[Verse 1]
Ab Cm
Staring like a stranger from the dirt field
Ab
Across from my, my childhood home
Cm
Noticed how out of place I looked there
Bb
It’s a place I can’t afford
Ab Cm
When my family lost it back in '08
Ab
We swore it was just a setback
And all we needed was to graduate
Keep ignoring facts
[Lead guitar]

[Verse 2]
Ab
Stuck working at that third job driving
Cm
Well-meaning moms to protest for minimum wage
Ab
Still depressed, still living for the weekend
Cm Bb
Still terrified to die at your age
Ab
No cancer, no crash
Cm
It better all go as planned
One day soon you’re not gonna get by
Ab
You know damn well they’re ain't a promised land
The cost of living means
It costs to stay alive

And you’ll always wake up tired
Because there’s nowhere we go from here
Eb
They'll say that these are our exciting days
Ab
At least until they ask our age
Cm Bb Ab
Now I’m just a walking tragic ending
Fuck, I don’t wanna be the last one standing
[Lead guitar]

[Verse 3]
Eb Ab
So I’m leaving the city
Cm Bb
Maybe the country
Ab
Maybe the earth
Eb
Gotta find a place of my own
Ab
Where the fuckups aren’t cops
Cm
Patrolling neighborhoods they’re afraid of
Bb Ab
And the rest of us won’t burn out
Eb
Displacing locals from neighborhoods we’re afraid of
Ab
Now if we weren't bailed out
Cm
Every time by our parents we'd be dead
Bb Ab
What’s gonna happen when they’re dead?
[Lead guitar same]
[Chorus]
Eb
Don’t you know you were born to die poor man?
Ab
Don’t you know that you’re gonna do yourself in?
Cm Bb Ab
And you’ll always wake up tired
Because there’s nowhere we go from here
Eb
They'll say that these are our exciting days
Ab
At least until they ask our age
Cm Bb Ab
Now I’m just a walking tragic ending
