids in the front
Just give it one more [A] day then you're done, done
[E] I do what I want, crying and bleaching in a saddler's bun
I don't need [B] anyone, anyone
It's just [A] not my year, but I'm all [E] alone out here
[A] Hands over my knees and I run for my faces
[B] I'm sorry if I seemed off but I was probably [A] wasting my breath
And it didn't feel so good
[E] It's not like [F#] Jesus if you're listening at the end of my lyrical
[B] And Jesus if you're [E] there, why do I feel [A] alone in this room
With you
And I feel [C#m] it there
In the middle of the [B] night when the lights go out
But I'm still [A] standing here
[E] I'm the same leg of need, [A] I'm the fist for once
A long cold [B] war with the kids in the front
Just [A] give it one more day then you're done, [E] done
I do what I want, crying and [A] bleaching in a saddler's bun
I don't need [B] anything from anyone
It's just not [E] my year, but I'm all alone out here
I'm the same leg of need, [A] I'm the fist for once
A long cold [B] war with the kids in the front
Just give it one more day [A] then you're done
