Capo 2nd fret

[Intro]
N.C.
That's a horrible idea
N.C.
Yeah, right?
N.C.
Hahaha
N.C.
That's why, that's why

[Chorus]
C        G                      
Goddamn, thought we had a chance
Am                                      Em                
Slipped right through my fingers when I had it in my hands
      C        G                
Yeah, goddamn, try to understand
Am                            G                  C   
That's the way it was, but it isn't who I am, goddamn

[Verse 1]
C                                
Every night I drive in the summer
G                             D             
Head out of the window, I'm a skydive jumper
C                                
Two bags like the eyes they under
G                          Em               
Chasing good times 'til we die, motherfucker

[Pre-Chorus]
C                             
Wasted years, but kept my soul
         G                D               
I always knew my home was rock 'n' rollin'
C                          
Days are short, before I go
          G                 Em            
I want my casket laced with guns and roses

[Chorus]
C        G                      
Goddamn, thought we had a chance
Am                                      Em                
Slipped right through my fingers when I had it in my hands
      C        G                
Yeah, goddamn, try to understand
Am                            G                  C   GAm Em
That's the way it was, but it isn't who I am, goddamn

[Post-Chorus]
   C   GAm Em
Goddamn
   C   
Goddamn

[Verse 2]
C           G           D                               C   
I swear too much, fuck, yeah, tell me something I don't know
           G         Em  
I care too much, so what?
                    C                                          
Life's short, and I spent too many hours doing nothing about it
      G                    D                      C      
And I spent too much money that never amounted to nothing
                                              G         
I been drowning in something, I'm a downer on substances
                  Em                           
I'm a functioning junkie turning my life around

[Pre-Chorus]
C                             
Wasted years, but kept my soul
         G                D               
I always knew my home was rock 'n' rollin'
C                          
Days are short, before I go
          G                 Em            
I want my casket laced with guns and roses

[Chorus]
C        G                      
Goddamn, thought we had a chance
Am                                      Em                
Slipped right through my fingers when I had it in my hands
      C        G                
Yeah, goddamn, try to understand
Am                            G                  C   
That's the way it was, but it isn't who I am, goddamn

[Bridge]
            G                      Am  
Never had a chance to be young, goddamn
             Em                     C   
No one grows old where I'm from, goddamn
                  G                     Am  
Going through the motions all alone, goddamn
                                                 C   
I can't lift this weight off of my shoulders, goddamn
                  G               Am  
Feel like they forgot my city, goddamn
               Em                  C   
No one sittin' shotgun with me, goddamn
               G                      Am  
I can feel the cracks in my bones, goddamn
                  G                   C   
I don't think I'm ever goin' home, goddamn

[Outro]
C                                     G    
See somethin' pretty, then I look too close
             D                      C    
Do somethin' shitty, so my darkness shows
                              G 
Push you away 'til you let me go
              Em     C   GD
Sick of who I am, goddamn
   C   GEm
