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