Verse:
         Db           Fm
I've got tired eyes, a black sky
Bbm                        Ab
Making it's home under my lash line
Db                        Fm
You keep on crying babe, I don't mind
Bbm                       Ab
I keep on staring at the clock trying to pass time
Db           Fm
In my life, it flies by
Bbm                         Ab
Faster than you could say, "I love you, goodbye"
Db                  Fm
"It's almost over", you say with a sigh
Bbm                               Ab                      Db
Will our lives be better when we make it to the other side?
 
Chorus:
Fm  Bbm
Ah, ah
        Ab                      Db
hope we make it to the other side
Fm  Bbm Ab
Ah, ah

Eighteen, prom queen
Bbm                               Ab
We spend our time thinking 'bout what we'll be doing
Db                        Fm
Walk quiet streets, not afraid of the sounds
Bbm               Ab
Nothing bad ever happens in this town
Db            Fm
Mean dreams, can't sleep
Bbm                                Ab
Younger me thought this'd be more bittersweet
Db                        Fm
But we never noticed how long it'd been
Bbm                       Ab                Db
Got too caught up in the life we're living

Fm  Bbm
Ah, ah
