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