[Intro] Bm A Gmaj7 Bm A Gmaj7 Bm A Gmaj7 [Verse] D Staring at trophies in milk crates G On the floor of a northeastern garage D Wondering how it's all such a blessing G And why it's all so dang hard [Verse] D It's the Massachusetts Turnpike G And when I get home, I'll creep down the hall D Snow in the headlights, they call it a dream G But the world's flat, and I'm falling off [Chorus] Em7 G Hold your arms out, jump, heck, at least you tried Em7 G I fall short, I always fall behind Bm A G I hate letting people down Bm A G I hate letting people down Bm A G I hate letting people down, and D I do it all the time [Verse] D I never wanted to hurt you G But I'm elbows deep in that dirt D I still count every unplanted seed G I write down every unspoken word [Chorus] Em7 Hold your arms out, G God help the justified Em7 G I fall short, I always fall behind Bm A G I hate letting people down Bm A G I hate letting people down Bm A G I hate letting people down, and D I do it all the time [Bridge] Bm You get up for work every day, A you drag yourself right out of bed Em G The arms of those angels are wrapped around the dreams you left Bm A I look the other way pretending not to notice Em I don't know how it died, but G N.C. I know where the ghost is [Outro] Bm A G I hate letting people down Bm A G I hate letting people down Bm A G I hate letting people down, and Bm A I do it all the time G Bm A G I'm sorry, I hate letting people down Bm A I'm sorry, I hate letting people down, G D and I do it all the time
