[Intro]
Bm A Gmaj7 Bm A Gmaj7
Bm A Gmaj7
[Verse 1]
D Staring at trophies in milk crates G On the floor of a northeastern garage D Wondering how it's all such a blessing G And why it's all so damn hard
[Verse 2]
D It's the Massachusetts Turnpike G And when I get home, I'll creep down the hall D Snow in the headlights, they call it a dream G But the world's flat, and I'm falling off
[Chorus]
Em7 G Hold your arms out, jump, hell, at least you tried Em7 G I fall short, I always fall behind Bm A G I hate letting people down Bm A G I hate letting people down Bm A G D I hate letting people down, and I do it all the time
[Verse 3]
D I never wanted to hurt you G But I'm elbows deep in that dirt D I still count every unplanted seed G I write down every unspoken word
[Chorus]
Em7 G Hold your arms out, God help the justified Em7 G I fall short, I always fall behind Bm A G I hate letting people down Bm A G I hate letting people down Bm A G D I hate letting people down, and I do it all the time
[Bridge]
Bm A You get up for work every day, you drag yourself right out of bed Em G The arms of those angels are wrapped around the dreams you left Bm A I look the other way pretending not to notice Em G N.C. I don't know how it died, but I know where the ghost is
[Outro]
Bm A G I hate letting people down Bm A G I hate letting people down Bm A G Bm A I hate letting people down, and I do it all the time G Bm A G I'm sorry, I hate letting people down Bm A G D I'm sorry, I hate letting people down, and I do it all the time
