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