[Chorus]
C
[tab]C7
[tab]     Am              C                  F
Just wondering if I will ever break through

  G                       C  F
Everyday I'm chippin' away

    Dm               G          Am
Distracted with the work I gotta do
[Verse 1]
C                             F     E
Waking up with cobwebs in my coffee

C                              F    E
Stuck inside the static in my head

C                C7              F
Skeletons are standing in my closet

G                           A7
Laughing at me lying in my bed
[Pre-Chorus]
               Am  C    G
Well I'm gonna get my gloves

           C      C7
I'm gonna toughen up

G            E7           Am Am7 C
Get up, get down, and get moving on

C7   Dm      E
And when it hurts

          C       F
I'm gonna do the work

Dm                   G                  E
Little by little by little, baby, every day
[Chorus]
  Am         C
I'm chippin' away

F        E
Chippin' away

     Am              C                F      E
Just wondering if I will ever break through

   Dm  G                C F
Everyday I'm chippin' away

   Dm               G             Am
Distracted with the work I gotta do
[Verse 2]
C                             F     E
Staring up the shadows in my psyche

C                                F    E
Diggin' through the attic in my heart

C                   C7                F
Well, growin' up is never nice and tidy

G                                       A7
Oh, just tryin' find my way back to the start
[Pre-Chorus]
               Am   C   G
Well I'm gonna get my gloves

           C      C7
I'm gonna toughen up

G            E7           Am Am7 C
Get up, get down, and get moving on

C7   Dm      E
And when it hurts

          C       F
I'm gonna do the work

Dm                   G                  E
Little by little by little, baby, every day
[Chorus]
  Am         C
I'm chippin' away

F        E
Chippin' away

     Am              C                F      E
Just wondering if I will ever break through

Distracted with the work I gotta do
