[A] I broke free on a Saturday [E] morning, [D] put the pedal to the [A] floor.
Headed north on Mills [E] Avenue, and [D] listened to the [A] engine roar.

[C#m] [D] .
[A] .
[E] [D] .
[A] My broken house behind me [E] and good things ahead.
A [D] girl named Kathy wants a little of [A] my time.
Six cylinders underneath [E] the hood, crashing and kicking.
[D] Ah ha, listen to the [A] engine whine.
I am gonna make it through [E] this year, if [D] it kills me.
[A] I am gonna make it through [E] this year, if [D] it kills me.

[A] I played video games in [E] a drunken haze.
I [D] was 17 [A] years young.
Hurt my knuckle, punching the [E] machines.
The [D] taste of scotch rich on [A] my tongue.

[E] [A] And then Kathy showed up and [E] we hung out.
[D] Trading swigs from the bottle, [A] all bitter and clean.
Locking eyes, [E] holding hands, twin [D] high maintenance [A] machines.
I am gonna make it through this [E] year, if [D] it kills me.
[A] I am gonna make it through this [E] year, if it [D] kills me.
[A] [F#m] I drove home in the [A] California dusk.
[D] I could feel the alcohol [A] inside of me.
Home [F#m] picture the look on my [A] stepfather's face.
[D] Ready for the bad [E] things to come.
I [A] downshifted as I pulled into [E] the driveway.
[D] The motor screaming out, [A] stuck in second gear.
The scene ends badly as you [E] might imagine.
[D] In a cavalcade of anger [A] and fear.
There will be feasting [C#m] and dancing [D] in Jerusalem [E] next year.
I [A] am gonna make it through this [E] year, if [D] it kills me.
[A] I am gonna make it through this [E] year, if [D] it kills me.
