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