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

Gm  Cm
Ah, ah

Hope we make it to the other side
Gm  Cm Bb
Ah, ah

And I hope, I hope

All of our homes have white fences

Our smiles are wider than theirs is

I hope, I hope

All of our dreams are kept fragrant

And I'll meet you on the pavement

When we make it to the other side
