Verse:
A F#m
It seems like you're doing better these days
A F#m
even though things are falling apart
A F#m
I know it's brutal working minimum wage
E D
It's like you're finished before you start
Things got ugly for a while back there
I know I thought that you wouldn't pull through
Late at night when the phone would ring
There's no telling what you would do
Sometimes we'd yell and mad as hell
Sometimes we'd act like we didn't care
Some of our love was just suffocating
It left you turning blue and gasping for air
F#m D A E
C'mon kid, c'mon, it's one foot and then the other
F#m D A E
Everybody needs a hand sometimes everybody needs a brother
F#m D A E
C'mon kid, c'mon, I'm reaching out to you
F#m D A E
Get out of bed, kid face the world, and show us what you can do
Verse:
A F#m
I'm sorry I was always casting stones
A F#m
Like my glass house couldn't be smashed
A F#m
I spent as many night as wild as a lion
E D
I was lucky that I never crashed
Look, I've never really been no angel
I see a lot of myself in you
This little town can feel a lot like prison
And angry young men always have something to prove
(yeah we always got something to prove)
Chorus
Bridge:
D A
I know you ended up with bills to pay
E A
I know she promised you that she would stay
D A
I know they told you he died for your sins
E A
And he's the only way
I know it caught you by surprise
I got a call that you almost died
Second chances are a crime to waste
E D
So don't let time decide, don't let time decide (Heeeeey)
Chorus
Ending:
A F#m A F#m
C'mon kid, c'mon
A F#m
C'mon kid, c'mon
E D
(yeeaaah yeaaah)
A F#m A F#m
C'mon kid, c'mon
A F#m
c'mon kid, c'mon
E D
And show us what you can do
