Chords

[Intro] D D A G x3 D A A G G [Verse]
D
I’m looking for the upsides

G                      D        
to these panic-attack nights

                             A                G
where I’m staying in eating take-out food by TV light

D                      G                               D
I’m trying to play the b-side to this awkward life of mine

                            A           G
You could flip me over I’d sing a few lines about how
[Pre Chorus]
G                                       A
I’m so used to shooting myself in the kneecaps

                         G                           A
standing in the way of progress or letting down my friends
[Chorus]
     D
I’m nailing shards of hope together

    G              A
to put something over my head

         Bm                         
because you know here it’s always raining

         G                   A
and it happened again. It happened again

             D
She said, “I let this slide when we were younger

G                           A
You know you don’t have to write like this

     Bm                
The whole world’s full of losers

           G            A
If you get a chance to win, take it”
[Interlude] D D A G x3 D A A G G [Verse]
D                                 G
I stood on the roof with Matt and Molly

                                D
Watched the gray slide off the city

                       G
because it’s finally spring

D                          G
We rode our bikes over to 6th Street

                      D          A                   G           D
to Washington Square Park to see if the tides would turn for me
[Chorus]
     D
I’m nailing shards of hope together

    G              A
to put something over my head

         Bm                         
because you know here it’s always raining

         G                   A
and it happened again. It happened again

             D
She said, “I let this slide when we were younger

G                           A
You know you don’t have to write like this

     Bm                
The whole world’s full of losers

           G            A
If you get a chance to win, take it”
[Outro] Bm D G G
   D                        G
I left a lot of blood in California

        A
on our first trip out west

Bm       D          G
I was younger and restless back then

       D                          G
and I thought, if no one’s in my corner

        A
since everyone left

Bm         D        G
I’d better make it worth it

  D
I left a lot of blood in California on our first trip out west

A                   G
I was younger and restless back then and I thought, 

D
if no one’s in my corner since everyone left

A                   G
I’d better make it worth it

   D
I left a lot of blood in California on our first trip out west
N.C. I was younger and restless back then
