Verse:
         Gb           Bbm
I've got tired eyes, a black sky
Ebm                        Db
Making it's home under my lash line
Gb                        Bbm
You keep on crying babe, I don't mind
Ebm                       Db
I keep on staring at the clock trying to pass time
Gb           Bbm
In my life, it flies by
Ebm                         Db
Faster than you could say, "I love you, goodbye"
Gb                  Bbm
"It's almost over", you say with a sigh
Ebm                               Db                      Gb
Will our lives be better when we make it to the other side?
 
Chorus:
Bbm  Ebm
Ah, ah
        Db                      Gb
hope we make it to the other side
Bbm  Ebm Db
Ah, ah
 
Verse:
Gb        Bbm
Eighteen, prom queen
Ebm                               Db
We spend our time thinking 'bout what we'll be doing
Gb                        Bbm
Walk quiet streets, not afraid of the sounds
Ebm               Db
Nothing bad ever happens in this town
Gb            Bbm
Mean dreams, can't sleep
Ebm                                Db
Younger me thought this'd be more bittersweet
Gb                        Bbm
But we never noticed how long it'd been
Ebm                       Db                Gb
Got too caught up in the life we're living
 
Chorus:
Bbm  Ebm
Ah, ah
        Db                        Gb
Hope we make it to the other side

Ah, ah

And I hope, I hope

Our smiles are wider than theirs is
  B       Gb
I hope, I hope
           Bbm                 Ebm
All of our dreams are kept fragrant
                          Db
And I'll meet you on the pavement
                                 Gb
When we make it to the other side
