[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
