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