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